how do I snake the camera into the drain

Good question: vertically, it is easier to do because of gravity I just twist the wire and it falls easily but horizontally, it is much harder to do...I am trying to find a crack in a pool line and I am considering wrapping a (ground)wire around the camera wire inorder to push the camera through the line and if that dosn't work I will try to just tape a solid (plyable) wire to the camera wire inorder to "Push" the camera wire along the line. I will never be able to coil up the camera wire into the box anymore but that's OK if I can view the entire length of line. The camera has worked well in a toilet, it found a toy last night, lodged in the back of the toilet tube. Good luck!

i used this camera in a well. used a fishing sinker to weight it down. depends on the drain. find the cleanout. if you flush the toilet the water would probably pull it down. or an electrical fish tape would probably work if you tape it on and fish it through. the built in light lit things up better than i thought it would. good luck

Attach it to a flat metal snake with zip ties and some tape over the ties to prevent snags. Then feed them into the pipe. I purchased the flat snake through amazon as well. Hope this helps. Mine had no connector in the middle? Just an insulator which is also water proof.

The wire is pretty flimsy, so it helps to tape, or cable tie the camera to something a little stiffer, like a pipe snake or a piece of small diameter plastic tubing (like PEX). Do not submerge this camera at or past the plastic connection in the middle!!!!!

Would not use a rotary plumbing snake the cam seals aren't strong enough. The other answer sounds like they used a electrical wire fish tape might work if there are NO sharp bends in the pipe

It is on the side of the camera above the strap under the black plastic square piece. Lift up the black piece and plug in there.

Thank you for your inquiry.No, the camera doesn't have a side entrance for conduit. It has a little slit on the base that you can pull the cable out of.

On the front of the camera there is a grey switch that says "tape eject". Activate this switch and the camera shouuld open up and expose the slot for you to insert the tape.

I wound up using a piece of pipe shoved into the handle with the other end resting between my belt and stomach. This worked well. I use a fairly heavy video camera and trying o hold it just with your hand/arm was just too hard.

Detach the floating part from the lower part (squeeze and slide out). My camera has a a little notch to thread a strap through, then you pull it back in on itself. Just like any other camera strap.

On the vertical edge of the camera, next to the shooting button and dial wheel, there are two rectangular/oblong doors that can be levered up at one end by a fingernail. Do this gently as each door is connected to the camera by one small tab. Very faintly imprinted on one door is 'A/V Out DIgital'. This is the one to open. The connector is inside.

The camera must be plugged into an outlet. I drilled a hole in the ceiling of my breezway and ran the cord into an extension cord plugged into the garage attic. this will prevent someone from unplugging it.

I had the same problem so I called Bell and Howell and reached a tech person who said the door is very tight to keep water out. To open, hold the camera bottom facing up, in your left hand with your left thumb over the upside down letters "CEPC' and next to the release lever. With your right hand slide the small release lever down and at the same time using a lot of force press down hard with your left thumb and sliding the battery door to the left. It's not easy and may take you several attempts before you are successful.

Leslie, very easy to go to HD or Lowes and get a drain plug and install one into the container your self. it would take a small hole and a drill to put in the hole. No big deal at all to do.

Get 2 feet of 1 inch dish washer drain hose. Cut into 4 inch pieces. Slide on with liquid soap. Rinse. Let dry. Work out! It is good to see some of us work out enough to wear out our equipment!!

As far as I know, you don't; at least not without drilling or cutting. In addition, I discovered a new issue. Although there is a grid over the entrance to the downspout, small sticks, pieces of leaf, etc. can get in and settle to the bottom. When you open the spigot to drain water, this detritus is drawn toward the spigot, eventually blocking it. As there is no removable top, and you can't extend your arm to the bottom of the tank to clean it out, the solution is to unscrew the handle to the spigot, then thread a pipe cleaner through to clean it out. Not difficult, but should be unnecessary, and is a pain in the b---. As far as I know, you don't; at least not without drilling or cutting. In addition, I discovered a new issue.

Look at the lower camera portion that rotates and moves. The white ring that surrounds it is stationary. If you grip it and turn it counter-clockwise, it will screw off. Once that ring is off, look around the edge of the circuit board and you'll see the two DIP switches on one side near the perimeter. Use a small screwdriver or a toothpick or something to move the switches back and forth. Took me awhile to find those things, too. The directions weren't much help. Pretty simple once you find them.

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

Simply remove the battery compartment cover on the camera. Store it in the extension of the grip that sticks up. Take the battery out of the camera. Place the extension that you just stored the cover into the camera. Use the tripod screw to secure the connection. Put batteries in the grip and you're good to go.

Hi there. You plug it into a USB port on your computer. The bottom of the camera slides open and USB connector pops out. Hope this helps.

I pull mine out by the front camera. Enough to slide my finger in and pop it out
