Aerial Video Systems for Pipeline Inspection

DataToys’ Pipeline Inspection Video Systems are specifically designed for aerial recording during pipeline and powerline inspections. With these systems, you can capture the entire flight in high-definition video, allowing easy identification and marking of problem areas in real time.

Our systems are equipped with GPS data overlay, boosting both productivity and cost efficiency. As part of the DataToys Utility Inspection Kit, we include a one-user license for LineVision Software, which seamlessly synchronizes on-board video with key waypoints and points of interest throughout the flight.

If the pilot spots an issue, such as a pipeline break or a powerline at risk, a simple press of the “waypoint trigger” button marks the exact location while the AirKnight HD system captures everything. It’s that easy.

Best of all, the DataToys Video System typically pays for itself in just a few flights. No more missed footage or risky re-flights due to equipment failure. Our rugged, durable systems are built for harsh environments, saving you time and money while ensuring high-quality inspections on the first attempt.

With DataToys, you can trust that every flight counts. One flight, one video—enhanced efficiency for both pipeline and powerline inspections.
