Abstract: A pipeline inspection system may include a cable that may be configured to be directed into a conduit. The pipeline inspection system may further include a camera disposed on a distal end of the cable and operable to capture an image. The pipeline inspection system may further include a monitor including a display configured to display an image. The pipeline inspection system may further include an electronic processor that may be configured to receive a user input indicating a characteristic of the conduit. The electronic processor may be further configured to determine an image setting of the display based on the characteristic of the conduit. The electronic processor may be further configured to control the monitor to display the image on the display according to the image setting.

Abstract: A pipeline inspection device, including a rotatable drum housing a cable, where the cable is extendable into a pipe, a camera positioned on an end of the cable, and a hub housing electrical components of the pipeline inspection device and including a battery housing. A stand includes a mounting assembly having a first portion rotatably supporting the drum and a second portion supporting the hub within an interior of the drum, the second portion including a core, where the hub is removably coupled to the mounting assembly via the core. The hub is removably coupled to the mounting assembly by a first engagement member on the hub and a second engagement member on the core.

Abstract: A pipeline inspection device including a cable having a camera disposed on a distal end of the cable, where the camera and the cable are configured to be directed into a conduit. A first drum includes a rear wall, a front wall, and a side wall defining an interior, where the front wall has an opening providing access to the interior, and where the cable is disposed at least partially within the first drum. A stand supports the first drum, where the first drum is rotatably coupled to the stand. A hub houses electrical components of the pipeline inspection device. The hub is removably received in the interior of the first drum via the opening, where the hub is selectively removable from the first drum and insertable into an interior of a second drum.
