Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CCTV pipe inspection

Some of the main things to consider when choosing professional drain, sewer and pipeline inspection equipment.

What type of camera is best for drain inspection?

The right system depends on the pipe diameter, inspection distance and level of detail required.

Push camera systems are typically suited to smaller drains, laterals and shorter inspection runs, while crawler systems are designed for longer mainline sewer inspections and larger pipe diameters.

What is the difference between an axial camera and a pan-and-tilt camera?

An axial camera provides a forward-facing view through the pipe and is well suited to straightforward visual inspection.

A pan-and-tilt camera can be rotated and angled so the operator can examine defects, joints, connections and other areas of interest in greater detail.

When should I use a crawler instead of a push camera?

A crawler is generally the better option for longer inspections, larger-diameter pipes and mainline sewer work where powered movement through the pipeline is required.

Push cameras are usually more portable and quicker to deploy for smaller drains and shorter inspection runs.

Can Rausch systems produce CCTV inspection reports?

Yes. Rausch inspection systems can be used with professional inspection and reporting software, including PipeCommander, so footage, observations and survey information can be recorded and managed as part of the inspection process.

Can I arrange a demonstration before buying?

Yes. Rausch UK can demonstrate suitable inspection systems so you can see the equipment working before deciding which configuration is right for your operation.

Start with your typical pipe diameters, inspection distances and type of work and we can help identify the most relevant equipment to demonstrate.
