If you fancy a DIY solution, you could attach one of Mr Maplin's cheap [1]
cameras such ashttp://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=104962&doy=18m6to a
drain rod, and stuff it into the pipe - with your end of the cable plugged
into a portable TV. [It comes with 10 metres of cable, and longer ones are
available - but you'd have to make relevant bits of the camera plus the
electrical connections water- (and other things!) -proof by binding them
with self amalgamating tape, or somesuch. It's not really designed for
unprotected outdoor use - let along being submerged in God knows what - but
would probably work for long enough to get a one-off result if you took
reasonable precautions.]

[1] Currently 40 quid, but often on offer at 20 quid


Google this group for this subject - it has been covered in detail a
couple of times previously. My dad built a lego vehicle and attached a
Maplin camera. Ended up with a really good system. All good fun!
