- What does the 384x288 sensor resolution mean in practice?
- It is a mid-range thermal resolution. You can pick out people and animals at distance, but fine detail and small objects are soft compared with 640x512 sensors.
- How far can it detect a person at night?
- The 35 mm lens gives a narrow, long view, so a person is typically detectable several hundred meters out in clear conditions. Fog, rain and heat haze shorten that.
- Will it fit my vehicle's electrical system?
- It runs on 12-16 VDC at 3 W, which suits most cars, trucks and off-road rigs. It needs a fused connection and a display to show the image.
- Is it waterproof enough for rain and car washes?
- The IP69 rating means it is sealed against dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. That covers rain, mud and pressure washing.
- Does it come with a screen or mount?
- The listed contents are the camera itself with its sealed housing and power requirements. Check the box contents for a mount and display before buying.
- How does it compare with a wide-angle thermal camera?
- A wide-angle unit shows more of the road edge and nearby hazards. The Scout's 35 mm lens trades that coverage for longer detection range.
