... you can't use thermal alarms...

Considering getting one of these. By thermal alarms, do you mean triggers or the alarm on the contacts? Does thermal motion detection work?

Thanks,
K.
 
These look really nice! I just wish the price was lower, or the field of view was much larger so you would need less of them.
 
A larger field of view isn't necessarily great given the low resolution of the thermal sensors. These are only 160x120, so a person at 50 feet is like 3 pixels wide if you are lucky. Zoom it out and suddenly that person is one pixel wide.
 
Good point, but I wouldn't think you need much resolution to just use it as a tripwire for the normal starlight cameras to reduce false alarms.
 
this one can do 800usd per one for guys here, but we not keep stock, any guys interested, just contact me .

Is this the same one you are talking about by any chance?

$533 is the current price.

Yes, before that cam was discontinued it was available for $200-250 through lorex, and even then it was not well liked because it is such a glitchy and low resolution sensor (80 x 60 pixels) and they intentionally crippled the firmware so it would not compete as much with higher cost versions. I couldn't even convince myself to buy a second one at the lower price, so there's simply no way I would pay $533 for one.

How come they didn't release a follow-up camera to the TCX? Or is the BF2120 the follow-up? There should be something in the $300 to $400 range I would think.
 
TCX is FLIR's brand, even though it was made by Dahua. So I would not say the BF2120 is a follow-up.

I imagine the TCX cameras didn't sell very well. Reviews were few, and mixed. I feel like the price was too high for what the camera offered. I might have bought another one or two if the first one had proved to be less glitchy, and if they hadn't crippled the firmware like they did. I was holding out for a gen2 with their 160x120 sensor and industry-standard thermal image configuration options, but it never came and they just discontinued the product line instead.

I'd like for Seek Thermal to build something to light a fire under Dahua and FLIR but Seek doesn't seem interested and they'd probably do it wrong anyway (wifi, batteries, forced cloud streaming, or other such consumer-focused crap).

We should contact them as a huge forum and let them know that the discontinued product line is not acceptable to us. We need lower cost thermal, d*** it!

I agree that they seem to need some competition in this space. You know, like what we have with PC keyboard and mouse manufactures.
