Sanyipace Pipe Inspection Camera with Locator, Product Review
Introduction to the Sanyipace Plumbing Camera
Thanks for tuning into my channel today. We have a special review on a plumbing camera, also known as a pipe inspection camera, made by Sanyipace. Whether you're a professional plumber or a homeowner, this tool can make sewer and drain inspections much easier. Let’s dive right in.
Product Overview and Key Features of the Plumbing Camera
When you turn on the unit, you’ll notice the clear image on the screen. Later, I’ll demonstrate the photo and video functions and show you saved files on the Micro SD card, so you can fully appreciate the image clarity this drain inspection camera delivers.
This model comes with 165 feet of rigid cable, allowing you to push the camera through any conduit or plumbing pipe you need to inspect. Now, let’s take a closer look at the camera itself.
Visual Quality and Durability for Plumbing Inspections
High-Definition 9-inch IPS Screen
The 1080p IPS display provides crisp, detailed images for accurate pipe inspections.
Durable Aluminum Case with Sunshade
The anodized aluminum case and sunshade make it tough and practical for outdoor sewer camera use.
Lighting and Measurement Features
Five-Level LED Brightness Adjustment
At the camera head, there are several LEDs. Pressing the LED light button cycles through five brightness levels, which are displayed on-screen. You can also use the F6 key on the keyboard to adjust LED brightness.
Multifunction Keyboard and Meter Counter
Pull out some cable, and the screen shows the length (e.g., 1.48 meters). Press F4 to toggle between metric and imperial units, making it easy to switch between meters and feet.
The screen also shows the battery voltage. If you want to clear the display clutter, press F5 to hide it.

Recording and Playback Functions on the Sewer Camera
This unit supports recording. Press the record button, and the top left corner shows a counter indicating recording mode is active. It has both a speaker and a microphone for audio. You can play back recordings directly on the device or transfer files from the SD card to a computer.
At 4.8 feet of cable extended, pressing the clear key resets the footage counter. When you retract the cable, the counter shows negative numbers, indicating how much cable has been pulled back.
Using the 512Hz Locator with the Drain Camera
512Hz Transmitter Sonde Locator
A great feature is the included 512Hz locator. I was excited to test this. At the back of my shop, I connected the camera and locator.
We located a drainage pipe, powered on the unit, set the LED lights to level 5, started recording, and pushed the camera about 80 feet into the pipe. The camera advanced smoothly without resistance.
Using the Locator to Find the Camera Probe Position
The locator has a sensitivity knob and near/far buttons. Since we didn’t know the camera’s position, I started with the far mode and set sensitivity to about halfway.
🛠️ Steps to Locate the Sewer Camera Underground:
-
Start with Far Mode
Set the locator to far mode with the sensitivity knob at mid-level to cover a wide detection range. -
Walk in the General Direction
Slowly move in the direction the drain camera was pushed while monitoring the signal strength. -
Adjust Sensitivity Based on Signal
As the signal increases, reduce sensitivity to hone in on the exact spot. -
Switch to Near Mode
After locating the approximate area, switch to near mode for fine-tuning. -
Pinpoint the Camera Location
Lower the sensitivity gradually while moving carefully. When the signal peaks at low sensitivity, the plumbing camera is directly beneath you. -
Mark the Ground Spot
Use a marker or spray paint to identify the exact location for digging or further inspection.
Real-World Field Tests - Water Well Inspection
I opted not to send the camera through sewage pipes but used it in a drainage pipe for this review. The camera and locator functioned excellently. Later, I was called to a job perfect for testing the Sanyipace drain inspection camera.
Descending into the borehole, the camera delivered impressive high-quality images. The screen shows voltage and meter readings in the upper left, switchable between meters and feet. The time and date display at the lower right.
Inside the well, we inspected about 50-year-old galvanized casing, heavily corroded beyond its expected lifespan. The LED light reflections on the water surface were clear.
About 20 feet down, we found an aquifer releasing water into the borehole. The camera’s image quality was superb. Another water-bearing zone was visible with crystal-clear clarity. I was very satisfied with the camera’s performance. Rust flakes from the deteriorated casing were visible on the rock walls inside the borehole.
