Chinese camera?
Ok this may be a slight long shot but I was curious before I committed to the project and went for it.
I’m trying to implement a CVBS thermal camera that is high resolution, preferably a 640x512 option. And obviously given this is a DIY project cameras like the FLIR boson are pretty much out of the question budget wise (they are 4k+ USD)
Has anyone ever had any experience purchasing Chinese cameras such as the one pictured below? Seems like almost all of them are made in Shenzen and there is various suppliers. Also ordering electronics on Alibaba vs straight from the supplier?
How good the price is compared to the American specs scares me. Sorry if this is off topic or somewhat a dumb question, considering the answer will most likely be “you won’t know til you try” but the internets a cool place with a lot of people who’ve likely made the exact same mistake as me lol.
Just a P.S the spec sheet matches exactly what I need for my project so…
