A Sewer Camera and Locator Built for Clear Diagnostics and Confident Planning
At a Glance
A sewer camera and locator help plumbers confirm the condition of a line and pinpoint the camera head’s location in the pipe before repairs begin. Gen-Eye Fusion supports clear viewing, straightforward documentation, and compatibility with General’s reel systems so crews can inspect efficiently and communicate findings on site.
Key Takeaways
- See pipe conditions clearly to speed up diagnosis and reduce guesswork
- Document inspections with recording, snapshots, and on-screen job details
- Track distance traveled in the pipe to support accurate planning
- Pair with a locator to pinpoint camera position and simplify repair decisions
Built for Real-World Inspections
When drain-cleaning professionals need an inspection system that offers clear viewing, durability, and flexible recording options in a compact setup, the Gen-Eye Fusion from General Pipe Cleaners is designed to meet that need. It’s a high-definition pipe inspection system built to help plumbers diagnose conditions inside lines faster and document their findings with less friction.
The value of an inspection system isn’t just picture quality. It’s how quickly crews can confirm what’s happening in the line, capture usable proof, and move to the next step without rework or uncertainty.
The Inspection Workflow: Diagnose, Document, Locate
A strong sewer camera and locator setup supports the way inspections actually happen in the field.
Diagnose: Get the clearest view of what’s in the line
The Gen-Eye Fusion pairs an HD camera with a large 10.1″ LCD touch screen so plumbers can view conditions clearly and identify blockages, damage, corrosion, and other pipeline issues. The system is housed in a compact, durable case built for transport and daily use on service trucks.
Clear visuals reduce “maybe” decisions. When you can see what’s in the pipe, you can plan the right response with more confidence.
Document: Capture the inspection and the job details that matter
Fusion includes 1080p recording and multiple ways to save inspection footage: internal storage, USB flash drive recording, and Wi-Fi recording via a phone or tablet. It’s built with 64GB of storage that supports up to 32 hours of footage, giving crews room to capture complete inspections without constant file management.
During inspections, the on-screen display provides job-relevant data such as time/date stamp, recording duration, distance traveled in the pipe (feet or meters), and remaining storage capacity. A touchscreen keyboard allows users to add up to 12 lines of custom text (50 characters per line), including templates for company name, job details, pipe material, and pipe dimensions.
What to capture for a clean job record (recommended habit):
- Start-of-line conditions and access point
- The issue area from multiple angles, if possible
- Distance traveled when the issue is observed
- A short “before and after” clip when clearing work is performed
- Job details on-screen to keep files organized and usable later
Locate: Pinpoint camera position to simplify planning
When paired with the Gen-Eye Hot-Spot pipe locator, operators can pinpoint camera position to support quicker decisions and clearer repair planning.
A locator step helps crews move from “we saw it” to “here’s where it is,” which reduces uncertainty when the next step involves access, excavation, or targeted repair.
Cordless Flexibility for Remote Work
For locations with limited or no power, the Gen-Pack™ battery adapter mounts to the back of the command module case and provides up to 12 hours of cordless operation with a Milwaukee® M18 battery or a compatible equivalent.
Push Cable Built for Daily Use
The system features General Pipe Cleaners’ gel-rod push cable, engineered to maintain flexibility through bends and withstand demanding job conditions, making it well-suited for continuous use across a wide range of inspection applications.
Compatible with General’s Camera Reels and Accessories
Gen-Eye Fusion is compatible with General Pipe Cleaners’ full line of camera reels and accessories, including General’s latest HD cameras, full-size reels, mini-reels, and the Micro-Scope3 system.
