The new side view iRis DVR XA Video borescope will have the same high quality image, light output and advanced features as the previous version with the benefit of an interchangeable side view tip adapter.

The side view capability offers yet another advantage over similarly priced video borescopes.  The 6mm iRis DVR XA video borescope system is compact and hand held with video & image recording, text, 4-Way articulation, large 5" LCD, rechargeable 6-hour battery and comparison measurement. Available in 6mm diameter and Lengths from 1.5 to 7.5m. Perfect for a variety of industrial and aerospace related video borescope inspections.

Features and Benefits of the iRis DVR XA Video borescope 

• Interchangeable Side View Tip Adapter: The iRis DVR XA Video borescope offers an interchangeable forward and side view tip adapter. This increase the video borescope's ability to inspect orbital weld, turbines, around tight passages and more.

• 5.0“ (12.7cm) Display: The large integrated display on the iRis DVR XA Video borescope system provides superior image resolution versus other video borescope’s tiny 3.0” displays. The large and razor-sharp images on the DVR XA Video Borescope

• 6 Hour Operation Time: The iRis DVR XA Videoscope includes a rechargeable high-capacity battery that extends uninterrupted operation time up to 6 hours. This is 3 times longer that comparable video borescopes and video borescopes, allowing you to complete your inspection with time to spare.

• 4-Way Articulation: Users can easily steer the iRis DVR XA Video borescope in all directions with deflections as high as 160°.  Other comparable systems fall flat with weak 90° deflections. The iRis DVR XA Video borescope achieves precise tip positioning and can see in areas other video borescopes cannot.

• Large Digital Storage Capacity: The iRis DVR XA Video borescope can record as much as 32 hours of video and thousands of digital images. Other video borescope systems will only record one hour of video, hardly enough to complete most inspections.

• Video Borescope Measurement: The iRis DVR XA Video borescope uses the comparative measurement method to determine the size of a damaged spot. This is the only video borescope in its range to offer any sort of measurement feature.

• Multilayered Tungsten Braid: The iRis DVR XA Video borescope has a flexible working length that is constructed from high strength tungsten. Comparable video borescopes offer stainless steel or PVC. Tungsten resists 5 times the abrasion stainless steel does and makes a tougher, longer lasting video borescope.

• Text Annotation: The iRis DVR X Video borescope is the only video borescope in its class that offers text annotation. Information can be directly written on the inspection image for later review and reporting.

We are frequently asked what is different about the iRis DVR 5 and iRis DVR X videoscope. They both look identical, have the same controls and digital features and this maybe confusing when trying to compare the two products. Both videoscopes are excellent video borescope tools and and do have some important difference that need to be understood.

The iRis DVR 5 utilizes a CCD imager and the iRis DVR X a CMOS imager. What this means is that the iRis DVR 5 Videoscope is capable of higher resolution images with better color reproduction. The iRis DVR 5 Videoscope also offers interchangeable forward and side view tip objectives. The iRis DVR X videoscope is a dedicated forward view video borescope.

Both video borescopes have 5 inch LCDs, however, the iRis DVR X needs be zoomed in to have the image display on the full screen. When used at normal resolution the iRis DVR X Videoscope only uses 3.5 inches of the LCD.

The iRis DVR 5 Videoscope is also offered in more diameters. Currently, there is a 4, 6 and 8mm version available. The iris DVR X is only available in 4 and 6mm diameters. The iRis DVR 5 Videoscope is capable of withstanding temperatures of 284°F/140°C for brief periods of time. The iRis DVR X is limited 178°F/80°C.

The iris DVR 5 is a superior video borescope when compared to the iRis DVR X, However, it is also more expensive. Consider what your true needs are. If you do not need side view  tip adapters for your particular application, chances are that the iRis DVR X is the best performing and value video borescope.

The iRis DVR X video borescope review proves that it is the best in its class. When compared to other video borescopes in it's price range the iRis DVR X videoscope or video borescope   out performs the competition on every level. The iRis DVR X offers a superior image, brighter illumination, industrial design, more options and advanced digital features.

Some of the Advantages of the iRis DVR X Video Borescope Review:

The iRis DVR X videoscope is available in lengths up to 7.5m (24.6 Ft.) while the VJ borescope and Hawkeye V2 are only available in shorter lengths.

The VJ borescope and Hawkeye V2 both have plastic housings and are not nearly as durable as the metal hand piece of the industrial iRis DVR X videoscope.

The iRis DVR X is water proof and IP 53 rated. Neither the VJ or the Hawkeye V2 have any protection rating and can not be used in wet environments.

The iRis DVR X is the only video borescope in its class that offers on screen text annotation.

The iRis DVR X videoscope or video borescope offers built in comparison measurement...nothing else in this price range offers any sort of measurement capability.

The iRis DVR X videoscope offers enhanced 3.5X digital zoom for greater detail of the inspection area.

A large 5.0 inch LCD makes the iRis DVR X easy to use and is vastly superior when compared to small 3.5" LCD displays.

The iRis DVR X offers vastly superior digital storage over both the VJ Advance Borescope and the Hawkeye V2. The iRis DVR X can hold 32 GB SD card and save 16,000 images or 32 hours of video. The VJ and V2 video borescopes can only store a fraction of this on tiny 2GB SD cards.

The iRis DVR X videoscope offers 6 hours of battery life. The VJ Advance video borescope and Hawkeye V2 borescope only offer 45 or 90 minutes...hardly enough life to ensure completion of your inspection.

The features and advantages of the iRis DVR X video borescope are overwhelming when a borescope review is conducted against the competition. Continue reading →
