content: Is anyone on this forum in need of high end external pan tilt Thermal CCTV ? I am thinking is selling my two Ganz units as I will never use them. Both are professional units and not toys. One is an all metal 320 x 240 pixel unit like the Bosch Metal Mickey units and is in really lovely condition. The other is a brand new DRS Ultra 6000 ((Branded Ganz) IP/Composite video pan tilt head with built in intelligence and web server. Oh and it’s a 640 x 480pixel unitThese cost a small fortune new so chance of getting a bargain here but they will still not be pocket money cheap.If there is any interest in these, I will post more detail. If not, they will likely go on eBay at a high price to test the market.Fraser

content: Please, no questions about how “cheap” these are and “are they under $100”Most who know about these cameras and their features know their general ‘used’ market value and what they cost new. They were both over £15K new but I am not daft and not expecting anything like that for them. Neither am I giving them away thoughSerious interest only please.These are specialist cameras and not toysFraser

content: The Ultra 6000 (Ganz) unit has never been installed and is “as new” in its original box. It still has the protective plastic over the window. The core inside the unit is the DRS Tamarisk 640 x 480 pixel unit and it provides 30fps. That core on its own costs a small fortune and is great for drone use. FOV of the camera is wide in line with its intended use for CCTV.Fraser

content: That's fortunate timing. My eBay hunt only got me past several scams with communication issues on the current candidates.Note me as very interested in the Ultra 6000; I will probably look into disassembling it, but would use it as is for the coming months(untill school is finished). I somehow limited myself in budget, but there is headroom for sure. Will sent a message probably tommorow.

content: Out of curiosity and the need for more general information for the used IR camera community, what kind of price range do these fall in? My uneducated guess would be <$1500 with the lower res versions more towards the <$500 range?

content: Quote from: Hyper_Spectral on April 22, 2019, 05:02:00 pmI suspect you are being somewhat optimistic. I don't recall seeing 640x480 30Hzcoresat much under about $3000, let alone with a high quality pan and tilt unit.320x240 is of course less, but I suspect $1000 with a good pan and tilt would be something of a bargain.(In both cases I'm assuming new/as new condition from someone who knows what they're selling, not an eBay bargain no-one else spotted).

content: A potential buyer of my Ultra 6000 stated that new they are $9K. Used they are $6K. Mine was as new and had not been installed. I sold it for under $2K to a very nice chap up NorthCould I have got more ? Maybe, but I recovered all of my investment in it so I am contentIt is not always about pure profit with me.Fraser
