Where would DVTel Thermal cameras (DRS) fall in compared to FLIR's original line of thermal?

This smells like the beginning of the end for DVTel. FLIR is a known brand with a leading reputation for thermal. I know DVTel has been around a long time but I can't see a lot of investment going to this product line to push it up the list of top VMS platforms. Is there something special about DVTel that I've been missing out on? If it does not float on it it's own, why keep it? Like you suggest, Brian, maybe they are going to see if they can show some valuation on it to recover some cost of the acquisition by spinning it off. Lights out and no night vision for DVTel?

I am very curious on the production costs for the FLIR thermal imagers and how much FLIR is trying to protect the margins on the thatside. All of their acquisitions would make sense if they could push a decent resolution thermal sensor as a value add / distinguishing feature or stand alone product. I would certainly pay a premium for a camera and software that had a combined video output + thermal imager and for a VMS that could combine the two.
The Lorex acquisition I just don't understand. Why not take that money and make their FLIR FX line competitive.
