Measurement device and method for measuring an advancement of a cable
A measuring device is provided for measuring an advancement of a cable of a sewer cleaning and/or sewer inspection system. A rotatably mounted magnet is designed such that the advancement of the cable can cause rotations of the at least one rotatably mounted magnet, wherein the magnet follows a movement of the cable in the radial direction during advancement of the cable. A corresponding method is also provided.
PIPE LINING PREPARATION ASSEMBLY
An example sewer preparation from the main (PFM) device provides for the inspection and preparation of the sewer pipe from the main sewer pipe. The PFM device provides for the insertion of one or more individual and separately controllable tools into the sewer pipe. The tools include a clean out tool and a camera.

Channel inspection and/or maintenance system
An inspection system comprising an inspection and/or maintenance device and a monitoring device is provided. The inspection and/or maintenance device is operationally connected to the monitoring device via a wired communication connection, and the inspection and/or maintenance device has at least one image recording system, the at least one image recording system provides digital video data and the inspection and/or maintenance device has a transmitting device which is operationally coupled to the at least one image recording system and to the communication connection, and the monitoring device has a receiving device which is operationally coupled to the communication connection. The transmitting device and the receiving device are adapted to transmit the digital video data at least via a sub-section of the communication connection in an analog manner according to an AHD standard. Also provided is a method for transmitting digital video data is provided.
Data transmission system and method in pipe inspection and/or maintenance systems
A pipe inspection and/or maintenance system is provided, having a control device, an image recording device and a feed device. The image recording device can be mechanically coupled to the feed device, and the image recording device and the feed device are operatively connected to one another via a first communication link. The feed device and the control device are operatively connected to one another via a second communication connection. The feed device has a processing unit which is operatively connected to the first communication connection and to the second communication connection, and the processing unit is adapted to receive image data from the image recording device by way of the first communication link, to process the received image data, and to transmit the processed image data to the control device by way of the second communication link. A corresponding method is also provided.
NOZZLE MOUNTED CAMERA
An inspection system comprising (a) one or more sleds, each sled comprising (i) three or more rails running lengthwise and defining a diameter and a central axis of said each sled, (ii) first and second mounts, (iii) a nozzle comprising an interface configured for connection to a hose, and (iv) one or more jets configured for communicating fluid from said hose outward; (c) a camera module comprising (i) a housing, (ii) a camera having an optical axis, (iii) one or more lights; (iv) at least one battery, (v) memory operatively connected to said camera for recording images from said camera; and (vi) front and rear members for interengaging with said first and second mounts, respectively, such that at least one of said front or rear members urges against said first or second mounts to secure said camera module to said each sled such that said optical axis is essentially coincident with said central axis.
