Introduction
VideoScanner will save you time and money by eliminating guesswork, rework, needless holes, and costly broken drill bits and saw blades. It will precisely locate wood, metal studs, joists, pipes, conduit, or rebar while continuously detecting the presence of hot electrical wires. Three selectable modes ensure precision: normal, DeepScan, and metal. The DeepScan technology penetrates concrete, plywood, drywall, paneling, and flooring. Metal detection mode helps you find heating and plumbing pipes, inner-wall exhaust vents, and ducting.

Eliminate guesswork by precisely locating rebar, wood or metal studs, joists, pipes or conduit while continuously detecting the presence of hot unshielded electrical wires.
- Finds metal pipes up to 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) deep in walls.
- Finds rebar up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) deep in concrete.
- AC feature continuously detects "hot" electrical wires (unshielded).
- Patented TruCal» automatic calibration ensures accuracy.
- Oversized LCD display and audio indicator assure accuracy - no guesswork.
