Oiiwak Endoscope Camera with Light, 3.9mm Borescope Inspection Camera, 1080P HD 4.3" IPS Screen, 5FT Semi-Rigid Cable Bore Scope for Drain Pipe Wall Automotive Tools for Men, IP68 Waterproof, 6 LEDs

I got this to use around the house to see in small spaces, but also for a project of mine. I've been monitoring bird nests as part of the nest watch project and thought that this endoscope would let me see into nest boxes without opening the box. This has worked well, although I'm still working on my "aiming" ability. The picture quality is excellent and I can easily snap photos or take videos onto a small SD card. This has made nest monitoring a lot less intrusive (at least I hope so). I know this is kind of a specific thing, but I think it highlights ways this endoscope can be used for many different purposes. Here are more details about using it. The unit comes with a long, flexible tube that ends in a tiny camera surrounded by lights. I can manage the intensity of the light through a small, marked wheel on the side of the monitor box. The camera tube is connected to the monitoring base unit via a USB connector. I did find that once or twice, the USB connector wasn't plugged in all the way and the monitoring unit reported that it couldn't connect to the camera, but pushing the USB connector back into place solved that, so it's not a problem, just something I check now before I use the unit. Ilike the fact that I can dial down the intensity of the light so easily. The base unit is very simple to operate and shows clearly what is visible through the camera It comes with a small micro SD card and all I had to do was to plug in the unit to a USB charger to charge it up. I've used it several times without having to recharge. The photos I've taken have been clear, so it does exactly what I wanted it to do. I've even been able to use velcro straps and strap the camera to a long piece of bamboo to hold the camera head up to see what was in a nest about 15 feet up in a tree. This little camera and monitoring unit is one of the most useful things I've purchased in a long time. It works well, takes clear photos/videos, and is super easy. Basically, when I turn it on and get the camera positioned, all I have to do is press the little OK button to take photos as it defaults to take photos. If I want a video, I just use the right arrow to point to the video camera icon and press okay to start/stop. Very easy. And besides my pet project, I've found it useful to look behind heavy furniture or under things to find stuff like presence or absence of dog toys so I don't have to move something heavy only to find the toy was not there anyway. It's a great timesaver. And very good for looking behind walls to see if there is any water damage or problems with wiring. Great tool.

Excellent inspection camera. The HD image is very clear, the cable is flexible and durable, and the LED lights allow for perfect visibility in dark spaces. Easy to use and connect to a cell phone. It lives up to all its promises and exceeds expectations. A must-have tool!

Bought this for a boresight to inspect a collection of firearms. While it's out in the open with ample light, it's fantastic. Focus has a little to be desired. Minimum focal length out in the open seems to be about 3/4-1 inch. Inside the barrel, focal seems to be nearly 2-3 inches. I was expecting something that stayed within the 1 inch focal length range. Out of the box battery was at 50 percent. Kind of expected that, so no big deal. Operation was pretty straight forward, as I was able to work my way through operation of the device without having to reference the fan fold 4 page manual. The camera cable was bent nearly a perfect 90 degrees at the USB connection into the controller/display. Initially thought I was going to have to return it. It straightened out, and no issues with operation. Did it do it's stated purpose? Yes. I was able to see the condition of the rifle bores very well. As I was gaining experience with what I was seeing, I was able to determine the condition of the barrel bores accurately. Was the picture clear? Inside the barrel within an inch of the camera the picture was fuzzy. After that it was clear. Will this last? Considering the tight bend in the cable, and how tightly the rest of the cable was wrapped, I suspect it will last for a while considering the kind of use I will put it to. If you don't take care of your equipment, it won't last. No matter how good it is, or how much money you spent on it. Is it worth the price? I'd have to say yes. What would make this scope even better? If they offered the cameras in the 5.5mm diameter range for the ability to interchange between the 3.9mm, and a 5.5mm cameras, that would make this an awesome scope.

The best thing about this device is the fact that you don’t need an additional app to use it. Everything is in the box. I ordered this at the beginning of December for a Christmas gift. Took it out of the box and it would only work if it was plugged in. Took out the plug and fiddled with it a bit and still nothing. Bummer! But I saw in a previous review from someone else that customer service was great. So I also contacted customer service. I was asked to send pictures and explain the problem. Within hours I was told that there was a new one on the way! I didn’t need to send the defective one back - only wait for the new device to come. It was due on Saturday but it was delivered today, which is Thursday. I pulled it out of the box and it worked right away AND was fully charged! Overall I have to say it was a very good experience. The device itself is great. The picture quality is good, but the manual adjustments are outstanding! I think it’s definitely worth every dime. Please note that this isn’t heavy duty, so be careful with it. However the cable for the endoscope itself is extremely thick and sturdy. Again, this was an overall excellent experience. Not everything is perfect every time, but having great support is priceless. Definitely worth the purchase!

Awesome tool especially for the price!! Has an excellent camera which records video and pictures and stores them on its own SD card has several attachments which are useful and the And the on-screen selection of of different functions is easy to operate and much better than the other ones that I've tried has a really good screen battery last for several hours just an all-around good value and a nice tool

Easy to setup but bought it to inspect gun barrels and the light is not bright enough.

Product is better than I expected. I just received the unit and have just begun testing it. But initial review it is an awesome product for the money. I will review when I put it to use.

Pros: smaller than any other camera I've been able to find Battery life is great. Cons: Short reach/length which limits what i can use it for Did not come with any attachments. I've bought about 15 endoscope/ boroscopes over the years for work and they've ALWAYS come with at least one attachment.
