Hi Ethan and John,
I hope you don't mind me telling Rogier about our thermography solution from Pelco with Milestone Integration.
Hi Rogier,
I am the thermography engineering lead from Pelco. I was very excited to see your post because we have just launched our thermography camera products that can read temperature as accurate as FLIR's A310. In addition to our temperature accuracy, we offer several key benefits, number 1 is integration of RTSP steam with temperature overlay, alarm and data trending through a new Milestone plug-in that was released specifically for Pelco thermography cameras integration. We use a separate temperature data stream that goes through the milestone plug in to allow for storing and displaying temperature information without corrupting the video by embedding the information. This allows us to treat the temperature data separately in Milestone so temperature information can be turned on or off in both liveview and recorded stream. The temperature alarms are also stored in alarm manager and can be retrieved the same way as from a security camera alarms. It is a fully integrated solution in Milestone. In addition, our thermography camera is completely IP which means you can configure the camera and read temperature data without additional software installation. It can be done by any web browser. Also, we have developed an IP weather station as an accessary that can communicate to our camera to update ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity and rain in order to maintain temperature accuracy automatically in any ambient conditions.
I am just on my way back from the Netherlands visiting some very happy customers with our thermography camera solution. The model numbers of our thermography camera are TM314, TM335, TM350. It is 384x288 resolution with 14mm, 35mm and 50mm respectively. In the near future, we will offer the PanTilt version that can have monitoring zones following different preset positions.

Here is a screen shot of the integration with Milestone
The product spec is not on our website (www.pelco.com) yet. This is currently a SMR product but we are ready to take order and have already shipped cameras to our customers.
