Camera System with Transport Box Simplifies Remote Visual Inspection

The Everest Ca-Zoom HD pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) camera system offers precise, efficient, and secure confined-space inspections for a variety of industries, including oil and gas, power, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage. A 22-kg (48.5-lb), all-in-one wheeled transport box holds all items of the system in one container and makes traveling and setup at the inspection site simple. A backpack option with essential cables is also available and enables hands-free climbing and easier access to inspection spaces. The advanced camera system is equipped with two PTZ camera heads and accompanied by all essential accessories. The handheld control unit provides an intuitive operating system with image capture and laser measurement capabilities, catering to the demands of vessel and tank inspections. The handheld pendant also allows inspectors to move freely during the inspection. The camera offers high-definition images with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, and its light output is composed of four LEDs delivering a brightness of 2980 lumens for visibility in dark environments.
