Compact Inspection System Provides High Flexibility

Camera inspection control system from Cobra Technologies

The new camera inspection control system from Cobra Technologies is designed to combine portability with the full functionality of a truck-mounted system. It is compatible with many other manufacturers’ cameras.

“This lightweight unit is a universal controller,” says Alan Grant, CEO. “It can plug into any single- or multi-conductor camera system, giving operators a lot of flexibility.” The 45-pound unit can be installed in a water- and impact-resistant case 22- by 19- by 14-inches deep.

The system includes a solid-state, dual-core computer data logger, CD/DVD writer, crawler control, and pan-tilt-zoom camera control. The unit mounts on vehicles from pickup tucks to ATVs, allowing contractors to reach otherwise inaccessible places.

The data logger’s solid-state componentry has no moving parts, making the unit durable and less prone to hard-drive failures from rough handling. The control system comes with a 10-inch touch screen that is easy to view, even in direct sunlight.

“That solves a major complaint from customers,” Grant says. “There’s little point in inspecting a pipe if you can’t see what you’re doing.”

A double-click of a finger on the screen converts it to video, and another double-click reverts it to the data screen, eliminating the need for two monitors. Standard features include a keyboard and electronic footage display, with a waterproof keyboard optional. The console operates on 110 VAC power.
