The invention discloses a video inspection system for a GIL pipe gallery. The video inspection system comprises an identification module, an anti-collision module, a display module and an alarm module. The identification module comprises a label, a zooming high-definition camera, a reader/writer and a data processor. The video inspection system is used for realizing an air chamber code identification function, an instrument identification function and a stranger identification function of a device in the GIL pipe gallery. The anti-collision module comprises a laser sensor and a matched hardware circuit. Through a laser positioning method, a distance between a front object or a monitoring target and the device is determined, thereby preventing mis-collision between the devices. The alarm module comprises a data analysis unit, a sound pickup and a loudspeaker and is used for performing sound alarm on conditions of equipment abnormity, device derailing and collision. Furthermore the videoinspection system realizes communication between personnel in the pipe gallery and personnel of a master control chamber.
