Explore Confined Spaces with Precision Using Video Inspection Scopes
Our advanced video inspection scopes deliver real-time imaging and visual access to hardto-reach areas across industrial environments.
Overview
Video inspection scopes offer real-time imaging solutions for examining hard-to-access, confined, or obstructed environments in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. These tools use high-resolution cameras attached to flexible or semi-rigid probes, allowing visual inspections within machinery, pipelines, cavities, and other enclosed systems—without requiring full disassembly or invasive methods.
Their integration with digital screens, storage solutions, and wireless transmission makes them ideal for inspections, documentation, and diagnostics.
Optical Visual Tech delivers a diverse range of video inspection scopes designed to meet the rigorous demands of professionals across North America. We serve as a B2B provider dedicated to enabling organizations with innovative optical technologies, including compact handheld units, articulating scopes, and modular systems. With our strong focus on product reliability and customer support, Optical Visual Tech helps clients optimize maintenance operations and improve safety outcomes.

Case Studies
Industrial Maintenance – U.S. Automotive Manufacturer (Michigan)
A leading vehicle assembly plant in Michigan deployed our video inspection scopes to perform real-time inspections on conveyor systems and engine blocks. The ability to detect early signs of misalignment and residue buildup improved maintenance turnaround by 34%, reducing system downtime and increasing plant throughput.
Pipeline Inspection – U.S. Natural Gas Utility (Texas)
An energy utility used articulating video scopes from GAO Tek Inc. for underground gas line inspections. The deployment helped detect microfractures without excavating. Paired with GAO RFID tools, the team mapped defects across 12 miles of infrastructure within a week.
Aviation Maintenance – Canadian Aircraft Refurbishment Center (Ontario)
In Ontario, a commercial aviation service center integrated video inspection scopes into their MRO workflow. These tools helped monitor turbine blade conditions and detect foreign object damage (FOD), reducing inspection time by 50% and significantly improving safety compliance.
