New Drain Camera Added to Medit Inc. Premium Product Line

Medit Inc. has added a new piece of equipment its family of drain and sewer inspection cameras. Gecko 3000-S was developed and designed by the German company G. Drexl specifically for drain pipelines and small canals, although the camera may also be successfully used for inspections of ventilation shafts, chimneys, foundations, and cavities.

The tool comes with a 35 meter (115 ft.) super flexible Kevlar braided push cable. Increased flexibility permits the cable to last far longer than most other cables on the market, while Kevlar coating protects it from physical damage such as snapping and scratching. The camera head diameter is 1’’ (2.4mm). Its relatively small head diameter coupled with amazing flexibility of the push cable allows using the tool even on pipelines with multiple 90 degree bends. The unit can be used in pipes up to 6’’ in diameter.

The next feature worth special mention is two types of LEDs. 10 of them are high powered LEDs ideal for inspections at a distance, while 5 other lights are special SMD LEDs added for close up inspections. The SMD LEDs help to avoid excessive glare during close up inspections, an issue that often occurs when LEDs are too direct and bright. The high resolution Sony CCD camera chip provides crystalline image, while a video recorder with a remote is there to capture still photos or record inspection videos.

Other useful features of this new state of the art drain camera include, but are not limited to, an on-screen footage counter, a metal screen shield, variable height adjustment for the monitor, a rechargeable battery pack with 2x 12V batteries, which provide over 12 hours of continuous portable operation. The drain camera is supplied with a durable aluminum skid to center the camera head within the pipe and to protect it from damage. As an option, the device may be ordered with a 33khz built-in sonde used to locate the head at any time during the inspection.

Gecko 3000-S stands out from the rest of similar drain cameras currently on the market due to its unmatched reliability and versatility. Ultra durable and flexible Kevlar braided cable, highly dependable imaging hub and other features place Gecko 3000-S among and above the most advanced pieces of equipment of that kind. In addition, the new device comes with an extended 3-year manufacturer’s warranty.
