caméra d'inspection pour trou de drainage
My understanding is that it is a camera used by plumbers to look down drainages holes so they can see what the clogging or problem is.
So there might be a word missing in the english but I'm pretty sure this is what is being referred to.

| Hi Jonathan, thanks for your answer. Actually a word may be missing due to the author's poor writing skills in English. However do you think a tablet is commonly used for checking drainage holes? |
