The CommPort UVSS is designed to scan, monitor, and digitally record crisp, clear digital-video images of the entire width of a vehicle's underside - all with one permanent or portable system.

The Comm Port UVSS unique heavy-duty galvanized-steel rugged inspection ramp can withstand weight of up to 48t from stationary or mobile vehicles.

Each UVSS ramp contains high-resolution, waterproof, color video cameras, which can be individually angled, and have fixed-focus lenses which can operate between 0.5in and 50ft for maximum depth of field.

A stand-alone system that can simultaneously output real-time video with an advanced codec algorithm, the Comm Port UVSS delivers a high-resolution video-feed that can be stored on a hard-drive, and timed and dated.

The Comm Port UVSS allows you to view four different cameras and stitch the video together as one landscape view for viewing four different camera angles, on one screen, of a single vehicle-undercarriage.
