A plumbing camera is a waterproof camera head on the end of a long sturdy cable called a push rod. An image of the inside of a pipe is streamed real time back to a monitor called a controller which allows the user to see live video, make USB recordings, see a footage length, and even locate the camera under a concrete floor.
These cameras are used for viewing, inspecting, and investigating hard-to-reach areas, not just pipes. The push rod is stiff enough to push down a pipe but also flexible allowing the camera head to be maneuvered around corners into place. This enables the user to uncover issues that are otherwise undetectable from the surface.
Using a plumbing camera allows plumbers to identify, locate and diagnose internal problems in a pipe system. Prior to their development plumbers could only speculate on what was causing issues inside of a pipe requiring walls and floors to be opened up. Now, with the combination of a high-definition video camera and an LED light, plumbers can see most points in a pipe system quickly, easily and inexpensively.
All plumbing cameras have bright LED lights on the front allowing a clear picture to be streamed up the push rod cable and back to the control box. The control box should display a bright clear picture of every feature inside the pipe, in real-time. This will allow professionals to locate the presence of roots, clogs, debris and cracks in the pipe. The presence of mud and dirty water in the pipe will limit the viewing area and picture clarity so practice and understanding of tool limitations is key to success.
