What imported Drains Cameras are the Best?

What imported Drains Cameras are the Best?

It’s hard to give you specifics on the Best Brands as every brand or manufacturer will claim that their product is the best. It’s more important that we look at what the best features are that an imported drain camera should have, in order to be the best, and then do a comparison on what cameras you’re looking at and see if they have these features. I will list the non-negotiable features that your imported drain camera must have to be considered:

Razorback Drain Camera (6)

1. Warranty

12 months minimum. No product, irrespective of cost or who the manufacturer is, will be perfect 100% of the time, so it is critical that you get a decent warranty period.
Location and Accessibility

2. Local Sales Agent & Repairer

Make sure whomever you buy from has a local agent and repairer if ever required; otherwise, you will struggle getting parts and or decent service.

3. Interchangeable Spares and Replacement Parts

Choose a Camera that you can repair or interchange parts yourself; some manufacturers will supply spare parts or upgrades that you will be able to do yourself without the need for sending your camera off to a third-party repairer.

4. External Battery Cradle

To suit your existing cordless tools, e.g., Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt. This will save you headaches with charging and or battery replacements in the future.

5. Cable

In the maintenance plumbing game, nothing less than 30 meters of cable will be sufficient. And even if that is a little small, choose your cable wisely and only go with a product that has a tried and tested track record; the cable is the hardest working part of the camera and must be able to withstand some hard work, otherwise you will be chasing your tail and potentially wasting your money.

6. Camera Head

The camera head must be robust and be able to withstand the tortures of the Average Australian Plumber will put them through on a daily basis. A couple of things to look for: the lens needs to be sapphire glass, meaning it’s hardened and scratch-resistant, the camera head needs to have a built-in 512 HZ sonde, there’s always times you will want to locate the camera head so the sonde is a necessary requirement.

Root Intrusions

7. Ruggedness of the Unit

It’s critical that we spend our hard-earned cash on a camera that won’t be damaged by day-to-day transit in the back of a van or ute, having employed many plumbers over the years I’ve seen my equipment being thrown around with little regard for its safety. Therefore I’m a strong believer that whatever equipment I buy must be designed for the lowest common denominator, so please buy a product that can be handled roughly and carelessly otherwise you will lose your mind when someone you give the camera to neglects it.
Crystal Clear Image

8. Image quality

A drain camera can be one of your best-selling tools; “a picture paints a thousand words” and your biggest asset when doing relines, therefore, it’s critical that the image shown on the camera monitor is not only crystal clear but also super detailed. An image with less than 1080 megapixels really doesn’t cut it in this day and age, so I encourage you to really choose wisely and not skimp when it comes to image quality.

Conclusion

Determining the best-imported drain camera isn’t just about the brand; it’s about the essential features that ensure its performance and durability. These non-negotiable features include a robust warranty, local support, interchangeable parts, an external battery cradle, durable cable, a rugged camera head, a sturdy unit, and superior image quality. By considering these factors, you can make a wise choice when selecting the right drain camera for your needs, ensuring reliability and efficiency in your plumbing work.
