The system is equipped with a 1.75-inch diameter camera that can effectively operate in boreholes from 2 to 16 inches in diameter. Some features of the dual-view camera are low-light sensitivity; manual focus; iris adjustment; 480 TVL lines resolution; an 86-degree, wide-angle, downhole view; and a 360-degree, continuous-scanning side view.
Either a 12 VDC rechargeable battery, 120 VAC/60 Hz or 240 VAC/50 Hz provides power to the system, all of which, including control unit, is mounted on a compact cart. The system also comes equipped with a forward-facing LED array with adjustable intensities. For inspecting boreholes larger than 16 inches in diameter, an optional LED pod is available.
Two models of the inspection system are available: one with 600 feet of Kevlar braided coaxial cable and one with 1,200 feet.
