The Talion XQ35 Pro runs a 384×288 core at 17 µm behind a 35 mm lens; the Storm S3 runs 384×288 at 12 µm behind 35 mm. On the Johnson yardstick they detect a person at 515 m and 729 m and recognize one at 129 m and 182 m; the boxes say 1,350 m and 1,800 m. The Storm S3 is lighter by 12.0 oz. Approximate prices are ~$2,000 and ~$1,499.

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.
