SeeSnake APX Camera Reels
APX Features
SeeSnake APX camera reels offer enhanced viewing with a TruSense® camera and Auto Image Flip.
Auto Image Flip: When connected to a SeeSnake CSx series device, the APX reel flips your onscreen image as the camera rotates through the pipe, ensuring your image remains oriented upright. An on-screen icon indicates the vertical orientation with respect to the image.
Additional TruSense-Enabled Features:
- TiltSense™ – The TiltSense inclinometer measures the camera’s degree of tilt and displays it on the monitor, giving you a useful indicator of the camera’s angle as it lays inside the pipe.
- HDR Image Sensor — The high dynamic range (HDR) image sensor expands the camera’s dynamic range, allowing a greater ratio of bright and dark areas to be displayed in the same image at the same time without reducing visibility. The result is superior clarity and detail, allowing you to quickly and easily identify problem areas.
