EV first gained acclaim for engineering ruggedized cameras for televising extreme sports. In 2004 EV applied this expertise and know-how to develop a system aimed at identifying problems within oil and gas wells in the North Sea.

EV is now the recognized video camera technology leader, and is widely known for delivering consistently reliable, high-quality images in the some of the most difficult downhole conditions.
