The vCamDrain features a Wi-Fi reel controlled by the vCam Mobile Controller (VMC) app. When connected to the reel by Wi-Fi, the VMC app controls the camera lights, distance counter reset, sonde and text writer. The app shows the reel’s Wi-Fi, battery, and charging status. Recording can be done directly to the app and instantly shared or copied to the reel’s USB port.
The stainless-steel 0.70″ (18mm) diameter HD camera with a sapphire lens and ultra-bright LEDs produces a crisp, clear image of the pipe’s interior. The 9mm custom pushrod provides a delicate balance of flexibility and pushing strength usable in lines from 1.5 to 3 inches. The drag-resistant nylon jacketing allows it to navigate multiple bends, tight turns, p-traps, and most toilet traps. Both camera head and spring assembly with built-in 512Hz frequency sonde are field serviceable.
The reel is powered by internal Li-ion batteries, which provide consistent, clean, long-life power. A six-hour charge will provide 12 hours of power with intermittent sonde use.
