Draper Inspection Camera

Inspect confined, inaccessible, and hard-to-reach spaces with clarity and confidence using the Draper IC100 Inspection Camera. Designed for professionals working across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, and building trades, the IC100 combines a waterproof camera probe, a generously sized 3.5" LCD screen, six super-bright LEDs, and a versatile multi-attachment system into a capable, self-contained inspection tool that is equally effective on the job site, in the workshop, and under the ground.

The 8.5mm camera head sits at the end of a 1m flexible inspection cable that bends and manoeuvres through pipework, wall cavities, engine bays, ductwork, and confined mechanical spaces that are impossible to access by sight or touch alone. The waterproof camera probe handles submerged applications with ease — flooded drain sections, wet pipe cavities, and water-filled inspection chambers can all be examined safely without risk of damage to the camera.

Six super-bright LEDs surround the lens and illuminate even the darkest internal spaces, while the 3.5" LCD screen provides a clear, live view of the camera feed that is large enough to read comfortably on site without squinting at a small display. The screen also supports full image capture, video recording, and playback functions, with footage stored directly to the included 8GB micro SD card — allowing technicians and surveyors to document findings, evidence faults, and share results with clients and colleagues.

Three interchangeable attachments — hook, mirror, and magnet — extend the IC100's capability beyond simple visual inspection. The hook retrieves snagged cables and debris, the mirror enables lateral viewing around internal corners and along pipe walls, and the magnet recovers small metallic objects such as screws, swarf, and fixings from inaccessible locations. Powered by four AA batteries for convenient field use and stored in a padded plastic carry case, the IC100 is a practical, versatile inspection camera ready for daily professional use.

A 3.5" Screen That Makes On-Site Inspection Practical

Screen size matters when you are working in a bright outdoor environment, holding a camera cable with one hand, and trying to read a live feed at the same time. The IC100's 3.5" colour LCD screen is large enough to give a clear, detailed view of the camera feed without needing to peer closely at a small display — making it significantly more practical for real-world use than compact inspection cameras with smaller screens. Image capture and video recording are accessible directly from the unit, keeping the whole workflow on site without needing to transfer files to a separate device to review or share findings.

Three Attachments — Three Extra Capabilities

The IC100 ships with three attachments that transform it from a viewing camera into a multi-function inspection and retrieval tool.

The mirror attachment deflects the camera's field of view sideways by 90 degrees, allowing inspection of pipe walls, lateral branch connections, and internal surfaces that cannot be viewed directly end-on with a forward-facing camera. The hook attachment enables the retrieval of snagged cables, fishing of new cables through conduit, and the manipulation of small objects inside inaccessible spaces. The magnet attachment recovers small ferrous items — screws, swarf, broken drill bits, and metal fixings — that have fallen into engines, pipework, drain channels, or confined cavities where fingers or tools cannot reach.

Flexible Cable for Access Where Other Tools Cannot Reach

The 1m flexible cable gives the IC100 enough reach to navigate domestic and commercial drain runs, engine bays, wall cavities, ductwork, and long internal passages, while the flexibility of the cable allows it to bend through corners and hold a position for stable camera placement. At 8.5mm in diameter, the probe passes through the majority of standard inspection access points, pipe diameters, and apertures encountered in residential and commercial building, plumbing, and mechanical applications.

Who Is the Draper IC100 For?

The IC100 is designed for professionals across a wide range of trades who need a dependable, capable inspection camera for everyday use. Plumbers and drainage engineers will value the waterproof probe for wet pipe and drain inspection. Heating engineers can assess flue conditions, heat exchanger integrity, and internal boiler components. Electricians and building contractors can inspect cable runs, roof voids, and stud wall cavities. Automotive technicians can examine engine internals, body cavities, and underbody components without disassembly. For professionals who also need a rechargeable, pistol-grip format with a slimmer 5.5mm probe, the Draper Expert BSPG100 offers an alternative configuration within the same range.
