Bering Optics Super Hogster A3 vs iRayUSA RICO Micro V2 RL25
The Super Hogster A3 runs a 384×288 core at 12 µm behind a 35 mm lens; the RICO Micro V2 RL25 runs 384×288 at 12 µm behind 25 mm. On the Johnson yardstick they detect a person at 729 m and 521 m and recognize one at 182 m and 130 m; the boxes say 1,000 m and 1,260 m. The RICO Micro V2 RL25 is lighter by 5.7 oz. Approximate prices are ~$3,095 and ~$3,749.

Estimated from pixel pitch and lens focal length using the Johnson criteria (2, 8 and 13 pixels across a 0.5 m human critical dimension), clear air, 50 % probability. A model of the optics, not a measurement — real range depends on temperature contrast, humidity and the animal.
