Borehole Camera Spotlight: The Well-Vu 500FE Fisheye Camera

The right equipment makes all the difference in groundwater monitoring, downhole surveys, or well inspections. For professionals who demand clarity, reliability, and functionality in the field, the Well-Vu 500FE Fisheye Camera offers a complete turnkey solution for downhole video inspections in wells as small as 1½” in diameter.

180° Side-and-Down View: Clarity Where It Counts

At the heart of the system is Well-Vu’s detachable fisheye lens camera, which delivers a sweeping 180° side and down view, doubling the coverage of standard lenses. With 550 lines of sharp resolution, it captures detailed visuals crucial for identifying casing damage, obstructions, or changes in water clarity. Factory-tested for 1000 feet of submergence and housed in a shock-resistant stainless steel body, the 500FE is built for rigorous field conditions.

Manual Rewind + GPS Data Logging

Designed for efficient on-site use, the system includes:

• 500 ft. of Kevlar-reinforced cable on a manual rewind spool

• On-screen depth display in feet/meters (“Top of Casing Zero”)

• Integrated GPS data port for logging location, time, and date (GPS unit not included)

The casing clamp/pulley assembly helps center the cable for smooth operation during vertical inspections, ensuring consistent footage and minimizing friction at the wellhead.

Rugged Digital Video Command Console

• 15” LCD monitor for real-time viewing

• DVR recording to SDHC chip

• Built-in microphone for narrated inspections

• On-screen text entry via keypad for labeling footage in real time

• Secure, waterproof case for transport and protection

This field-ready setup is ideal for contractors, hydrogeologists, engineers, and environmental consultants who require high-quality visuals and data traceability for documentation or reporting.
