What makes an inspection camera suitable for a hazardous environment?
It’s not just image quality, durability, or how far the camera can reach.
At refineries, chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and other sites where flammable gases or vapours may be present, the inspection equipment itself has to be appropriate for the operating environment.
The next question is access.

For close-range inspection inside machinery and vessels, the VIDEOSCOPE XT provides an explosion-proof borescope option.
For pipelines from 2 to 24 inches, the SoloPRO+ ExZ1 ATEX Zone 1 push camera provides up to 330 ft (100 m) of working length.
For larger, longer pipelines, the Proteus ExZ1 robotic crawler enables operators to remotely inspect areas where a push camera may not be practical.
The right solution depends on the hazardous-area requirements, the asset, the access point, the pipe size, and the inspection distance.

You found a defect inside a turbine, gearbox, pipe or heat exchanger. Now, how big is it?

The FIBERSCOPE iX3D 3D measurement video borescope lets inspectors move from finding an internal indication to measuring and verifying it without dismantling the component.

Its stereo cameras generate 3D surface data, while six measurement methods help evaluate distance, height, depth and area.

But the useful part isn't just getting a number.

With iX3D, you can rotate and zoom a 360° 3D model to check the position of measurement points. A color-coded depth map helps visualize surface geometry, and the software identifies areas where there isn't enough 3D data for measurement.

For different access conditions, iX3D offers:

✓ 0° forward-view and 90° side-view stereo probes
✓ 4 mm and 6 mm probe diameters
✓ Four-way articulation
✓ Working lengths from 1.5 to 7.5 m
✓ Six measurement methods
✓ Measurement results in less than one minute
✓ Rugged 10.1-inch touchscreen tablet for field use

iX3D is designed for demanding inspections of aircraft engines and turbines, helicopter gearboxes, pipelines, heat exchangers, wind and gas turbines, power-generation equipment and production facilities.

For those doing RVI/NDT work: how do you handle measurement after finding an internal defect? 🔎

That’s the problem the FIBERSCOPE iX3D was designed to address.
It combines video borescope inspection with stereo-based 2D and 3D measurement, so an inspector can locate a defect and then measure its length, depth, height, distance or area without dismantling the component.

One feature we find particularly useful is measurement verification. iX3D creates a 360° 3D model showing the surface and measurement points. You can rotate and zoom the model to check where the points were placed. A color depth map helps visualize surface geometry, while areas without enough 3D data for measurement are marked in red.
There are six measurement methods, including Point to Point, Point to Line, Point to Plane, Multipoint, Max Point to Line and Plane.
The system also has interchangeable 0° and 90° stereo probes, 4 mm and 6 mm diameter options, four-way articulation, and working lengths up to 7.5 m.
According to the iX3D documentation, a measurement can be obtained in less than one minute.

Both cables are 5,5 mm thick. So why does the professional system cost more?
Because cable diameter is only one specification—and often not the most important one.
Inside an actual drain line, the push cable must balance flexibility with control. It may need to navigate P-traps, back-to-back 90° bends, and other challenging transitions without prematurely ending the inspection.
This comparison shows how two cables of the same diameter can behave very differently because of their construction.

An entry-grade system may cost less upfront. But for a working technician, the more useful comparison includes:
• The applications the cable can access
• Its behaviour through tight bends
• Operator control during the inspection
• The potential cost of interrupted work or cable replacement
The right equipment is not necessarily the option with the lowest purchase price. It is the system that fits the jobs your team is expected to complete.

Finding a problem inside a deep well is helpful, but recording where it appears makes your inspection more useful.
FIBERSCOPE has introduced an optional tripod-mounted meter counter for STRAHL well-camera inspections, including the STRAHL HDL deep-well and borehole camera.
The tripod sits above the well opening, providing a steady platform for feeding and measuring the cable. As the camera cable moves through, the counter tracks how much has been used so you can match your images or video with a depth reference.
The system divides the work into four clear functions:
• The motorized winch manages cable deployment and retrieval
• The tripod guides the cable into the well
• The counter provides a deployed-length reference
• The recorded footage documents what was observed at that depth
This accessory is especially helpful if you cannot place the reel above the casing, if space is tight, or if you need to record several findings at different depths.
For shallow inspections with direct reel alignment, manual guidance, and the winch alone may be sufficient. Note: The counter only gives a cable-depth reference, not a surveyed elevation or precise defect measurement. Operators should set the starting point and note any difference from the top of the casing.

Need inspection equipment for one job—but not ready to spend thousands on a system you may rarely use again?
Renting can be the more practical option.

FIBERSCOPE rental equipment can be shipped directly to your office or job site. Unpack it, prepare the system, and complete the inspection without committing your budget to a permanent purchase.
Rental also gives your team a chance to:
🔧 Test the equipment on a real application
🔍 Compare probes, features, and image quality
⚙️ Evaluate handling and access in actual working conditions
✅ Make a more informed purchasing decision
If the system becomes useful for ongoing work, available trial and rent-to-own options may allow part of the rental cost to be applied toward its purchase.

One inspection should not force a rushed decision on equipment. Explore the available rental options at Fiberscope.net. To discuss requirements or request a quote, contact Fiberscope at 1-877-613-2210 or visit our website.

You found a blockage on the screen. Now comes the harder question: Is it 20 feet away—or 100?

Without a distance reference, crews may know that a problem exists but still lack the information needed to plan the next move. Do you think the line should be cleaned? Do you know if it requires a crawler inspection? Where should the next crew concentrate its work?

The CYCLOPS TZ maintenance hole zoom camera now comes with a preinstalled laser rangefinder to help answer that question.
From the access point, operators can:
🔍 Inspect distant conditions with 30× optical zoom
📏 Obtain a distance reference to the observed target
↕️ Adjust the camera angle using motorized tilt
🎥 Record Full HD video and still images
📱 Control the inspection through a wireless tablet

The system is designed for 4- to 80-inch pipes and viewing distances up to 196 feet, subject to pipe and visibility conditions.

Instead of deploying more equipment before the problem is understood, crews can screen the mainline first and make a better-informed decision about cleaning, crawler CCTV inspection or further assessment.

Have equipment issues or a damaged tether ever required a second site visit for a single pipe inspection?🛠️

Additional crew time, renewed site access, and remobilization can quickly exceed the original repair cost. To address this, we have introduced several practical updates to the TROGLOTREK sewer crawler system.

Key updates include:
🛡️ Three-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the manufacturer’s terms.
🔧 A rugged mechanical upgrade designed to improve durability during transport, setup, and regular field operation.
TROGLOTREK continues to support efficient, single-operator inspections:
✅ Battery-powered operation—no external generator required
✅ 984 ft (300 m) tether reel
✅ Manual or powered cable retrieval
✅ IP68-rated crawler and camera head
✅ IP67-rated control unit
✅ Configurations for pipes from 4 to 39 in., or up to 80 in. with the optional Large Wheel Conversion Kit

An optional Cable Roller is available separately and is not included with the standard system. The articulated stainless-steel assembly flexes up to 90 degrees, guiding the tether over rough concrete, exposed metal, and uneven manhole rims. This reduces rubbing, chafing, and concentrated wear on the cable at the access point. 🔄

Before selecting a configuration, please consider the following:
1️⃣ How frequently will the full cable length be deployed
2️⃣ Whether the access point presents an abrasion risk
3️⃣ Which wheel, camera, and lighting setup best matches the pipe

What typically causes more downtime in your inspections: cable handling, access conditions, or equipment setup?
