Pipe cameras & sewer cameras from the manufacturer – Ø 30 to 500 mm and 35 to 120 m range

Professional pipe cameras for every pipe diameter

Every inspection task has its own specific requirements in terms of diameter, range, and camera technology, which is why you never have to compromise when you shop with us. Our compact pipe cameras for diameters up to 150 mm are ideal, while for larger sewer and utility channels, the systems up to 350 mm and up to 500 mm are the right choice. When it comes to bends, branches, and a clear view in all directions, our pan-tilt cameras offer decisive advantages. For long, expansive sewers, steerable trolley systems as well as special high-pressure bending cameras that can also be used during flushing.

Typical applications of pipe and sewer inspection

A pipe camera sheds light wherever pipes run underground or are embedded in masonry and are therefore not visible from the outside. An inspection camera allows damage to be detected non-destructively and without unnecessary excavation: from root ingrowth, cracks, and deposits to soil shifts, pipe breaks, and stubborn blockages that can no longer be resolved with conventional methods. Our cameras also provide reliable service when locating problem areas, diagnosing damage prior to renovation, or inspecting newly laid pipes. In addition to sewer and utility lines, they are also used in industrial facilities and, with our special well and chimney cameras, in vertical shafts. This allows you to detect even the smallest changes early on and take action before a fine crack turns into costly damage.

Features of professional inspection cameras

Our cameras are designed as ready-to-use complete systems: A powerful LED light evenly illuminates the pipe section, while the image appears in color on an easy-to-read 8“ or 8.4” monitor. Depending on the model, a self-leveling image ensures the camera is always oriented upright, an integrated digital video recorder (DVR) allows for documentation onto a USB drive, and an electronic meter counter or on-screen meter display enables precise location of the findings. The Li-ion battery enables mobile use independent of a power outlet, and the camera head is waterproof up to 4 to 5 bar, depending on the model. Individual systems such as the 9020 swivel-head camera also offer Wi-Fi transmission and data logging; upon request, many cameras can be combined with a location transmitter to pinpoint damage precisely from the surface.

Repairable instead of disposable – sustainable and cost-saving

A key difference from many inexpensive imported devices: Our pipe and sewer cameras are designed to be repaired rather than discarded. Wear parts and components can be replaced, and our service keeps your system operational for many years. This saves you costs in the long run, conserves resources, and avoids unnecessary electronic waste. This durability is no coincidence, but the result of our professional manufacturing and quality control. Our devices are TÜV-certified, and we offer a warranty of up to three years. Should any issues arise, your camera is in good hands with us as the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pipe and Sewer Cameras

Which pipe camera is suitable for which pipe diameter?

For smaller pipes ranging from approximately 35 mm to 150 mm, our Mini 3000 series is the right choice. For medium-sized pipes starting at 50 mm, the 4540 and 4640 models are suitable; for larger sewer and utility channels up to 500 mm, the 5040, 6030, and 8030 series. If in doubt, we recommend giving us a quick call for advice.

What is the difference between a push camera and a swivel-head camera?

With a push camera, the lens is fixed facing forward. It is robust, compact, and ideal for straight sections. A swivel-head camera like our 9020 has a rotating camera head that allows you to look into branch lines, illuminate bends, and specifically inspect damage from various angles.

What are the benefits of a self-leveling image?

Self-leveling ensures that the image on the monitor always remains upright, even when the camera head rotates inside the pipe. This significantly improves spatial orientation and speeds up the assessment, especially during longer inspections.

What is the distance display used for?

The electronic distance counter or distance display records how far the inspection snake has been pushed into the pipe and displays the distance directly in the live image. This allows you to document the exact position of a defect and locate it precisely later on.

Do I need a separate locating unit for damage detection?

The meter counter allows you to determine the distance to the damage in the pipe. For precise location from the ground surface—i.e., “exactly where does excavation need to take place?”—you will also need a locating transmitter and a compatible locating receiver. You can find both in our Locating Devices category.

How long does a Drexl pipe camera last—and what happens if a defect occurs?

Our cameras are designed for years of professional use and are fully repairable. Wear parts and components can be replaced, and as the manufacturer, we carry out repairs directly. The devices come with a warranty of up to three years, and our service team remains available to you even after that.
