minus-squareVitoRobles@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·18 days agoAh so each camera costs about $3000 huh? I wonder how much people will buy it for on the streets …
minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·18 days agoWhile they cost that much, they are worth probably way less.
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·18 days agoBasically worth the cost if a RaspberryPi with camera and a couple 18650 batteries.
minus-squareVitoRobles@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·17 days agoFunny enough - raspberry pi prices have jumped up dramatically! So win win!
minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days agoWell if there actually was an RPi in those boxes, they would make even more interesting targets.

It’s a similar SoM.
How much ram they got?
Minimal. I’d be surprised if it’s more than 1gb and it’s definitely soldered to a main board, not a discrete module.
