Catalogue: Manhole Zoom Camera STV-4: Electronic sewer inspection periscope cabel-less and Full-HD resolution

This new inspection tool STV-4, newly developt as high-end successor of our well-known man hole camera STV-3 and presented first at IFAT 2016 provides the inspection of waste water sewers and shafts / manholes without the need of man entering end with lower costs as for the standard sewer inspection. To increase the performance and to reduce the costs of sewer management are the aims of its usage.

Established as a tool for sewer maintenance inspections our camera is in use in the meantime not only in Germany but also in Austria, Switzerland, Australia, Great Britain and Morocco with detectable payoff.
