Inspection Cameras for HVAC Technicians
See what others miss. Professional-grade inspection cameras—also called borescopes or endoscopes—let you look inside ducts, drains, coils and wall cavities without cutting or tearing things apart.
Chasing a rooftop leak? Unblocking a condensate line? Checking wiring behind a wall? The right camera saves hours on site. These units are built for Australian conditions and work with iOS, Android or a built-in screen.
Fast Guide: Which Camera for Which Job
| Job type | Best camera | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Inside ductwork or flex runs | Flexible snake camera | Curves around bends and tight spaces |
| Coils or fixed equipment | Semi-rigid probe | Holds its shape, easy to aim |
| Remote viewing or reporting | Wi-Fi enabled model | Streams video to your phone or tablet |
| Simple checks or a backup tool | USB / plug-in endoscope | Quick, light and cost-effective |

Common Questions
Can I get around tight bends?
Yes. Flexible cameras under 8 mm can make most turns in walls and ducts.
Will Wi-Fi models drop out in buildings?
They work well, but a built-in screen is usually more stable in heavy commercial sites.
Are they safe near refrigerants?
Yes. The probe doesn’t contact refrigerant directly and is fine around R32, R410A and similar gases.
What image resolution is best?
1080p gives better detail for reports and client sign-off.
Related Tools
When you’re pulling down a system, pair your borescope with a quality vacuum pump for a clean, dry circuit. For suspected leaks, add an electronic leak detector to confirm the fault. If you prefer app logging on site, check our Bluetooth smart tools to capture photos and notes with your readings.
