The sensor and lens is probably the weak point, easily beaten by mid-range 2012 pocket cameras (almost: those have 12 MP and 5x optical zoom but no IR-cut solenoid). However, there’s a “Long Range” model too, presumably with a better camera, but nobody has disassembled and documented that AFAIK.
Crazy how much is in and its still as inaccurate as a raspberry pi with tensor hardware.
