English term or phrase: Camera drainage hole
Hi everybody,

In a feature specification list for a tablet I have to translate the above phrase.

The problem is I cannot understand what this is for. From a client provided picture it is a tiny hole but I don't have any more info.

Can someone kindly help? Many thanks in advance.

caméra d'inspection pour trou de drainage


Explanation:
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.

Asker: 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?
