Brinley Buckley-Roberts, Head of Marketing at C.K Tools, explores the role camera technology can play in cable management.
Accessing cables in dark and confined spaces is an inevitable and important part of every electrician’s role. Whether its reaching wires behind walls, in ceilings or under floors, often it’s a case of venturing into the unknown and not quite knowing what’s in store.
Providing electricians with the tools they need to be able to inspect cables thoroughly in those hard-to-reach areas plays an important role for manufacturers, allowing potential hazards to be located and resolved.
Inspection cameras play a key part in inspecting hard to reach cables – giving electrical professionals eyes in spots they can’t see first-hand and allowing them to identify and diagnose electrical issues in less time, reducing the risk of injury and saving time and money.
And with recent advances in technology, these cameras are smaller and better resolution than ever before, allowing busy trade professionals to stream up close, high-resolution video from the smallest and hardest to reach areas, directly to their smartphone or computer.
One for the camera
Working with our panel of trade professionals to find the right solutions for electricians, we’ve harnessed this latest technology to develop C.K Tools’ Mighty Scope Inspection Camera – designed to tackle this very issue.
With C.K Tools’ trademark reliability, durability and innovation this compact but high-quality camera fills a gap in the market for a small accessible camera, measuring just 3.5” in length and 1” wide.
It’s on board Wi-Fi hotspot with a 15 m range provides the ultimate convenience while the dust- and waterproof design makes it the ideal general-purpose tool for inspection, cable pulling, maintenance and repairs.
Operated through a free and intuitive App, the camera live streams 720p HD video, with a digital zoom feature and adjustable bright white LED lights providing excellent clarity.
With a useful ‘always up’ viewing mode, the Mighty Scope’s ease of use makes light work of navigating difficult and tight spaces, ensuring that the image on the App is always the right way up, regardless of the camera position. Users can even store footage straight to their device camera roll.
The Mighty Scope kit includes an EVA padded case, the Mighty Scope IP67 rated camera, a hook and magnet, locking adaptor, gooseneck and thread adapters, USB-C charge cable and spare o-rings. It has been designed to pair perfectly with CK Tools’ Mightyrods cable routing range.
The C.K Tools Mighty Scope is an essential bit of kit for every electrician’s toolbox, designed to tackle the challenges of viewing and working in really tight spaces.
By helping electricians harness the latest technologies to inspect and diagnose electrical issues from a distance, manufacturers can assist with reducing the risk of injuries while helping their customers deliver a higher quality of work, more safely and in less time than before.
