A drain camera, also known as a sewer camera or pipeline inspection camera, is a specialized tool used to inspect the interior of drainage systems and pipes. It consists of a small, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable that can be inserted into drains. This allows professionals to visually assess the condition of pipes, identify blockages, and detect issues like cracks or corrosion. Using a drain camera can save time and money by pinpointing problems without the need for invasive digging. The footage captured can be recorded and analyzed, helping plumbers and maintenance teams make informed decisions about repairs or maintenance needed for the drainage system.
