New Teledyne Flir videoscopes for hard-to-reach places

Teledyne Flir has announced its latest and most powerful Extech videoscope series, the Extech HDV700. The Extech HDV700 high-definition videoscope brings to market the most versatile device in its class to help automotive, building inspection, plumbing, manufacturing and HVAC workers with unmatched camera probe options for inspecting hard-to-reach areas to quickly find problems and begin repairs. With a choice of eight easily maneuverable, narrow and waterproof (IP67) probes, professionals can inspect machinery, pipes, air ducts and more without expensive and time-consuming disassembly, thanks to multiple fixed and swivel probe options. "In all condition monitoring applications, technicians need to perform inspections in hard-to-reach and often hazardous areas, whether it's a vehicle, a building facade or a piping system," said Rob Milner, business development director at Teledyne Flir. "With the new Extech HDV700, professionals have access to videoscope kits with clearer, brighter and better image quality thanks to the lens' wide field of view (FOV). Inspections are now faster, safer and more cost-effective."

Weighing only 705 g, the HDV700 enables convenient, one-handed inspection via the capacitive color touchscreen, which also works with gloves. Image quality also contributes to inspection efficiency - the high-resolution 1280 ×720 probe option combined with the wide field-of-view lens enables effective inspection in the most difficult locations. Live on-screen comparison further facilitates inspection and makes checking reference images quick and easy. When an inspector wonders whether or not a borehole is clean compared to their reference image, there is no longer any doubt with the split screen function. Live footage can also be Advertisement on a separate device for an additional inspector via the HDMI video output. The HDV700 also has multiple data recording options that make it easy to report anywhere by transferring images and video to another device. Each kit includes an HDV700 videoscope monitor, camera probe (model depends on kit ordered), 32GB micro SD card, USB A to USB C cable, HDMI type A to type D cable, lithium-ion battery (built-in), and universal adapter. Probe options include general purpose and dual-view inspection, two-way 180° articulation, four-way 110° articulation, and pipe inspection options.
