Gen-Eye POD Pipe Inspection System

Q. "Do the General Wire Gen-Eye POD units record video?"
A. These units do not record video but do include a video out port so that you can capture the video with a device of your choice. If you require a unit that includes a video capture device we suggest looking at the General Wire Gen-Eye SD units.

Q. "What size of lines will this system work with?"
A. The Gen-Eye POD units work with a line capacity of 3" to 10" while the Gen-Eye Mini-POD units will work with a line capacity of 2" to 3".

Q. "What is a 'Sonde'?"
A. A sonde is a small radio transmitter. Gen-Eye Sondes are a great tool for pipe location in cast iron, clay, or plastic lines. Easier than locating an energized line, you simply locate the pinpoint frequency of the Sonde. Attach the sonde to your drain cleaning cable using the included spring carrier. Then find the signal with the General Wire Digital Locator (not included with all units).

Q. "Why do some units include the 'Sonde' but not the digital locator?"
A. The manufacturer does not offer the digital locator with all units as some customers may already have the digital locator. A digital locator is required to use the sonde.

Q. "What kind of camera lighting do these systems have?"
A. The Self-Leveling color camera and standard color camera both include 16 white LED's while the color mini-camera has 8 white LED's.

Q. "What is special about the self leveling camera?"
A. The self leveling camera keeps the water at the bottom of the picture as the camera glides through the line, making it easier for the operator and his/her customer to follow the action. The camera head is just 1.4" in diameter and has sixteen ultra-bright LED's, so there's plenty of flexibility and enough light to handle lines up to 10" in diameter.
