Air-Care Apollo Air Duct Video Inspection Camera
Selling a duct cleaning job gets easier when the homeowner can see what you see. The Apollo Air Duct Video Inspection Camera puts a live picture of the duct interior on a tablet screen, turning a diagnosis into something visible rather than something described. Contractors tend to use it two ways. Before the work starts, it locates debris loads and disconnected or damaged sections that a flashlight at the register will never reveal. After the work is done, the same footage becomes the proof of completion attached to the invoice. Key Features and Benefits of the Air-Care Apollo Air Duct Video Inspection Camera Portable Viewing Screen: The 10.1-Inch tablet screen shows real-time, full-color footage, so debris loads and duct damage can be assessed on the spot. Extra Long Cable: The 33-foot (10-meter) insertion cable feeds deep into trunk lines and branch runs without repositioning the unit. Ten Extension Rods: Ten ABS plastic extension rods, each 2.5 feet long, add up to 25 feet of rigid push for straight runs. Air-Care Application: The proprietary Air-Care software handles capture and playback, keeping recordings organized for reports and customer walkthroughs. LED Lighting: Onboard LED lighting illuminates unlit duct interiors so the picture stays usable in dark, dust-heavy conditions. Video Controls: Real-time granular video controls let you correct the picture mid-inspection instead of pulling the camera and running it again. All-In-One Kit: The Air-Care Apollo includes the camera, screen, and video recorder, so nothing else has to be sourced before the first job. How Deep Can the Apollo Reach? Reach comes from two separate parts: a flexible insertion cable and a rigid extension rod. The 33-foot insertion cable gives the camera exceptional range and flexibility, while the extension rod set allows you to only connect the number of rods a given run needs, from a single 2.5-foot section for a register drop up to the full 25-foot length. Because the rods break down individually, the kit still packs flat for transport, and adding or removing a section mid-inspection takes seconds. Sylvane's Expert Take This is a tool for HVAC and duct cleaning contractors who need to show, rather than just tell, homeowners what is happening with their ducting system. It performs best in residential and light commercial ductwork accessed through registers and service panels. The one thing to know before buying is that the Apollo is tablet-based, so recording and playback both happen on the unit itself, with no laptop or separate monitor needed to complete the job.
