The camera systems that let crews see inside live sewer lines — how the technology works, what separates the tiers, and how to buy for your pipe network.
You cannot repair what you cannot see. Inspection cameras turn a guess into a condition assessment — the legal record of every asset in the collection system.
Standardized defect coding turns footage into engineering decisions and defensible capital plans.
Before lining or excavation, the camera locates the defect precisely — offset joints, roots, collapses, infiltration.
Buying a property or system? Camera survey tells you what you're actually buying.
Re-inspection verifies lateral reinstatements and liner quality.
Timestamped, distance-counted footage settles responsibility disputes between municipalities and contractors.
From laterals to large interceptors — there is a camera class for every diameter.
Every inspection system on the market — regardless of brand — falls into three mechanical classes. The pipe decides which you need.
Fiberglass push rod or flat cable carries a fixed-focus head into laterals and small mains. Fast, one-person operation, affordable.
Wheeled or tracked tractor drives a pan/tilt camera through large mains — the workhorse of municipal CCTV.
Truck- or pole-mounted zoom cameras inspect large-diameter pipes and manhole-to-manhole reaches without entry.
What the lens assembly actually contains — the engineering we respect and the parts our repair division fixes every week.
The window survives grit, grease and jetting splash.
Light output adapts to pipe diameter and wall reflectance.
Fixed-focus for push heads; auto-focus on premium crawler heads.
A transmitter coil lets surface crews locate the camera head exactly — the single most-used feature in lateral work.
Rated for submersion in live sewage — and the first casualty when a unit isn't maintained.
Where cable meets head — and the repair our bench sees most.
The crawler is only as good as its grip. In greasy pipe, stock wheels slip and burn drive motors.
Fine for clean mains, marginal in grease and sludge.
Premium aftermarket wheels — TruGrit Traction (a line we carry) built carbide-grit wheels that exceed OEM specs. Born from field frustration with greasy pipes.
Tracked versions spread load in big interceptors and soft invert sludge.
Wheel diameter, articulation and ground clearance decide whether the crawler clears offset joints.
Slip = lost runs + cable strain + motor wear. Grip = full passes, first try.
Our repair division replaces and upgrades traction while our sales division stocks the aftermarket parts.
For laterals and small-bore work, the push camera is the fastest tool on the truck.
Fiberglass pushes stiffer and farther; flat reel cable handles tight bends in smaller pipe.
Match the head to the smallest bend you must negotiate — 90mm laterals need the compact heads.
Surface locator finds the sonde — potholing, tap location, defect mapping.
Rod-length counters (mechanical or electronic) feed the inspection report — accuracy is compliance.
Minicam SOLO PRO+ is the reference class of the category — 1991-built UK engineering, now part of a global group with US service.
We repair heads, re-terminate rods, fix counters — every brand.
Raw footage without a report is a souvenir. Coded inspection data is an asset-management decision.
Most systems embed WinCan or export to it — our Minicam line ships WinCan-integrated.
Certified coding turns observations into comparable, auditable condition data.
Council-ready deliverables from every run.
Storage of timestamped inspections supports warranty claims and capital planning.
Position + footage + sonde = a map of the problem, not just a picture.
Part of every system quote we deliver.
How our sales division specifies an inspection package.
Your network's diameter histogram decides push vs crawler vs both. Bring your GIS export — we do this math with you.
Van-fit vs trailer vs portable — depends on vehicles and crew size.
ATEX-certified crawlers (like the Minicam line offers) cover gas-risk environments — specify it up front.
Portable power packs (like the Proteus Power Pack, ~5 hours) free you from generators.
We sell new authorized lines; we also tell you when a repair of your current unit beats a new purchase. Same company, no pressure.
Delivery includes operator training; our repair division supports everything afterward.
The inspection market has excellent engineers on every side. We represent some lines as an authorized dealer and service all of them.
Proteus crawlers + SOLO PRO+ push systems — 1991 UK engineering, ISO 9001, ATEX options, Manchester assembly. We proudly represent them in CT/RI + western & northern MA.
Not our dealer lines in this territory — but our repair division services them all, and our knowledge pages treat every brand's engineering with respect.
Manufacturer-published images only on our pages — no mockups passed off as real equipment.
We say "authorized dealer" where it's true, "independent repair" where it's true — nothing else.
Equipment that works — sold by people who repair it, supported by people who answer the phone.
