You must be strong Mick to hold a 65 foot pole in one hand and a screen in another.

Will the signal be strong enough to work 65 foot down though?

I can see people being accused of being peeping toms just imagine someone just out of shower then a pole comes up to bedroom window with camera on it .

sounds like a waste of money and time to me.so let me get this right.


youll clean the windows at say 50ft,bring the pole down,attach a camera,haul it back up to the window to check whether its clean?if theres still a bit of dirt on you ll bring it down again,haul it back up and clean again?

at that height i wouldnt bother.just scrub and rinse as best you can.

No Daz, you clean the gutters, then get a 50ft ladder and climb up and check 'em.  ;D

Go-Pro is the way to go for quality but expensive cameras for inspection.

Yes i have a long row of windows above a lip 65ft up where i cant see nothing! But having a camera on top of pole would give me an eye which would help me out big time.

Could you not ask for permission to inspect them from the inside ?

Post by: Mick Kent on September 24, 2014, 10:55:08 pm
Yes thats what i have to do go up check then come back down to redo if needed then go up and check again which is a pain but with a camera i wouldnt need to worry wasting time.
