Lots of speculation in these comments. Firstly, it's not going to have a thermal sensor that matches the resolution of the eyepiece displays. Most thermal monoculars use displays that are larger in pixel size to allow for the image to be offset so you can align the image with your other eye and not see double. Secondly thermal sensors of all sorts of sizes are produced for the consumer market, I use a 480x640 60hz 12um monocular that anyone with enough money in the US can buy off the shelf. These devices can often fall under ITAR regulations which can complicate international export of them. This is the same ITAR regulations as gen 2/gen 3 night vision has but it only applies to export, so consumers only need to worry about it if they themselves want to export it.

Quote from: Banana on Today at 00:27:34It's likely to at least have a resolution that matches the screens. I don't know about you but I know what I can do with even just a low resolution thermal camera. I certainly won't be looking for tiny bugs crawling on a tree across the forest, although I admit that would be cool.

They have commented that the thermal sensor has a resolution of 384 x 288. This is as good as consumer sensors get. Anything higher costs thousands.
But the 60hz claim is sus. Since there are legal restrictions limiting those sensors to 25hz. Anything higher makes it a military product.

Quote from: anonimous on Yesterday at 21:26:13Since there is no tech spec of thermal camera resolution it's scam.

A 4K night vision camera with 10x zoom, which is also a 60 Hz thermal imaging camera, SpectraEyes aims to deliver a complete package for night-time excursions in a relatively compact housing.
