SnakeEye III Video Inspection Camera
14 Years and Still a Popular Choice!
The long established SnakeEye video inspection camera is now in its 14th year of production and is still a popular choice amongst a vast number of industries. The latest model, the SnakeEye III, has become a market leader due to its lightweight, modular and portable design that allows the user’s “eyes to travel where they physically can’t”.
Combining a high resolution removable CCD colour camera head and separate handheld TFT-LCD display technology the SnakeEye delivers and records crystal clear images and full colour video.
SnakeEye III Applications
The camera can be used within a multitude of industries including Search & Rescue, Industrial, Mechanics, Aviation, Buildings, Pest Control and Public Safety. It can be easily configured to inspect behind walls, inside ceilings, in and around pipes and machinery, under vehicles, inside engines and tanks, behind computer equipment and underneath automobile dashboards – the possibilities are simply endless!
SnakeEye III Features
The versatile camera design features an interchangeable colour camera head that can be attached to a 50cm rigid wand or a finger attachment and furthermore, onto 30 & 100ft extendable soft coaxial cables and 14 & 25ft extendable poles.
The lightweight, compact display unit weighs less than 2 lbs and houses a high resolution (640 x 480) full color 5” TFT-LCD display and rechargeable battery pack. The display screen has a built in protective plastic cover and can be electronically rotated to maintain proper image orientation for the viewer. All of the function control buttons are featured on the display unit including the Power & Camera Head Light On/Off buttons for operating the brightness adjustment for low light or bright light conditions, allowing easy one-handed operation. The unit displays your saved images as still photos into a thumbnail library on a standard removable SD card with date and time stamp information for each photo or video captured.
Designed to function in harsh industrial environments, the SnakeEye III Video Probe is constructed of high impact, heavy duty plastic and has its own waterproofing kit allowing it to withstand shock & vibration and making it water, dust and dirt proof so it can be used where grease and non-solvent based chemicals are present. Required outdoor accessories include the display shield and neck strap with other optional accessories available.
Want to hear what our customers think about the SnakeEye III?
Bernie Ryan, Senior Engineering Specialist with Air Services Australia shares his experiences with using the
SnakeEye video probe.
What made you choose to purchase the SnakeEye III? What were the specific features you liked?
Its rugged construction with the added feature of being IP68 compliant. It was also the 6m pole accessory that made it a better all round application.
How has the product performed compared to your expectations?
The product has performed to our expectations; we have used it to identify obstructions in underground communications conduits (using the 30m extension lead) and to inspect block work to ascertain whether or not the contractor core filled as per specification. It has also been used to inspect FCU (Fan Cooler Unit) ducting to assess condition without exposing staff to an OH&S risk.
Would you recommend the SnakeEye III to other users in your industry?
Definitely

Searchcam 3000 Search & Rescue Camera System
Designed with Rescue Teams Input
Search and rescue teams around the globe need reliable, safe and rugged communications equipment when faced with complex emergency situations. Knowing the importance of meeting rescuers needs, CON-SPACE Communications have designed the Searchcam systems using input from rescue teams from around the world. Rescue workers communicated with CON-SPACE that they needed a camera that was durable, reliable, provided an excellent picture, has a good light source, and is very mobile, versatile and easy-to-use. With this in mind and building on the already successful Searchcam 2000 search system, the NEW Searchcam 3000 features all of these things and more!
"We really wanted to get this camera right. Money is real hard to come by for search rescue teams.
We wanted to build something that’s not just a one-trick pony. This camera provides value."
President of CON-SPACE Communications, Andy Ibbetson
Searchcam 3000 Features
The Searchcam 3000 allows rescuers to locate victims trapped in collapsed buildings. The communications system features an interchangeable, waterproof, 120 degree motorised articulating camera head that can be swapped on the fly depending on what conditions rescuers are confronted with. The camera can be expanded from 14 inches to 19 feet, eliminating the need to carry multiple cameras. Rescuers can also record video and capture still images of the search site which can later be used for post-incident evaluation or training purposes.
This search and rescue system undoubtedly sets a whole new standard for technical search and rescue globally, eliminating redundant equipment and giving rescue workers everything they need!
Searchcam 3000 in Action
Richard Gorey, Station Officer from Queensland Fire & Rescue talks about what he likes about the Searchcam systems and his experience using them.
"As a Rescue Technician with the QFRS for over 10 years, it is my experience that the Searchcam 2000 and 3000 are the best cameras for void search, and rescue work. Whilst other cameras have their role, the Searchcam 2000 and 3000 cameras package the greatest amount of useable features into one professionally built, rugged unit.

Our 2000 and 3000's have been deployed with our INSARAG Qualified Urban Search and Rescue Teams to Samoa, Indonesia, New Zealand, within Australia and on every Category 2 USAR course we run. It has also been my personal experience that Adam and the team at Inline have provided us with dedicated, prompt and professional after sales service and back up."
