rory 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Thermal cameras are nothing new in the CCTV industry, but that price is good compared to the others. Im not a fan of those old crappy housings though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cglaeser 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Thermal cameras are nothing new in the CCTV industry, IP + PoE + low price for thermal is big news. I just checked some online prices for the Samsung STC-14 Thermal Security Camera and found some in the $7k - $8k range. I thought I had seen some in the $5K - $6K range last year, but I could be wrong or perhaps the retail prices have been increased. In any case, the street price for the Axis will be significantly less than the previously available competitors, even if they sell at MSRP.

Best, Christopher Nope, not really news, cause really you can just add that feature to almost any CCTV camera. No idea about Samsumg but yeah the Ganz is not cheap. Thats why when you look at the Extreme CCTV Cameras their price is not that bad, compared to thermal IR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cglaeser 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Yeah but thats not bad, since Thermal is not for ID anyway. Correct. This is ideal for detection in star light or less. How many people, are they walking, which direction, that sort of thing. No IR needed, even in total darkness. Best, Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
