Do you need a video camera to perform a Level II chimney inspection? The short answer is yes. To be more technically accurate, you must have "image scanning equipment."

When we began conducting Level II chimney inspections in-house here at Structure Tech, we used a very expensive, specialized camera built just for chimney inspections. It was a good system, but the image quality was subpar. To get better images, we moved on to using a GoPro camera attached to specialized poles, and today we use the Ferret Sweeps camera and a centering device.
