InsightGT HD Electric Line

The InsightGT HD Electric Line Camera was designed with geothermal in mind.  InsightGT pairs the image acquisition and telemetry electronics of Insight3 with a downward-looking imager, and repackages them in a purpose-built flasked housing. It differs from other high-temp camera offerings in that it:

Uses current-generation electronics capable of capturing full frame rate HD video

Offers a wide field of view

Has proper lighting for large (24″) geothermal bores

Can operate at 200 ºC for a full 4 hours

InsightGT is able to operate from the vast majority of electric line cable, including high-temp variants.  If the tool is frequently to be used on multi-conductor, a multi-channel telemetry package is available.

Imagery and telemetry data from the tool are transmitted to the top-side receiver in real time.  This data is viewed and stored via a laptop computer, and may be saved to removable media and/or electronically sent from location.  A freely-distributable viewer allows all stakeholders the opportunity to easily browse and interpret well data.

Given geothermal’s smaller market size, these cameras are usually built on a bespoke basis.  As such, customizations such as tailoring the tool to meet a specific run time / dwell time target or adding precision temperature or pressure sensors go with the territory.
