1 INTRODUCTION
The Apollo Video Inspection System is designed specifically for video viewing and recording of
air ducts, and similar spaces that are not accessible for direct inspection. The Apollo and its
components have many other uses beyond video inspections. The body of this manual only
covers their use in the air duct video inspection environment.
Apollo is the latest development in Air-Care’s video inspection product line. Air-Care continues
to create products that incorporate cutting edge technology.
Apollo offers the best image quality and lighting of any camera on the market. The ultra-wide
angle lens and diffused, bright, white LEDs render a clear, color picture of the interior of the
duct from just below the camera to the top of the duct, as well as a clear view downstream of
the camera.
The insertion rods are 2.5 feet long with threaded ends and the electrical cable is 30 feet long.
It comes with 10 rods for 25 feet of inspection length, with additional rods available. The
camera head is small and streamlined to slide easily into metal, duct board or flex ducts and
can be lowered down vertical runs, as well. Like the insertion rods, the electrical cable can be
extended up to 150 feet with multiple extensions.
The color 720p camera is mounted into a durable, lightweight head that is mounted on a
flexible spring. The 120oviewing angle will give you the ability to photograph and film through
tight bends of the duct and out of corrugations in a flex duct. Simply pushing it forward and
twisting the rods will free it from most obstructions.
Apollo comes with a 10.1” Android tablet for displaying photos and recording. The tablet has
its own internal battery for up to 9 hours of recording and playback and can be used to show
the customer the inspection as it happens or later, via email.
The camera, tablet, extension rods, accessories, cables, and charger fit into a stylish, convenient,
case with internal foam protection. The complete system is lightweight and easy to store and
operate.
2SAFETY, PRECAUTIONS, STORAGE, AND CLEANING
•Read the manual before using the Apollo Video Inspection System.
•Avoid kinking or pulling on camera cable as this will cause irreversible damage.
•Never use the camera and/or cable as an unclogging tool, only to observe the
condition of the duct interior, tool position and the cleaning progress.
•Always return the individual components to their designated storage areas when not
in use.
•Clean the tablet screen with a microfiber cloth. All other pieces of the equipment
should be cleaned with a clean, dry, cloth. Never use solvents or abrasive solutions
