Please use all equipment in a safe
and sane way.
Please read all the warnings on this web page and on the instruction
sheet that comes with your camera.
Please search Google and read about 'Instructions for using electrical equipment safely'.
Not for Medical or Veterinary use.
Not for dangerous environments such as high voltage,
explosive, moving machinery, etc.
Think about your safety before you put any video
inspection camera in any location.
Caution do not put the inspection camera (or yourself)
in dangerous locations, such as moving machinery, near electricity
or gasoline etc.
The flying debris or shock may hurt or kill. Remember the icam
video cable conducts electricity like a metal pole.
Note: This camera must be connected to a "video"
input. It will not produce an image when connected to a cable
TV or RF input.
This high quality Video Inspection Camera is sturdy but please
protect it from static discharge, physical damage etc.
Using the camera in or around water.
This waterproof camera is supplied with a UL approved 12 VDC power supply. If the camera is to be used in an area that is required by UL and electrical code to use a GFI (ground fault interrupter), the 12 VDC adapter MUST be connected to a GFI outlet. The power supply is NOT waterproof and should be mounted indoors. Typical areas that require a GFI approved outlets are any outdoor applications, garage, bathroom or kitchen locations, or any other area that may have water or moisture present. ADDITIONALLY all system components (monitor, VCR, power supply, etc or other equipment) that may be connected to the camera, directly or indirectly, must also have GFI protection. CCTV monitors or TVs used to view the camera must be fully protected from any possible moisture contamination. Be absolutely positive before connecting any 120 VAC monitor, recording device, etc. that the device(s) does not have stray electrical leakage that can cause a dangerous or deadly electrical shock hazard once the camera comes near water. Contact a licensed electrician for further information on requirements for GFI usage. All non-waterproof system components must be located indoors with appropriate electrical shock precautions adhered to.
The same precautions apply when using the camera around earth grounded items. Such as metallic pipes, plates or equipment that may be in contact with earth or soil or water.
Inspection cameras are used for;
Heating & A/C (air conditioner) ducts, such as Rotobrush, trademark.
Close dryer vents.
Inside walls, under floors, attics, gutters and roof eves for mold and
water damage.
Hard to reach locations such as tree limbs for owl and bird nests.
Law enforcement to inspect under cars and trucks, inside shipping containers
and trailers.
Law enforcement to inspect under ships and in ships hatches and holes.
Aircraft industries to inspect wings and cavities, (at your own risk).
Used by chimney sweeps to inspect chimneys and flues.
Used by plumbers to inspect water supply tanks, pipes, leach lines,
septic tanks and sewers.
Down wells and inside well casing's.
Used to observe and count fish.
Used underwater in sports activities.
Used to document the condition and damage of dams, bridges and monuments.
Used with automatic assembly lines to keep watch of key operations at
one control point.
Used with stamping or machining steps to be sure of alignment of key
parts.
Used as a navigation aid for boats and ships in troubled waters.
Used under recreational boats to find submerged objects.
Used down gopher holes to look for vermin, snakes and insects.
Steam radiator heat transfer tubes.
Mining operations and boring holes.
Used to inspect many hard to reach locations including the back of your
own head, it can help to find skin moles that you would not be able
to see in any other way.
It may be useful to attach an inspection camera to a 'plumbers snake'
or a garden hose that can be maneuvered to the location you need to
inspect.
Inspection cameras are very small TV cameras with headlights.
Attaching the camera one foot behind of the tip of the snake will allow
you to view your progress and the tip of the snake will take the brunt
of the force banging into obstacles and 90 degree elbows.
The first foot of the snake can be used to help steer your camera in
the direction of interest.
The camera will tell you when the snake is going the correct direction
at a 'Y' or 'T' joint.
Attaching the camera to the end of a telescoping roller paint pole can
help position your camera either up down or sideways.

or techniques that can help others.
