Just as important as the interior when purchasing a new home, the exterior grounds (above and below ground) must come under careful inspection and this includes the sewage system. Trusted reputable inspectors with adequate cameras and equipment can prevent costly and surprising damage when using high quality standard block cameras. According to http://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/plumbing/repair-a-sewer-main/ , homeowners could spend on average upwards of $4,000 on unnecessary repairs that if caught earlier would have saved owners money.  Sony’s consistent integrity and reliability in the camera market holds true with their miniature block cameras, the FCB-IX11A and FCB-EX11D. Incorporating a 1/4-type EXview HAD CCD™ sensor, the FCBIX11A is equipped with a 10x optical zoom lens that can provide a 120x zoom ratio when combined with the digital zoom.  Automatic exposure got a boost with this model including the newly added Zoom trigger and interval mode as well as the Spot AE mode to optimize the brightness within a specific area.  Measuring only 1-9/16” x 1-13/16” x 2-5/8” inches and weighing less than 3.5 ounces this miniature block camera proves great things do come in small packages. With commercial buildings being erected every day, construction companies must be under careful scrutiny for adequate copper, PVC and various other types of piping.  For the safety of all who enters a building, installation of piping must be checked for the tiniest pinhole leak and the FCBEX11D is the perfect camera to snake into them for inspection. The new ultra-compact and lightweight FCB-EX11D camera is specifically designed for easy integration into mini-dome housings for superb observation.  Compared to the older FCB-IX11A and FCB-IX11AP having 470TVL, the latest FCBEX11D sports an impressive 530TVL for better viewing.  New to the 11D is video motion detection that sends an alarm signal to users via the camera’s control interface using the VISCA protocol.  Like the 11A, this miniature block camera fits in tight spaces measuring 1 7/16” x 1 5/8” x 2 3/8” inches.
