General DCS1600HP Video Borescope 1m Probe 620x480

Product Description

The GENERAL DCS1600HP is a video borescope designed for visual inspection in hard-to-reach areas across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service applications. At its core, the system pairs a 1-meter (39-inch) flexible probe with a 4-inch TFT LCD display, delivering 620 x 480 pixel resolution for clear, real-time imaging. The probe head measures 0.22 inches in diameter and 0.78 inches in length, allowing it to navigate tight conduits, heat exchangers, drain lines, and confined mechanical spaces. The unit runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery included in the package, and ships with an 8 GB SD memory card for on-site recording of video and still images. Licensed trades use this tool for inspection, documentation, and diagnostic reporting without disassembly.

The DCS1600HP suits residential and light commercial inspection tasks where a compact, self-contained video inspection system is required. Typical applications include HVAC heat exchanger inspection, plumbing drain and pipe inspection, electrical conduit routing verification, and mechanical equipment diagnosis. The system is built around the H16 Console of the DCS1600 Recording Video Inspection System and uses the P16181HP probe. A 110-degree mirrored probe viewing tip is included, extending the effective field of view beyond the standard 60-degree camera angle for lateral inspection inside pipes and enclosures.

Installation Notes

The DCS1600HP is a handheld inspection instrument and does not require permanent installation. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians should power down and de-energize any equipment before inserting the probe near live electrical components or pressurized systems. Do not force the probe through bends tighter than the minimum bend radius of the cable. Inspect the probe and cable jacket for damage before each use to prevent contamination of the inspection environment.
