Audio and video for the jobsite, workshop and home
This category covers jobsite radios, inspection cameras and speakers for building sites and workshops. The jobsite radios stand up to dust, knocks and moisture, and the inspection cameras reach where the eye cannot. The category also has home cinema and HiFi accessories, such as HDMI switches with audio extractors, adapters and banana plugs for speaker cable.
Many jobsite radios are part of a battery system and run on the same batteries as power tools from the same manufacturer.
Applications
- Music and news on site: tough jobsite radios for building sites, workshops and warehouses.
- Inspecting hard-to-reach spaces: inspection cameras for pipes, drains, engines and wall cavities.
- Sound in the workshop and warehouse: portable Bluetooth speakers built for tougher environments.
- Home cinema and HiFi: HDMI switches that extract audio to an amplifier or soundbar, video adapters and gold-plated banana plugs.
How to choose the right equipment
Jobsite radio: choose a radio that takes the same batteries as your power tools, so one charger covers everything. Check the IP rating if the radio will stand outdoors or in dust, and choose DAB+ or Bluetooth to suit how you listen.
Inspection camera: the probe diameter decides how narrow a pipe or hole the camera can enter, and the cable length how far it reaches. For work in pipes and engines, lighting in the camera head and a waterproof head are the key features.
Home cinema: an HDMI switch with audio extractor solves the problem when a projector, TV stick or older TV lacks a proper audio output.
Frequently asked questions about audio and video
Do the jobsite radios work with power tool batteries?
Yes, many jobsite radios are part of a battery system and run on the same batteries as power tools from the same manufacturer. Batteries do not work across brands, so choose a radio in the same system as the tools you already own.
Can I record video with an inspection camera?
Yes, most inspection cameras can record video and take still images, usually straight to a memory card. That makes it easy to document damage or show a customer what was found in a pipe or wall.
Which inspection camera is right for drains and pipes?
Drains and pipes need a camera with a waterproof head, lighting and a cable long enough for the pipe run. The head diameter must be smaller than the pipe's internal diameter.
How do I get audio from a projector or TV stick to an amplifier?
An HDMI switch with audio extractor connects between the source and the screen and outputs the audio via optical Toslink, coax or RCA to the amplifier or soundbar. It works even when the screen has no audio output of its own.
