Sewer systems are essential infrastructure, but they are often out of sight. When a pipe cracks, becomes clogged, or develops a leak, the consequences can quickly become serious: system malfunctions, pollution, emergency repairs, or high repair costs.
At Multinnov, we have designed the Roview3 to address these on-site challenges. This CCTV inspection robot allows users to explore the interior of sewer systems, view anomalies in real time, and generate actionable data for maintenance.
Our goal is simple: to help professionals conduct faster, safer, and more accurate inspections without having to physically enter the pipe.
Innovative technology for network inspection
Camera inspection, or CCTV, is based on a simple principle: inserting an inspection camera into the pipeline system to assess the internal condition of the pipes. This method makes it possible to detect defects without having to cut open the road or immediately undertake major construction work.
With the Roview3, we go beyond the capabilities of a standard camera. We offer a wireless inspection robot designed to operate in damp, confined, and hard-to-reach environments.
The Roview3 is equipped with a 4K30i camera, 1080p video feed, 16,000-lumen lighting, and a battery life of over two hours. It is also fully waterproof and controlled wirelessly. These specifications are listed on the official Multinnov product page.
This combination addresses a very specific need: to obtain a clear, stable, and usable image, even in dark or partially filled pipes.
Another key feature that sets the Roview3 apart is its buoyancy. While some traditional carts may be limited by water or mud, the Roview3 can both drive and float, allowing it to adapt to real-world terrain conditions.
A powerful tool for infrastructure diagnostics
An accurate diagnosis depends first and foremost on the quality of the data collected. In a sewer system, there can be many types of defects: cracks, tree roots, sediment buildup, blockages, water infiltration, structural damage, or faulty connections.
The Roview3 allows these anomalies to be viewed in real time. The operator controls the robot remotely, monitors the inspection via video feed, and can document observations directly in the field.
This approach has several advantages:
- close inspection of the inside of the pipes;
- faster detection of visible anomalies;
- photo and video capture;
- tracking of distance traveled;
- better tracking of service calls.
The Roview3 measurement interface provides access to essential information such as distance traveled and inspection time. It also allows users to capture photos and videos in real time to document findings.
For operators, this traceability is essential. It makes it easier to prepare reports, monitor the condition of infrastructure, and compare the results of different inspections.
The Roview3 is particularly well-suited for sewer systems, as well as industrial pipelines and environments where direct human access is limited. It enables a transition from simple spot checks to a more structured maintenance strategy.
In other words, inspection is no longer limited to simply “seeing” a defect. It allows us to locate it, document it, and incorporate it into a maintenance decision.
Technical, economic, and safety benefits
The primary benefit of the Roview3 is safety. Sewer systems are confined spaces where human intervention can be risky. By sending an inspection robot into the pipe, operators remain at a safe distance, working under safer conditions.
Reducing human exposure is a major challenge for professionals. It minimizes risks associated with gases, humidity, difficult access, or unstable environments.
The second benefit is operational. Thanks to its wireless control and rugged design, the Roview3 simplifies inspection preparation. Multinnov notes that wireless control reduces the logistics required compared to certain traditional methods, while enabling real-time monitoring.
This helps operators become more efficient:
- faster inspections;
- less heavy equipment to mobilize;
- data that can be used immediately;
- better planning of interventions.
From an economic standpoint, the benefits are just as significant. A reliable inspection makes it possible to pinpoint exactly which areas require work. Rather than proceeding blindly or undertaking extensive repairs, teams can prioritize the areas that are actually affected.
This helps reduce unnecessary costs, minimize operational disruptions, and extend the lifespan of infrastructure.
Finally, the Roview3’s image quality enhances the reliability of the diagnosis. The 4K30i camera captures every detail of the pipes with precision, making it easier to analyze and detect critical issues.
For wastewater treatment professionals, this level of detail is a key advantage. It helps them anticipate failures, plan maintenance more effectively, and justify technical decisions to stakeholders.
With the Roview3, we have developed a solution designed to modernizethe visual inspection of sewer systems. This CCTV inspection robot combines wireless control, a 4K30i camera, powerful lighting, complete waterproofing, a battery life of over two hours, and the ability to float.
For operators, the benefits are clear: greater safety, greater precision, better traceability, and better control over maintenance costs.
At Multinnov, we are convinced that the future of ITV lies in solutions capable of adapting to real-world conditions. The Roview3 is designed with this in mind: to provide professionals with a reliable, efficient, and non-intrusive tool to better diagnose their networks and make the right decisions at the right time.
