High-Performance Manhole Inspection Camera
The periodic inspection of manholes’ structural integrity is crucial to prevent costly and potentially hazardous damages. However, the traditional method of sending operators in for direct visual manhole inspection can quickly become a big expenditure and also inefficiently allocates resources that are often scarce and required for other important tasks.
It is precisely to tackle this problem that a pole manhole inspection system has been developed, a powerful tool which allows a single unspecialized operator to inspect up to 80 manholes per day. Furthermore, the comprehensive video data captured during the manhole inspection can be offloaded to external analysts rather than being analyzed onsite by the camera operator, allowing for maximum uptime in the field. The RV-MAX 360 manhole camera utilizes state-of-the-art technology to provide high-resolution video and images of the manhole's internal condition. Equipped with an industrial-grade camera, the manhole inspection system can withstand harsh underground environments and provide clear, detailed footage. The manhole inspection camera also has built-in LED lights to ensure visibility even in dark and poorly illuminated conditions.
Reducing Expenses and Traffic Disturbances with our Manhole Inspection Cameras
Inspecting from the surface avoids confined space entry, reduces the impact on traffic and lets a single operator run the inspection. Footage can be coded later by analysts, so field time is spent capturing, not reviewing.
See the RV-MAX 360 camera for full specifications.
Additionally, the remote coding of manhole inspection videos according to NASSCO (National Association of Sewer Service Companies) standards is now available. This service enables contractors to receive payment more quickly from their clients and provides greater scalability, as they no longer need to train and maintain a dedicated internal resource for this task. Overall, the use of advanced manhole inspection systems and remote coding services greatly streamline the manhole inspection process, reduce costs, and improve efficiency
RV-MAX 360 or RV-MAX 360S: which camera for your manholes?
Both cameras inspect a manhole from the surface, so crews avoid confined space entry. The RV-MAX 360S keeps the full RV-MAX 360 workflow and adds measurement-grade precision, live depth and true submersion. Choose the 360S when you need a 3D model with subcentimeter precision, a depth reading in the field, or a camera tested 6 ft underwater for one hour.

How a manhole inspection works with RinnoVision
- Capture from the surface. The operator lowers the camera on the pole or the tripod strap and records the full structure in 360°, without entering the manhole.
- Measure and document. With the RV-MAX 360S, depth is read live and the recorded 3D model can be measured afterwards.
- Review and code. Footage is managed in RinnoView and RinnoCloud, and can be coded later by an analyst, so field time is spent capturing.
3D manhole scanning
The RV-MAX 360S builds a 3D model of the manhole with subcentimeter precision. The model is measurement-ready for Level 2 MACP™ assessments and exportable to the open .PLY format. See the RV-MAX 360S 3D inspection camera for details.

“Great product and highly regarded by industry members.”
Josh Onstott, B&F Contrating, Inc.
“With the acquisition of the RV PRO, we have won all along the line. Ease of use and all the accessories suited for multiple uses. A clear, 360-degree image in a single shot. The inspection time has been reduced a lot and the analysis of the videos has become much easier due to the sharpness of the image. ”
Cédric Fougères, Ville de Montréal
“We are satisfied with its performance. Among other things, the RV-PRO 360 kit allowed us to discover that an element everyone thought was an AP was in fact a technical void under an old silo. The space was much larger than an underground chamber and the images were of good quality without additional lighting. With the kit, the inspection of this technical space was possible without having to take confined space entry procedures.”
Gaétan Caron, GDI Géoradar Détection
“Simple and easy to use. The RV-PRO 360 has been a great addition to our maintenance operations.”
Scott Tam, C.E.T., EP, City of Timmins
“Our company is happy to recommend the RinnoVision RV-PRO 360 as an excellent manhole inspection camera system. We have utilized these cameras to speedily and efficiently perform inspections on thousands of manholes. The quality of video along with the reliability and ease operation of these units have proven to be the favorite amongst our crews. The RV-PRO 360 is a great company asset that allows us to produce a high quality end product for our customers while remaining very competitive and productive.”
Dave Gonyea, C3 Mainline Inspections Inc.
“The RV-PRO 360 has been a great tool to help us save valuable time and money on job sites while also significantly improving our operators’ efficiency.”
Kevin Hastings, Video Inspection Specialists
“Truly an exceptional product.”
Martin Grenon, Ville de Saguenay

1. What is a manhole inspection camera?
A manhole inspection camera is a device equipped with cutting-edge technology used to visually inspect the interior of manholes or underground structures. It consists of a camera mounted on the end of a telescopic pole, allowing operators to extend the camera into the manhole without physically entering it. By providing a swift and efficient inspection process, these wireless inspection cameras enhance productivity and reduce overall project expenses.
2. How does a manhole inspection camera work?
The manhole inspection camera is equipped with a camera at the end of the extendable pole. The camera captures images or videos of the manhole's interior, which are transmitted to a monitor or a handheld device for real-time viewing. The telescopic pole enables operators to adjust the camera's position and capture detailed visuals.
3. What are the benefits of using a manhole inspection camera?
Using a manhole inspection camera offers several benefits. It eliminates the need for personnel to physically enter the manhole, reducing safety risks. The extendable pole allows for easy access to deep or hard-to-reach areas. The high-resolution camera provides clear visuals, helping to detect structural damage, blockages, or other issues in the manhole without disassembling it.
4. What types of problems can be detected with a manhole inspection camera?
A pole manhole camera can detect various problems, including cracks, leaks, sediment buildup, debris, root intrusion, pipe misalignment, corrosion, or any other defects affecting the integrity or functionality of the manhole or its connecting pipes. Due to its distinct features, this cutting-edge device is a cost-effective, convenient, and safe solution to all professional manhole inspection needs.
5. Who uses a manhole inspection camera
Manhole cameras are commonly used by professionals in the field of infrastructure maintenance and inspection. Municipal authorities, utility companies, engineering firms, and sewer or sanitation departments utilize these manhole inspection cameras for routine distant inspections, maintenance, and troubleshooting of manholes. Contractors and construction companies involved in infrastructure projects also use manhole cameras for accurate assessments and documentation purposes.
Sewer inspection contractors, municipal public works departments, water utilities and engineering firms use manhole inspection cameras for condition assessment programs, rehabilitation planning with before and after records, and asset inventories.
