Thermal Camera system installed... pretty cool gadget to avoid / notice wildlife

Hey guys, i just installed a Vantrue Pilot 2 system in my truck last weekend and it is awesome. All of my cars have Vantrue in them because they use the good Sony sensors. I have gone through 3 different systems in my Ranger and this is my final upgrade... if i were starting over, i would totally just get this thing and be done with it!

I know that some others have posted of some super high end thermal cameras that are in the range of several thousand dollars, and they are awesome, but i wasn't willing to drop that much money it it. This one is pretty sweet for 500 (just the thermal camera and the monitor) or 700 for the full 4 camera (thermal, front, rear and interior) system with the monitor.

I've always thought something like this that could tie in to a HUD to highlight hazards on the windshield would be cool. But I'm going to look into the system you have because deer and elk are a constant hazard on my commute

I remember 5-10 years ago there was a Mercedes or Cadillac that did have the thermal image in the HUD and it was freaking awesome looking... i am amazed that hasn't become a more common thing.

Nice! This seems like a budget version of the FLIR PathfinderIR used by firefighters.

Always wanted this but could never justify the price - cuts through smoke like it isn’t there
