Customer Reviews for Sewer Camera 165 ft/50 m Self-Leveling Drain Duct Camera with 512Hz Locator

Everything works good, just wish it could tell me how far it is in the pipe.The camera is clear and crisp you can see a lot of things in the sewer pipe

PROS The visual is good. It looks better on the screen in person than the picture I’m posting and the digital image on the SD card is great. The sonde emitter and locator are very accurate and comparable to many thousands of dollars of Rigid brand equipment. It is easy to record and if you get a micro SD to lightning port plug, you can download and view directly with your phone. The camera is very light which is a nice advantage I was not expecting CONS The camera is not self leveling. Currently there is no option to upgrade to a self leveling camera (Vevor! I would love to order a self leveling head unit to put on my reel!). The “push cable” is a little thin. It IS sufficiently rigid and flexible enough to be pushed down a drain line. EXPERIENCE I was able to push the camera through 4-5 90s down my sewer line and in the process actually found a clean out port buried a foot under my mulch bed. Probably got the camera out about 80ft but I couldn’t get it any further without fear of breaking the push cable. This can happen even with the name brand units. Over all, very very happy. Would love to acquire a camera head that was self leveling for around $100. Thanks VEVOR!

Nice clear color, sting design, a must have

Better than what I thought, very satisfied with everything at the best price yet. without words to describe.

I have only used this once, but expect to use it 2-3 times a year in maintaining my rental properties. The camera quality and screen resolution and image quality are quite good. The overall build quality seems good. The software and user interface for selecting and changing the various display options have not been easy for me and I need to study and learn these better. I find it hard to select language options and the image is current stuck on the reverse-mirror image, as text is backwards. The setup requires toggling the right and left arrows on the video screen, which will have different functions depending on what menu item is selected. For me it's not very intuitive. The written directions in the manual are better than some, but could be better in their translation to English. The locator/transmitter wand has so far been of minimal usefulness. It doesn't do well in decisively sending a stronger signal when the sensor and transmitter wand come closer to each other. This is even when following the directions to use the wand in parallel and perpendicular motions. There is a clear need to improve the tech so that a simple readout shows the approximate distance between the locator wand and the camera tip. Some users will find it best to opt for the camera without the locator, given it's lack of reliable functionality. Another concern (which almost led me not to purchase the item) is that Vevor DOES NOT make replacement parts available for purchase after the one-year warranty is over. This makes no sense, as they could offer the parts at a cost that covers their expenses and support customers. Not doing so causes customers to risk having a useless piece of equipment if something (even a minor part) goes bad one year or more after purchase. Some of the basic hardware like the camera and cable may be generic enough to find on ebay and similar sites, but not the non-generic parts. Overall, the camera system seems to be a very good value if it holds up over time. My cost was about $640 plus tax at the time of purchase. Greg Pape

I use this camera to scope out ductwork and it works great. I can imagine a ton of uses for this for my business and is will definitely get its uses in.

Camera is pretty nice other than the issue with the camera tip not lighting up now. So when I try to use it in a dark tunnel, I can’t see with it. Trying to get Vevor to swap that part out so I can keep using it. I buy a lot through this company but trying to get up with someone when there is an issue is hard.

Only comment is to add a very small camera protector ring, in addition to the two include camera protectors, to protect the camera when viewing small diameter pipes or openings.

This will definitely bring in extra revenue along with the Plumbing Services that I provide. This is an absolute must have

Great compact camera, good quality of lens, I highly recommend for scoping the pipes.
