The Testrix HD-PRO was designed for professionals who need to undertake pipe, drain and swer inspections with a more compact and fully integrated solution. Offering the latest in high definition (HD) camera technology and a lightweight all in one system, which is easy to transport and deploy, the Bluebird HD-PRO is loaded with features, which make inpsecting pipe faults and problems easy. The Bluebird HD-PRO redefines expensive and bulky sewer and drain pipe inspection systems, which are no longer the expensive and bulky systems they once were. Cutting edge technology and systems make this system an essential part of everyday inspection equipment that is an intelligent investment for correctly identifying blockages, and other problems in pipes and ducts.

 

In-built high definition capabilities give the Testrix Bluebird HD-PRO a competitive edge over many other inspection camera systems as the high definition videos and images offer greater details and contrast, bringing out even smaller details, which may not be easily seen using standard definition video. This is a lightweight system, easy to transport and requires little to no set up. The operator has to simply carry it to the job site, open the case, attach the camera head and deploy it into the pipe. A touch of a button will start high definition video recording and the whole inspection footage is displayed in real time on the 10.1 inch colour TFT display, which also displays menu items, and other information relating to the inspection, such as distance, time and date and status of key functions. In addition it's HD videos, it is also possible to save high defintion still images for inclusion into survey reports. This system also supports 8 levels of digital zoom, allowing the user to magnify small problems and highlight problem areas with ease, and with a built in rechargeable Li-Ion battery, the Bluebird HD-PRO will power on for approximately 4 hours on a single charge, but can also run on mains power if required. A built in QWERTY keyboard will permit the entry of text notes onto video and images for even greater levels of information relating to locations and types of problems or damages. This system also has integrated Wifi which will make connection to an app possible.

 

The push rod has been carefully designed and increased in diameter up to 6.3mm, which affords better control when traversing pipes, and reduces the risk of unnecessary cable breakages, which are both inconvenient and costly due to lost revenue and ongoing repair costs. This new push rod cable was extensively tested before it was specified for use in the Bluebird HD-PRO to ensure it could stand the rigours of day to day use, and that it would also be able to carry a HD signal along it's 30 metre length without interference from external sources. The push rod is built into the unit and easily pulled out to feed into the pipe, which minimises coiled up cable on the job site, reducing the risk of tripping and breakage.

 

Redesigning the camera head has resulted in a new HD camera head with a smaller footprint, but with an improvement in quality due to the latest Sony CMOS sensor, which offers low noise and a HD image quality. Waterproof to IP68 means that the camera can be submereged in water for inspection of waterlogged pipes, and the sapphire glass lens offers far greater scratch protection than the cheaper mineral glass used in some camera systems, which is fundmentally important when undertaking inspections in the presence of sediment, and grit. With a total length of 240mm including the spring, the camera head is large enough to be robust, but still small enough to navigate smaller runs of pipe. The camera head is  23mm in diameter and has a built in transmitting sonde, and is self-levelling.
