 The camera, attached to a long, flexible [[Electrical cable|cable]], is fed through an [[Access point (disambiguation)|access point]] on the property, such as a drain cover or cleanout. It is then carefully maneuvered through the pipes until it reaches the point of damage or obstruction. As the camera moves through the [[Plumbing|plumbing system]], the captured footage is transmitted directly to a monitor or screen, giving the plumber a real-time view of the affected area. This live feed allows the professional to inspect the condition of the pipework, identify issues, and determine the exact location of any problem spots, such as blockages, cracks, or root intrusions.
 The camera can also be used in tandem with a [[Drain snake|plumber's snake]] (also known as a drain auger). After the camera has pinpointed the position of a blocking object, such as a buildup of debris or a foreign object, the plumber's snake can be fed into the same access point. The snake's flexible design allows it to navigate bends and tight spaces within the pipe, where it can then be used to break up or remove the blockage. This combination of tools ensures a highly efficient process, minimizing disruption and avoiding unnecessary excavation or pipe removal.

	Additionally, CCTV drain cameras are often paired with [[Hydro-jet cleaning\|hydro-jetting]] equipment. Once the camera has identified the extent of the obstruction, high-pressure water jets can be used to thoroughly clean the pipe interior, effectively removing any stubborn residues or buildup.
