The more pipe a municipality can inspect in a day, the better. That’s why pipe inspection systems need to be efficient and easy to use. Envirosight recently unveiled the Verisight Ultra, the next generation of its pipe inspection push camera system that the company says sets a new standard for efficiency, flexibility and ease of use in lateral pipe inspections.
“The Verisight Ultra is wireless and among the advantages is that two people can be standing at the unit with tablets and both view the same thing, as you can view from more than one device at the same time,” says Michael Putney, regional sales manager for Envirosight. “The operator also does not have to stand right at the reel when utilizing the system.”
Designed for portability and affordability, the Verisight Ultra simplifies workflows while delivering high-end image quality, according to Putney. It includes a 1080p full HD touchscreen monitor, which records hi-def video and photos to enable quick and accurate identification of blockages, defects and other issues that may compromise the functionality and safety of underground pipelines.
“To my knowledge, not many push cameras on the market have this feature,” Putney says. “The tablet can also be detached. Mounted on the reel, the control box can be adjusted infinitely, which means you don’t have to pick up the entire reel and move it to achieve an optimal operating position or to eliminate sun glare.”
Self-leveling, pan-and-tilt advanced camera control options are also available. It also has a compact and lightweight design for easy maneuverability through tight spaces and uneven terrain. The system offers the ability to perform inspections standing up or on its side for added versatility on uneven ground. It offers the choice of 200 or 330 feet of “built-for-distance” cables.
“The Verisight Ultra is ideal for municipal and private or environmental contractors,” Putney says. “This is not a plumber’s camera for household use. It is made to push for distance in rugged environments, not for multiple bends. It also offers more protective and centering skids around the camera head versus a plumber’s camera.”
Putney says that, while the camera is fresh to the market after a late January launch at the 2024 WWETT Show, early reviews are encouraging.
“We had many test trials with customers to get user feedback prior to launch,” he says. “Their response, along with those at WWETT, has been very positive.” 866-348-6071; www.envirosight.com
