Drain inspection cameras are sophisticated tools used to inspect the interior of sewer pipes and drainage pipes for damage, blockages, or other issues. Several components of these cameras can break or require repair due to various reasons:
The camera head is one of the most critical components. It can break due to impact damage, corrosion, or wear and tear overtime. The lens can also become scratched, affecting image quality.
Many sewer inspection cameras are equipped with LED lights to illuminate the pipe's interior. These lights can fail due to electrical issues, water damage, or simply burning out over time.
The control unit is used by the operator to manipulate the camera's movements and settings. It can suffer from electrical issues, software glitches, or physical damage.
The monitor displays the live video feed from the camera. It can experience issues such as screen damage, electrical faults,or connection problems.
If the inspection camera is battery-powered, the battery can degrade over time, leading to shorter operating times between charges or complete failure.
Various structural components of the camera system, such as the housing, handles, and mounting brackets, can break or become damaged through rough handling or accidents.
Sewer inspection cameras need to be waterproof to operate effectively in the wet environment of sewer pipes. Damage to seals or waterproofing materials can result in water ingress, damaging internal components.
The cables that transmit video feed and control signals from the camera head to the operator can get damaged due to bending,twisting, or snagging on obstructions within the pipe. Broken cables can disrupt the communication between the camera and the operator.
Connectors and cables connecting different parts of the inspection system can wear out, corrode, or suffer damage, leading to signal loss or electrical issues.
Regular maintenance and proper handling of sewer inspection cameras can help prevent many of these issues. Call us today!: (973) 478-0893
