Hi all, i am a disabled pensioner living on a 20 acre plot in darkest Africa. I am in a small cottage several hundred meters from neighbors, who are unlikely to help anyway. My pension is $200 pm, my reward for being stupid enough to be a policeman. I have been flying drones fort several years, after being shot at from 5 meters away by 2 gunmen hiding in the bushes at my feet. My dogs alerted me, but i did not see them till they fired. After dispatching them, I felt sending a drone out at night to investigate would be a good idea. I started with a Bebop 2 Power, then a spark, then a mavic pro, with a lume cube, then a mavic 2 zoom. While they are all ok, night flying remains unproductive due to the darkness out here, especially in the veld. The drone needs to be low for the lights to be effective, which limits view and is very hairy.
I recently noticed that the Enterprise dual is significantly cheaper than the 640 and other night vision models, but still costs around $4000 here. This is difficult on $200/ month. However, with the current modus operandi of shooting homeowners through windows, then breaking in, seeing them before they get close is a slightly better option.
I have seen YouTube footage of the flir on it, and it seems ok. Can people who know about security use comment on whether I should overdraw my card to is limit to purchase one, or will it fall short of expectations. Thanks
