Is there some number or other designation or company name on it?

It would be nice to look the specs up. It will also answer the question if it is to awsome to ship. I'm thinking  astro photography !

This works in the dark? What range?

Yes, it sees heat instead of light so darkness is irrelevant.  It is advertised as being able to spot a deer or person at 4x the distance of a driver using headlamps.  It is quite a narrow FOV so pretty long range, many hundreds of yards.  Here is a (shakey) video taken with this exact model.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l96g7yeT-XM

I've selling a thermal imaging camera for 8BTC.  This unit has been removed from a Cadillac with FLIR option.  Made by raytheon, the same guys that make night vision for military helicopters and tanks.  When supplied with 12vdc it outputs a standard RCA video signal compatible with just about anything.  This thing has a million uses from finding insulation leaks to identifying thermal hotspots in ASIC designs to checking a breaker box for overloaded circuits.  I mostly just play with it while drinking beer.  This probably cant be shipped outside of the USA due to its extreme awesomeness.



My dog Penny is demonstrating it with a few cold beer bottles for contrast.

Edit - I forgot to mention this camera is very popular for ghost hunting.  Not my cup of tea, but whatever.
