       | Only tangently related(they are both thermal cameras). but it
       | does get into why the frame rate sucks on thermal cameras. it is
       | by marco reps who is pretty legit .

         | There is another reason why (especially cheap/"normal") thermal

         | (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).
