A downhole tool comprising:
- a body member;
- at least one slip member;
- at least one packer member;
- at least one drag member;
- and
- a camera mounted on or near at least one of the members to provide video data relating to the condition of the member to enable the member to be monitored.

A method for sensing the performance of a downhole tool having a body member, at least one slip member, at least one packer member, and at least one drag member;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- disposing a sensor at or near at least one of the members;
- sensing information relating to the performance of the member;
- and
- transmitting the information to the surface to enable personnel on the surface to change parameters to improve the performance of the tool.
