Charging the DrainTracker

The camera can be powered by either being plugged into a 
wall outlet or using the internal 12 VDC battery. The battery 
can operate up to 6-7 hours with continuous 
use. Actual time will vary depending on age of 
battery, use of sonde, recording functions, LED 
brightness and ambient temperature. 

We recommend recharging the battery after 
use, or periods of non-use storage. To recharge, 
plug the power cord in to a standard wall outlet. A full recharge 
takes only a few hours. Overnight charging is ok, but not 
needed. Prolonged charging can reduce the battery life.

Maintenance and Care tips

•  Don’t use a camera to clear blockages. This can result in a 

buckled, kinked or broken push rod, or damaged camera head.

•  Inspection systems’ control panels are water resistant, but 

not waterproof, be sure to keep it away from spray and avoid 

using controls with wet/dirty gloves.

•  When pulling the camera out of the line, wipe the push rod 

down with a cleaning solution on a rag.

To stop recording –

Press the RECORD OFF button 
to stop video recording.  

The file(s) will then be 
saved onto the SD card 
and a “PLEASE WAIT” 
message will display 
temporarily in the center 
of the screen while this 
happens. 

Do not power down the camera during this time or 
the file will not write onto the SD card.

Once files have been success-
fully processed and saved to 
the SD card, additional icons 
appear on the screen:

•  camera symbol 
•  approximate time remaining 

on SD card, and card icon 

To capture a still photo (snapshot) 

Press the SNAPSHOT button  
to record a still photo of what  
is on screen. Image will be 
automatically saved to the  
SD card.

You can’t take snapshots at the same time you are  
recording video.

Viewing and Deleting Files  

Video and snapshot files can be viewed or deleted two ways:

•  using the remote to view/delete files on the DrainTracker’s 

monitor (instructions follow, also refer to back page)

•  transfer the files from the SD card to a computer, then  

view/delete them on the computer (see below)

T o  t r a n s f e r  f ile s   

Power the DrainTracker off. Remove the SD card from its slot 
and insert it in to your computer‘s SD port. Working from the 
computer you can then view, delete, upload or email files:

•  either from the SD card
•  OR transfer them to your computer’s storage to ensure you 

have a backup and files don’t get deleted

The DrainTracker’s system is set to overwrite files when 
the SD card is filled, and it will automatically delete  
300 MB of the oldest files.
