Milwaukee® Pipeline Inspection 4+

Things need to be added and changed

Been running cameras for a very long time. This camera is great except for the fact you can’t pause and resume the recording while you have to go do locates. Since you can’t pause the video I’m having to give people their video inspectons sometimes with a recording that’s 20 minutes long. I know you can cut part of the video but that brings be to my second problem with this. You can only cut the video one time. And it’s backward. What you “cut” is what actually stays on the video and everything else is deleted. If you have multiple petals in the pipe that need to be located and you have to locate than all the recording ends up being almost an hour long and you can only cut the video one time. Being able to pause and resume the recording while your doing your inspection like ridgids cameras do that would make everyone’s life a lot easier. Please consider this and update your stuff so we camera guys can pause the recording while locating. You might also get a lot more business with people purchasing more of your cameras if you add this to the app/ monitor. I’ve talked to many many people and just because you can’t pause the video is what keeps them buying ridgids cameras. So I highly suggest you fix this problem.

Thank you for your feedback! Be sure to download the latest Hub firmware version 1.4.0.3 from milwaukeetool.com. This not only introduces Pause Mid-Recording but other improvements including Over the Air updates which allow us to continue to optimize the program.

I’ve been using Ridgid cameras for a long time and have recently started using the Milwaukee 120’ camera and absolutely love the simplicity and the line trace feature. I do have 2 issues….
1, not being able to pause and resume recording makes for either long videos that I have to store and/or send to my clients, or spend more time in the field locating areas then recording video to mitigate the size of files.
2, The video editing (trimming) only lets you edit once and it only saves the portion you trim. It would be much better if you could do multiple edits and maybe save those edits as separate files so you can still resort back to the original full videos if needed.
I know the product is newer and still evolving, but until it is on par with the competition when it comes to those features we will invest in another and more than likely go back to using the Ridgid cameras.

New to Milwaukee

I have ran Rigid for years, this was a learning curve. Our company didn’t purchase any of the monitors, since I already had a iPad they asked if I could use it. The camera we started off with is the smallest line you can go. It say 1-1/2”, I’ll explain 1-1/2”. ABS , PVC, & cast iron ( no body uses C.I.). Are the only one it will go down in. 1-1/2” DWV, will not make it around a 90. The picture is very high quantity. The locator works very well also. The foot counter, well that needs more attention from the manufacturer. The real doesn’t like to turn when you pull on the optic line, I have to move the reel with my other hand so the counter works.

As of right now, Milwaukee doesn’t make a real small camera, so that will be bought through Rigid. The next purchase will be the stiff optic cable by Milwaukee. I read one of the reviews and it said that you couldn’t pause from the screen. I can pause on the screen of my iPad, so it looks like they fixed that issue. I would highly recommend Milwaukee cameras.
