    Q:What is the maximum distance the camera can view ?
    by|Jul 25, 2023
    2 Answers
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi, depending on lighting and visibility, 50' would be about the max distance.

    by|Jul 26, 2023

      A:  It can see several feet in a darkened space. The problem is, you're looking at something through a tiny telescope and it's almost never oriented with the horizon on which you're perched. It may be 47 degrees out of phase with what's level according to your brain. This makes it difficult to interpret what you're seeing, even if it is in focus. The view it presents might be rotated 110 degrees clockwise. The buttons on the viewfinder let you make gross adjustments, (by 90 degree increments), so it can still be confusing to interpret. Moving the camera in a particular direction becomes quite difficult when you can't tell which way it's oriented. It's probably best at detecting something fairly obvious, like a bullet hole in the roof, or a broken wire where rodents chewed off the insulation. For looking around, I've found it maddeningly difficult to direct the view and then to interpret what's displayed. One great use is to look at toenails, if you can't bend over anymore.

            Battery compartment cover WILL break
            I am on my second unit. First one had the battery cover just break off, well within the 90 day. Fluke right? Second unit failed in the exact same fashion after the exchange/return window closed. I am a manual reader and follow instruction religiously. Batteries never stored in camera, knew about rechargeable batteries not fitting issue from researching before buying, and it's ALWAYS stored in case when not in use. I'm a tech for a big outfit; will go out of my way to retract my recommendations.

              Useful, but limited
              The instructions are awful. The marks for battery orientation are almost impossible to see. Reviews that complain about white screen are because batteries installed wrong. I had the same problem until I managed to find the tiny + marks.

                Great picture, great price
                I purchased this tool to inspect for pipes and electrical wiring behind a soffit in the kitchen remodel. I drilled a small 5/8” hole in soffit that easily accepted the camera and was pleased with the clarity and color of the picture with the builtin variable LED light source surrounding the camera. I can now demo this soffit without fear of cutting electric wiring to the stove top hood.

                Works well. Hookup to a full-size TV is easy; you’ll need to buy a GANA AV2HDMI converter. Camera has a 4 foot long cable.

                Camera is great and the hook attachment is fantastic. I had replaced a toilet and after flushing once something didn’t seem right. I figured I had left the towel in place when I put the toilet on. I pulled the toilet back off to see if I could see the towel but couldn't see anything. I wanted to retrieve it if possible since I have a septic system and it would have worried me having a towel go in there and possibly block something. I always wanted to try one of these cameras so I bought this one. With the camera I could see the towel about a foot and a half in. I put on the hook attachment and got the towel out!

                  This Rigid model CA-25 inspection camera is just the thing to check out any hidden or hard to reach areas before you do any work that would involve drilling holes in walls, wall demolition, or just checking for water leaks in hidden pipes or drains. Here are several great design features: - nice resolution on the 2.7” (diagonal measure) camera screen (see picture) - easy to understand controls for camera tip LED brightness, image rotation, and power (see picture) - handy carrying case (see picture) includes your first set of four AA batteries - three camera tip attachments for a hook, magnet, and a mirror makes this very versatile - 4 foot cable reach with a semi-rigid neck much like a gooseneck lamp – stays where you want it! - comes with a cable to allow video output to a TV or for recording (see picture) - space in the case to carry a spare set of four batteries as back up - battery case can only be inserted one way, so no mistakes possible (see picture)! - comprehensive 10-page operator’s manual and CD covers everything you need to know (see picture) I highly recommend this inspection camera because it will allow you to do more things as a do-it-yourselfer! It is a very versatile tool!

                    The camera worked but the tip was too large to do what I needed. I returned it and bought the Ryobi TEK4 instead. The Ryobi worked great. The only downside is the Ryobi uses one rechargeable battery versus the AA batteries for the CA25. This camera will only be used periodically and the shelf life for the rechargeable is about two years. I can see a situation coming where I need it and the battery will be unusable. I would have preferred AA for occasional use..I always have those available.

                    Worked on 2 inch cast iron p-trap shower drain!
                    Where do I begin? Well for starters I don't write reviews. This tool however has been the most useful in my arsenal in trouble shooting. After paying a tenant 6,000 dollars to move so the drain could be repaired, I would have never imagined what I would find. We literally had 3 plumbers tell us a camera would not make the P-trap curve and tearing up the slab was the only way to determine what the back up was. I refused to accept that and so did the rigid camera. with a little patience and careful movements of the camera it moved past the 2 inch cast iron trap and beyond! word of advice, if you can't make it past the trap, use a old metal coat hanger with a slightly bent tip to pull up and guide the camera thru the trap. It worked and saved me thousands.
