Company owners Paul and Kirsty Williams and business partner Doug Hall imported the Quad Cam earlier this year for about $1million for both the unit and set up costs.
It is the first of its kind in Australia and New Zealand. It includes a high resolution thermal HD infrared camera, a ultra-violet corona detection camera, an HD video camera and a 45.7 megapixel still digital camera.
''We have done quite a bit of practice providing photographs, video and mapping,'' Mrs Williams said.
The Bell 206L1 LongRanger helicopter, piloted by Mr Williams, would continue the survey to Alexandra. She said the camera had huge potential for firefighting, search and rescue, pest control, civil emergencies and police enforcement.
Aurora spokeswoman Karin Melville said the survey would provide the basis for planning future maintenance or replacements in Aurora Energy's asset management plan. She said the infrared footage revealed any ''hot spots'' on the conductors.
