1.1 Overview

Thank you for selecting the HDV700 High Definition VideoScope kit. The kit is
a rugged, splash proof (IP54 display unit) and waterproof (IP67 probe) video
inspection system that includes the VideoScope, a detachable camera probe,
and accessories.

The display unit works with a variety of camera probes as listed in Sections

1.3 and 1.4 below. The probes are especially designed to perform well in diffi­cult to reach locations and areas unsafe to approach. The probes provide
sharp video and still images and can be safely submerged in fluids, as speci­fied in the separate instructions provided with each probe.

Check for firmware updates before putting this instrument in operation to en­sure full compatibility between the VideoScope and the probe. See Section

10.

The HDV700 is battery operated and its internal lithium battery can be
charged by connecting the HDV700 to an AC source using the supplied USB
AC adaptor/charger (see Section 6).

Still images and videos are stored on the supplied micro SD card, inserted in
the HDV700 right side compartment. Stored media can be downloaded to a
PC using the USB-C port (see Sections 8 and 9).

1.2 Product Features

• Large display monitor shows camera images, touch-screen icons, settings
menu, and other information.

• Image/video recording with micro SD card storage.

• PC interface for downloading images/video and updating firmware.

• Micro HDMI port for viewing images on an external monitor.

• Split screen shows forward/side view images simultaneously when using a
dual camera or a mirror accessory.

• Split-screen also compares live images with stored images.

• Internal rechargeable lithium battery runs 6 hours from a full charge.

PC Interface

9.1 PC Interface Overview

The PC interface utility allows you to download images and video to your PC.
The PC interface also allows you to upgrade the HDV700 firmware, see Sec­tion 10.

When connected to a PC, the HDV700 also charges its battery. For quicker
charging, connect the HDV700 to an AC power source using the supplied AC
adaptor and USB cable, see Section 6.

9.2 Connecting to a PC

The HDV700 is supplied with a USB-C to USB-A cable, connect the USB-C
end of the cable to the USB port in the HDV700 right side compartment and
the other end to the PC USB-A port. Depending on the type of USB port on
your PC, you may need to use a USB adaptor to connect correctly.

9.3 Accessing the HDV700 Directory on the PC

When successfully connected, the PC will show the HDV700 as an external
drive. Open the drive to see its root directory which contains the firmware file
and a set of folders. The Media folder is where images and videos, captured
by the HDV700 , are stored. In addition, the user may create custom folders to
organize images and video as explained in Sections 7 and 8. There may be
other folders present that are for system use only.

You can then move images and video from your media folders onto your PC
hard drive.

The HDV700 root directory is where you place firmware update files. See Sec­tion 10 for firmware upgrade details.
