The Ideal Drain Camera Package to Get Started
The Starter Drain Camera Pack gives plumbers a practical way to add professional CCTV drain inspections to their services without investing in features or additional camera heads they may not yet need.
Whether you’re investigating blocked drains, checking pipe condition, locating faults or preparing repair quotes, the package provides the essential equipment needed to get clear footage and identify where problems are located underground.
It’s a straightforward setup for NZ maintenance plumbers, drain specialists and plumbing businesses wanting a dependable camera system that’s ready for everyday work.
Built Around The Monster 21mm Drain Camera
At the heart of the Starter Drain Camera Pack is The Monster 21mm Drain Camera, designed for reliable inspections in 90mm–150mm pipes.
The Monster includes:
- 21mm HD 1080P Self-Levelling Camera with Built-In 512Hz Sonde
- Sapphire Glass Camera Lens
- 50m × 6.8mm Kink-Resistant Fibreglass Push Rod
- Single Battery System
- 13.3-inch 1080P IPS Monitor
- USB & SD Card Recording
- Wireless Keyboard
- Built-in Meter Counter
Simple to operate and built for regular use, it’s a practical choice for everyday maintenance plumbing and CCTV drain inspections.
Clear HD Drain Inspections
The 21mm HD 1080P self-levelling camera head keeps the picture upright as the camera moves through the pipe, making inspection footage easier to view and interpret.
It can help you identify problems such as:
- Blockages
- Tree Root Intrusion
- Cracked or Damaged Pipes
- Damaged Joints
- Obstructions
- General Pipe Condition
Clearer inspection footage makes it easier to show customers what is happening inside their drainage system, document the condition of the pipe and recommend the appropriate next step.
Locate Underground Faults More Accurately
The included RIDGID Scout Locator works with the camera’s built-in 512Hz sonde, allowing you to locate the camera underground and determine where an issue is positioned along the line.
This can help reduce unnecessary excavation, improve repair planning and give you more accurate information when quoting drainage work.
Instead of relying on inspection footage alone, you can identify both what the problem is and where it is located.
Built for Everyday Plumbing Work
The Starter Drain Camera Pack includes the core features plumbers need for routine CCTV drain inspections.
Features include:
- HD Video Recording
- USB & SD Card Recording
- Wireless Keyboard
- 50m Push Rod
- Single Battery Operation

- Rugged Construction
- 512Hz Locating Capability
It’s a dependable setup for plumbers who need professional inspection equipment without stepping straight into a larger multi-camera system.
Two Interchangeable Skids Included
Two interchangeable skids help protect the camera head and keep it positioned more steadily while travelling through larger pipes.
Included sizes:
- 46mm Skid
- 78mm Skid
Choose the skid that best suits the pipe you’re inspecting and swap between them as required.
Compatible with the Batteries You Already Use
Choose the battery cradle that matches the tools you already carry.
Compatible battery platforms include:
- Milwaukee
- Makita
- DeWalt
That means there’s no need to introduce a completely separate battery platform just to run your drain camera.
Practical Backup Components to Reduce Downtime
Drain inspection equipment earns its keep when it’s out on the job, so the Starter Drain Camera Pack also includes practical backup components.
These include:
- Diagnostic Test Cable
- Spare Control Box Cable
- Spare Battery Cradle
Having essential backup parts available can help you diagnose problems quickly and reduce unnecessary downtime when something needs attention.
