Identify the part from where you are lying
Read a fitting, valve or water heater label hands-free and get the matching part number without backing out from under the fixture.
Smart glasses for plumbers
On your back under a sink with a wrench above your head, trying to read a part number stamped on the underside of a valve body.
Plumbing puts technicians in positions where a phone is genuinely unusable — under fixtures, in crawlspaces, in trenches. A head-mounted camera goes where a handheld one cannot.
What it does on the job
Four things your plumbing crew stops doing one-handed.
Photograph rough-in before it is closed up
A complete hands-free record of pipe runs before drywall, so the callback three years from now starts with a picture instead of a guess.
Show the customer what you found
Capture the failed component from the technician’s own viewpoint. Approvals for additional work get easier when the customer can see the corroded flange themselves.
Get a second opinion from the shop
Live view for the hard diagnosis — backflow, boiler and commercial work where being wrong is expensive.
The hardware
One device, $349, no licence per seat.
The same RG-1 goes to every trade. What changes is the software configuration, which we set up for plumbing work before the units reach you.

Plumbing questions
Answers before you ask for them.
Will they survive a wet environment?
They handle normal jobsite splash and humidity, but this is not a submersible or washdown-rated device. We will be specific about the ingress rating before you order units.
Can I use them in a crawlspace with no light?
The camera needs light like any camera. Most crews use them alongside a headlamp, which the frame is designed not to conflict with.
How long does a charge last on a full route day?
Around 12 hours of mixed use on the frame, and the case holds roughly four more full charges. A typical route day does not need a mid-day charge.
Next step
Try it on one plumbing crew.
Two to five units, set up for plumbing work, on your real jobs for a month. No payment and no commitment — if it does not earn its place on the truck, tell us and we stop.
