The eCAM Pro and companion Ace base model pipeline inspection systems from Electric Eel Mfg. Co. include a 1.68-inch-diameter color camera with sapphire lens, 20-LED light ring, high-resolution CCD element, and 512 Hz sonde. The stainless steel-housed camera can navigate 3-inch P-traps and has an auto-adjusting iris.

The Ace unit also has a 5.4-inch LCD monitor with antiglare shield, video output jack, powder-coated frame and 125 feet of Kevlar-braided 1/2-inch pushrod. A 1.23-inch camera for inspecting 1 1/2- to 4-inch lines and negotiating 2-inch plastic P-traps and 1/2-inch 90-degree bends is available.

“This is the next generation camera for us,” says Mark Speranza, vice president of sales. “It’s a more user-friendly, durable camera. The camera head itself is flexible enough to negotiate a 3-inch P-trap.”

Other Pro features include self-leveling camera, 8.4-inch monitor and weatherproof hard case with 200 feet of pushrod (reel capacity available to 400 feet), one-touch recording to a built-in 320 GB hard drive or USB flash drive, and 8X zoom for detailed close-ups.

The system also includes a 2-hour NiMH battery with built-in charger (3-hour charge time with unit off), on-screen footage counter, voice-over recording, 16 pages of text writing capability, and 8-inch wheels for maneuverability. 800/833-1212; www.electriceel.com.
