How high-resolution are you looking for? Most thermal cameras use relatively low resolution because, well, high-res isn’t usually necessary for what they do (thermal imaging doesn’t provide a lot of detail anyway), and the sensors are a lot more expensive than standard CCD and CMOS visible-light sensors. Pretty much all thermal cameras you’ll find now are network cameras so they can be controlled from any computer.
Axis makes a series of thermal network cameras, both monochrome and color, but the highest resolution they have is VGA (640 x 480).
We have a wider range of thermal network cameras, but most of those also max out at VGA resolution.
Mobotix makes a model that combines a 5MP optical camera and 336 x 252 pixel thermal imager in one housing – again, the thermal component is very low resolution.
The Advanced Thermal System is a megapixel thermal camera… from what I can find, you’re looking at about $80,000 for the camera alone… pushing $125,000 when you factor in lenses, software, etc.
