I've selling a thermal imaging camera for 8BTC.  This unit has been removed from a Cadillac with FLIR option.  Made by raytheon, the same guys that make night vision for military helicopters and tanks.  When supplied with 12vdc it outputs a standard RCA video signal compatible with just about anything.  This thing has a million uses from finding insulation leaks to identifying thermal hotspots in ASIC designs to checking a breaker box for overloaded circuits.  I mostly just play with it while drinking beer.  This probably cant be shipped outside of the USA due to its extreme awesomeness.

My dog Penny is demonstrating it with a few cold beer bottles for contrast.

Edit - I forgot to mention this camera is very popular for ghost hunting.  Not my cup of tea, but whatever.

This works in the dark? What range?

Yes, it sees heat instead of light so darkness is irrelevant.  It is advertised as being able to spot a deer or person at 4x the distance of a driver using headlamps.  It is quite a narrow FOV so pretty long range, many hundreds of yards.  Here is a (shakey) video taken with this exact model.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l96g7yeT-XM

Is there some number or other designation or company name on it?

It would be nice to look the specs up. It will also answer the question if it is to awsome to ship. I'm thinking  astro photography !

Interesting, I never thought to point it at the sky.

Thanks for the info. There are no specs on-line other than the resolution and yes Raytheon does mill spec IR imagers mostly.

So not trying to sell it outside the US is a smart decision.

Weigh? Size?  Do you think its possible to remove the camera unit itself? I would like to mount it on a quadcopter for search and rescue. Max weight would have to be somewhere around 300 grams.

I'm interested if you are willing to ship to Australia. Don't expect to, but PM me if you're interested.

I'm interested and yes, I'm in US.  You say pennies on the dollar.  I'm wondering if you meant pennies on the dollar as to what this would get on eBay or pennies on the dollar as to what this option originally cost on the vehicle?  I'd rather not make an offer and piss you off if I'm not sure what ballpark you are looking for.  ;D

I suppose I mean pennies on the dollar for what a raytheon thermal imager has cost in the past/would cost our government.  I'm looking for approx ebay value.

Bump de bump

that thing looks sick.. ill take it for 10btc

Price lowered to 12 bitcoins as btc value is rising

** Back on topic.

Psst... You had an offer for 10BTC... look up... stop drinking...

Also note... (The glass you are using is "blurring" the image. They make a special glass that allows the "heat" to be detected better. Also, cooling the back of the unit will sharpen the image too. The sensors generate heat themselves, and need slight cooling otherwise they blur like that, detecting the heat they generate in the process of detection.)

That is a nice unit BTW. Worth much more than you are asking, even if it is a little. "behind" in the times. (That is not a knock... almost all FLIR technology is old. The new stuff has a higher price-tag beyond "consumer-level" purchase. But now there are consumer-level units, that operate at a fraction of what he is offering here, for the same price.)

Also note... These are PERFECT for home evaluations and for monitoring your computer/rig heat designs... You can see where all the actual heat is... instead of just guessing, or depending on uncalibrated passive internal sensors that don't actually help you design a thing.

Look at all the thermal images of graphics-cards and motherboards and case designs in google-images. You don't need a sharp image to see heat, you just overlay a real image on top, like they do.

I am still awed by the resolution that thing has.
