Let's start with the basics: A push rod camera (see example) is a specialized camera used for inspections in pipes, sewers, chimneys, and drains. It consists of a camera connected to a coaxial fiberglass cable wound on a reel and a control unit.

As shown in the image above, a push camera consists of three main components: the camera head, the reel with the coaxial fiberglass cable, and the control unit. Of course, there are many styles and designs available; some are more portable, some are battery-powered, and some are larger and suitable for more in-depth inspections. However, ultimately, three key components distinguish a push camera from other inspection cameras: the camera itself, the coaxial fiberglass cable on the reel, and the control unit.
The main purpose of a push rod inspection camera is to perform a visual inspection of a pipe or sewer to understand what is inside the pipe. It is widely used for visual inspections of pipes, sewers, ventilation systems, building inspections, and other confined spaces.

As mentioned earlier, push rod inspection cameras come in a variety of models, each with its own disadvantages and advantages.
The following is a list of some of the variables in push camera models.
- * Camera head: It can be either a straight view, dual-view or a pan and tilt camera head. The straight view give a rather a small view of the pipe and are better for smaller pipe diameters. The dual-view gives much bigger view of whats happening in the pipes. The straight-view camera of the dual-view gives a downward picture, while the side view gives a picture of the sidewall of the pipe or sewer. The pan and tilt allow you to look around in the pipe both sideways and straight, and the control box controls it.

This 50mm camera from Bestder is equipped with a 1/3'' CMOS sensor with a high resolution of 1.3MP, which can provide clear images. It is waterproof to 10bar and adapts to harsh environmental conditions. At the same time, the camera supports 360-degree full rotation (Pan) and 180-degree tilt (Tilt), making operation more flexible and convenient. The manual focus function enables precise adjustment tailored to individual needs, and six adjustable lights ensure clear images in various lighting conditions.
- * Coaxial fiberglass cable length: Push rod cameras are available in different cable lengths, depending on the length of the pipe you need to measure. Some systems have cable lengths up to 492feet (150Mtr) (see example), while others have a shorter cable length of only 196feet (60Mtr) (see example). Keep in mind that the longer the cable, the heavier the unit, and longer units require a mechanical reel, which adds more weight.
- * Portability: This is directly related to the length of the probe and the structure of the camera. In some cases, if you need a longer cable, you will need to sacrifice portability. However, the more portable the camera unit, the better. The 50mm push rod inspection camera system comes with two types of cable stands: a small and lightweight cable stand for cable lengths up to 60 meters, and a large cable stand with two wheels for easier portability and use by pipeline workers when the cable is longer than 60 meters.
Are there any special requirements? Some push rod cameras have manual focus, rotation, 512Hz, etc. These features are helpful if you need them.
