Do you provide depth counters on your underwater camera?

Q: Do you provide depth counters on your underwater camera?

A: Yes, Depth measurement is a critical feature for professional underwater and borehole inspections, which is why most of our cable reels come equipped with a built‑in digital depth counter. This device accurately tracks how much cable has been deployed, giving you a precise reading of the camera's position inside the well, or borehole.

Our depth counters are designed for high accuracy, with an error margin of less than 1% – meaning that for every 100 meters of cable, the reading will be off by less than 1 meter. This level of precision is essential for pinpointing the exact location of cracks, blockages, corrosion, or casing damage. When you need to return to a specific defect for repair or re‑inspection, having an accurate depth record saves time and eliminates guesswork.

The depth measurement is displayed directly on the monitor in real time, so the operator can see the depth alongside the live video feed. No need to look at a separate device or manually mark the cable. This integration makes it easy to record depth data in inspection reports, annotate videos, or guide repair crews to the exact spot.

Our depth counters are available on both manual cable reels (push‑rod systems) and electric winch reels. For electric winch models, the depth counter works automatically as the winch deploys or retrieves the cable. For manual reels, the counter is triggered by the rotation of the reel drum, ensuring accurate readings even when the cable is moved by hand.

Key benefits of our depth counter system:

Pinpoint defect locations – record exact depth of every anomaly.

Improve inspection efficiency – no need to re‑scan large sections.

Simplify reporting – depth data is automatically available for video overlays or written logs.

Reduce operator error – digital readout eliminates manual measuring mistakes.

Whether you are inspecting a 200m deep well, a long municipal sewer line, or a complex industrial pipeline, our depth counter gives you confidence in your findings.
