I bought it from a local reseller here in Poland so the link is not going to be useful. I just checked again and same guy now is trying to sell it at almost double the price. There is something weird going on with the pricing of these. I see them online for as much as $1500, the usual price in the US seems to be around $600+ (it's definitely not worth it). The cheapest I can find it now is $370 Again in Poland - https://allegro.pl/oferta/kamera-ip-dahua-tpc-df1241-15294596773 Perhaps I was just lucky to get it at a good moment. I realise it's not very useful outside Europe.@Luk88 I can't seem to find that anywhere for sale for anything close to $275. Do you have a link?
I'd never pay $600+ for that camera. It is far worse in terms of image quality than for example this https://www.amazon.pl/gp/aw/d/B0CN2ZHKQ4/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 add on imager. That one is not cheap. I bought it for $370, but it has really nice image quality. You can see deer (or a person) from 450m away at pitch black. It would be a shame to waste such a nice thermal imager for watching a battery 24/7, but getting it, or similar and plugging it into something like a raspberry pi is probably the only "budget" option at the moment.
