The Easy‑Sight X5‑HR4 is a directional, steerable float camera system designed for the inspection and survey of large‑diameter storm drains and culverts. Supplied by Synthotech, the HR platform provides controlled navigation in flowing water environments where conventional CCTV inspection systems are not suitable.
Engineered for pipes with diameters above 600 mm, the X5‑HR4 uses an Archimedes screw drive to propel and steer the float through the pipeline. This drive mechanism enables the system to move downstream efficiently while also allowing controlled upstream inspection when required. The steerable design helps operators guide the camera away from obstacles, improving inspection coverage and reducing the risk of becoming trapped.
The system supports cable lengths of over 320 meters, making it suitable for long‑range inspections in stormwater networks, culverts, and large conveyance assets. With a maximum speed of approximately 0.5 m/s downstream and 0.2 m/s upstream, the X5‑HR4 offers stable and predictable movement for detailed visual assessment of asset condition.
An optional sonar probe is available for underwater surveys, allowing inspection where visibility is limited or where the asset is fully submerged. This makes the Easy‑Sight X5‑HR4 a practical solution for water utilities requiring reliable inspection data from challenging hydraulic environments.
