Introducing the Scout Jet Camera System

Overview

In our latest stride to keep operators as equipped as possible we are proud to present the Scout. This is the absolute simplest and easiest jet camera to operate in the industry. We have carefully planned features that will ensure this system be a very valuable tool for jet/combo operators. This system enables operators to get as much as 10,000 ft./day that can be used to meet your municipalities CMOM requirements. Designed to work in 6” & 8” mainlines mostly, but can be adapted for larger lines up to 14”.

Why wait for your camera truck? Drop the Scout in and get the answer your guys need to solve the problem. 

Design Improvements for 2022

Outstanding Camera Protection

In lieu of the camera facing all the action, we moved in inside the nozzle body to provide much better camera protection. We expect the likelihood of a forward impact to be greatly reduced with this design change.

Improved Fin Plate Design

The fins now extend further past the nozzle body line to help prevent a direct impact with debris. We also brought the fin further inward to add to the light ring protection as well. The trusted stainless steel plate construction has worked well to date.

LED Ring Lighting Encasement

We decided that more metal around the light ring was not a bad thing. It left us with more protection and this means it will last much longer for all users.

Better Longevity from Body Components

The anodizing was upgraded to Type III Hard anodizing. This is the toughest treatment process available for 6061 aluminum. The plating process goes deeper into the billet aluminum and end up with a tougher surface as a result. We didn’t think that a longer lasting body would be a bad thing.

Example Videos

Integrated LED Lighting w- Rechargeable Battery

This nozzle features a replaceable sealed lithium battery pack cartridge. We have bench tested this setup with over 8+ hours of continuous burn time, more than enough power for a full days work. The 150 lumens of sealed LED light is more than enough to light up lines up to 12". 

Removable Action Camara

We designed the nozzle around the best action camera available. This outstanding platform has the benefits of remote review of all videos stored on the camera and doesn't require operators to remove the SD card to review footage. If something goes wrong with your camera, simply replace the camera and keep going on. Crews don't waste time for costly factory repairs to be completed. Replacements are readily available at electronic outlets, this means your crews aren’t waiting for timely repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Will I be able to view the video live going down the pipe?

A: Unfortunately, the live video signal is lost relatively quickly as the Scout is sent down the line therefore there is no live video available. By taking a low-tech mindset, we are able to make the Scout durable and more affordable for our users.

Q: What kind of warranty do I get on the Scout?

A: Please refer to the warranty statement located on page 15

Q: The LED light on my Scout won’t turn on…

A: If you have attempted to re-charge your lighting battery pack and the light still doesn’t come on, their might be something going internally. Please reach out to your local dealer for service.

Q: Is the light ring and battery pack replaceable?

A: Yes, both the LED light ring and battery pack’s are replaceable.

Q: What is the expected run time on the Scout?

A: The light on the Scout will run for eight hours. The action cameras usually last from 2-4 hours depending on settings and other factors.

Q: What kind of tablet do I need?

A: Any Apple or Android smartphone or tablet that can download the needed apps.

Q: What size pipe can I run the Scout in?

A: Right now the Scout is intended for 6” to 18” lines. Anything beyond 18 is currently untested. An extendable skid would increase the capable pipe size. We are currently exploring additional lighting attachments to give the Scout greater range.

Q: Is the camera self-leveling?

A: Nope. We don’t intend to make this system self-leveling. We can self-level the video after it is downloaded to your iOS device.

Q: Will this work with my Jet Truck or Combo Truck?

A: Yes. As long as your water system has 25 -85 GPM it will work. There is no additional hardware required.

Q: Can I use this footage towards my C.M.O.M. requirements?

A: Yes. Many municipalities across the country use a jet camera to obtain footage towards their maintenance requirements.
