inspection sewer camera
A drain camera with sonde represents a cutting-edge diagnostic tool essential for modern plumbing and pipe inspection work. This sophisticated device combines high-resolution video capabilities with precise locating technology, enabling professionals to conduct thorough inspections of underground pipes, sewers, and drainage systems. The camera head, equipped with powerful LED lights, provides crystal-clear real-time footage of pipe interiors, while the integrated sonde transmitter emits a locatable signal that helps determine the exact position and depth of the camera underground. The system typically includes a durable push cable that can extend hundreds of feet into pipelines, a high-resolution display monitor for real-time viewing, and recording capabilities for documentation purposes. The waterproof camera head can withstand harsh environments and navigate through various pipe materials and sizes, from 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter. Advanced models feature self-leveling capabilities, ensuring the image always appears upright regardless of how the camera rotates within the pipe. The sonde functionality operates at specific frequencies, typically 512Hz or 33kHz, allowing the operator to precisely pinpoint problem areas for targeted repairs without unnecessary excavation.
