How it began…

The roots of Aries go back to the mid-1960s when the founder experimented with 8mm movie cameras and found a way to take photos one frame at a time. This led to the creation of an underground sewer pipe inspection service making use of this invention. This service was incorporated as Photo Inspection Corporation, PIC, and performed sewer inspections throughout the Midwest. This work demonstrated to municipalities and contractors the tremendous value of internal inspection of sewer systems. PIC was eventually sold.

Then in the 1980s, substantial improvements in video technology including video recording and miniature video cameras led to a renewed interest in underground inspection equipment by the founders, now using video rather than film. This time the focus was on the hardware and supporting equipment and Aries was born.
