Sewer Camera:  Video Scope with 5.5mm Waterproof Probe - DCS665ART

Articulating Inspection Camera for Plumbing, Marine, and Industrial Use

The Sewer Camera Video Scope is a cutting-edge inspection tool designed for the rigorous demands of plumbing and marine maintenance. Equipped with a 5.5mm waterproof camera-tipped probe, this articulating inspection camera is perfect for inspecting drains, sewer pipes, water lines, and marine vessels. Its precise design ensures you can thoroughly evaluate areas that are typically hard to reach, providing invaluable insights for professionals in plumbing and marine industries.

Marine Maintenance Applications

Boat owners and marine maintenance personnel will find the Sewer Camera Video Scope invaluable for inspecting boat parts, ship components, or bridges just below the surface. Despite the system's highly sophisticated design, the General Tools DCS665-ART is not 100% watertight due to the probe's mechanical articulation control mechanism, which has air gaps that leave it vulnerable to water penetration. However, the P605-1ART probe, which is IP67 rated, ensures protection against immersion in water depths of 15 cm to 1 meter.

Key Features of the DCS665ART Sewer Camera Video Scope:

• Probe Design: The P605-1ART probe measures 5.5mm (0.22 in.) in diameter and 1m (3.3 ft.) long, with a close-focus depth of field of 1.2 to 2.4 inches (30 to 60mm). Its tip articulates up to ±90°, allowing you to inspect off-axis targets with ease.
• Easy Operation: The DCS665ART is user-friendly, featuring a real-time video mode that utilizes only three of the five control buttons to execute functions such as powering on/off, zooming 1 to 4X, adjusting brightness, inverting the field of view, and more.
• Display and Recording: Video is displayed on a 3.5-inch (89mm) diagonal color LCD, ensuring a crystal-clear image. The Sewer Camera Video Scope can also connect to NTSC or PAL-format televisions using the included A/V cable. High-resolution videos and images can be stored on the 4GB Micro SD memory card included with the system.
• Playback and Storage: View recorded media directly on the unit’s LCD, or transfer images and videos to a laptop or desktop PC using the included USB cable or the Micro SD card.
• Durability: The Sewer Camera Video Scope’s probe is crafted from soft metal with four adjustable-brightness LEDs, enhancing visibility in dark and underwater environments.
