So, I had a Flir Pathfindir II, but it was damaged in an unrelated to animals/pedestrian incident, and as I prepare to buy another and also see about repairing the one I have ( - I dislike how the prices still have not come down since I got one a year ago. These cameras are still ... Overpriced.
My other camera, the Therm App Hz, hasn't... really come down, although one can find freaks for it a tiny bit cheaper. But then again, considering they started out at $5000 before coming down to $1600 technically... But the PF has never come down.
I am aware of the Seek Automotive camera, that strangely seems only black hot , that is equal to the PF2 spec wise but $1000, but they have not released them for sale yet, almost a year later.
Flir is working on autonomous solutions with the Boson, but there's nothing aside from the PF2,
And Adasky is looking good with theirs being 640X480, but they are also still in development.
And GuideNDriver actually is impressive theoretically, for a direct PF2 competitor, but at 3500......ugh
Is there any hope near term for automotive night vision coming down in price?? It seems to me it's just IP-69 bodies and the recognition software that separate the automotive thermals from the thermapps and seek compacts tech wise.
