The DP-Q100 QuickView is Dana Pipe’s rapid-survey pole camera, designed to give inspection crews immediate visibility into manholes, wet wells, tanks, and mainline pipes from above ground — without the time and labor of setting up a crawler.
Equipped with a 2MP Full HD camera head offering 360° continuous pan and 270° tilt, plus four dimmable high-power LED arrays, the Q100 delivers clear, detailed imagery even in deep and dark infrastructure. Its carbon-fiber telescopic pole extends up to 6 meters, allowing operators to survey from street level safely.
Ideal Use Cases
The DP-Q100 is the go-to tool when you need fast visual confirmation without full crawler deployment:
- Pre-inspection scouting — Determine pipe condition before committing to a crawler run, saving hours on site.
- Manhole condition surveys — Inspect chamber walls, benching, and incoming/outgoing connections in seconds.
- Post-cleaning verification — Quickly confirm cleaning results without relaunching a robot.
- Storm water and CSO outfalls — Survey large outfalls where crawler access is impractical.
- Tank and vessel inspection — Inspect above-ground and underground tanks from hatches.
System Features
Telescopic Carbon-Fiber Pole
The 6-meter telescopic pole locks in seconds and weighs under 2kg, giving one operator reach into virtually any standard manhole without extra equipment. Integrated internal cable routing keeps setup clean and tangle-free.
Articulating Camera Head
The precision PTZ head rotates continuously 360° in the pan axis and tilts 270°, enabling operators to look straight down the pipe run, up at the manhole cover, or side-to-side at lateral connections — all from the surface.
Sunlight-Readable Touchscreen
The 8-inch HD touchscreen display is engineered for bright outdoor conditions, with an anti-glare coating, intuitive on-screen controls, and one-touch recording/photography. Reports and media can be saved directly to the built-in 256GB SSD or exported via USB and Wi-Fi.
All-Day Battery Life
The high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack delivers up to 8 hours of continuous use, supporting a full shift of survey work without charging. Hot-swappable battery packs are available for extended deployments.
Why Choose the DP-Q100?
For inspection teams, speed translates directly into more jobs completed and lower per-survey cost. The DP-Q100 QuickView is purpose-built to cut inspection setup time from minutes or hours to under a minute. When used alongside our crawler systems, it lets teams triage sites quickly — reserving crawler deployments for locations that demand full-length, high-detail inspection.
It is also an indispensable tool for emergency response: overflow events, blockage reports, and post-storm damage assessments all benefit from immediate visual feedback without the complexity of a full crawler launch.
