I believe the Optris camera used in the Lugano report did NOT belong to Rossi and he may or may not use such a camera in his own work. MFMP tried to buy the Lugano Optris camera to use in their follow-up experiments, but could not because the camera was being used in another (non-LENR) experiment by the owners.
We have better reason to believe Rossi uses thermocouples as they are clearly shown in photos of his lab from earlier hotCat experiments.
