DW-1500 & 2000 Portable Camera System
At Laval Underground Surveys we have been the lead innovators in the water well and borehole inspection camera industry for more than 70 years. Our spirit of innovation continues with the release of the DW-1500 & 2000 portable camera systems.
Overview
Designed to reach depths of either 1,500 ft. (457 m) or 2,000 ft. (610 m), the DW-1500/2000 are fully compatible with our existing R-Cam portfolio of products. The DW-1500/2000 both feature an adjustable level wind system to ensure your cable remains untangled. Pairing the DW-1500/2000 with our industry leading R-CAM camera ensures an unprecedented level of visual clarity in either side view or downhole view modes while the included R-CAM controller provides camera control and recording functionality in a self-contained, splash proof enclosure.
The Laval Underground Surveys DW-1500 and 2000 provide unmatched performance and versatility at an affordable price.

What Customers Say
The camera is excellent and it makes a night and day difference in our business.

I used to borrow a friendly competitor’s camera. He had a small one with a hand reel and a tripod made of PVC. It worked for me at times, but the R-cam 1000 is heads and shoulders above that.

I hoped we would use our new R-CAM 1000 at least 1 time per month... but we're averaging closer to 10. Plus, I don't have to subcontract the work out to my competition anymore, and I'm picking up a bunch of additional well rehab work.

Frequently Asked Questions
The downhole facing SC-166 is suitable for boreholes up to 10 inches in diameter. The R-CAM dual view camera can view boreholes up to 16 inches in diameter. The DC5150 is suitable for borehole diameters up to 30 inches in diameter. Please note, visibility downhole will be impacted by the clarity of the fluid and the available light.
Every camera system will eventually require a repair to the cable head, the point at which the cable and camera physically connect. Over time, the internal connections within the cable head can be strained to the point where they disconnect and cause interference or a complete loss of the video signal. To expedite the repair process, we have cable head repair kits available for both portable systems and large vehicle-based systems.
Conducting surveys with the included centralizers and available lens shield accessory is the best way to ensure that the camera head remains protected downhole. When not in use, store the camera head in an area where it will be safe from unintentional drops or damage. If your camera system is damaged, we offer full repair services at our headquarters in Fresno, California.
