About this deal

First off, you’ll notice the brilliant quality snake probe itself. The cable is 7.9 mm wide, so it’s not the narrowest, but it has unbeatable rigidity for getting round tight corners. You can bend it anywhere along its length and it will stay there, which is incredibly handy. This is a big deal for endoscope technology because so many other options out there require you to do exactly that – push-up your camera close to the area that you want to have a better look at. This sounds good in theory, but in practice what actually happens is you end up blurring the area you’re trying to inspect closely and the endoscope becomes a lot less useful. Look for a tool that offers just a little bit more length and flexibility than what you anticipate needing and you’ll usually find that it can handle almost anything you throw at it. If you do need extra length or flexibility look for quality aftermarket components that you can trust and rely on, but your initial investment in a slightly longer or more “bendy” endoscope will usually pay off. Focus on the Batteries The AnyKit 1200P USB Endoscope is the one to get if you’re looking for an endoscope you can use with a desktop or laptop computer. It’s not Wi-Fi-powered like the previous ones, but instead uses a USB connector to work with Android phones or Mac or Windows computers. Since it isn’t battery-powered, you don’t have to worry about charging it, which can save you some time and potential frustration. It also comes with a semi-bendable cable so you can position it as needed to get the proper view. The adjustable LED lights mean you can use the proper amount of light for the scene you’re observing.

Telescopic cameras are used for areas out of reach. These are usually rigid and allow you to look at things above you, for example into pipework or ceilings. Connection and Amount of Storage The camera unit on this set up measures in at just 8.2 mm, giving it an opportunity to probe tighter spaces and areas that some of the larger cable cameras cannot get to. It is still capable of producing high definition video at 640x480 resolution – though it isn’t quite as HD as 720p or 1080p HD cameras we’ve reviewed above provide. The 8 mm diameter flexible camera head contains 4 bright LEDs that do a good job of lighting up the darkest spots and have three different levels of brightness. You get 95 cm of cable to inspect pipes or behind wall cavities, which isn’t loads, but it wraps neatly around the unit and doesn’t take up much room. Wireless inspection cameras use wifi to transfer data. The images and videos taken can be transferred to a screen for viewing. These are used in any situation where you need to view the data being collected in real time. Camera: The commercial-grade camera takes high-definition pictures and videos in 640 x 480p, 1280 x 720p, 1600 x 1200p, and 1920 x 1080p resolutions. It has zoom and live-recording capabilities to capture better shots of the areas you’re inspecting.The two megapixel 1080p high definition camera provides a level of crystal clear picture quality you’d expect from a top-of-the-line model like this, and CMOS camera sensor built right into this unit guarantees that even in lowlight situations your images are never too dark or too washed out by the LED adjustable lights attached near the head of this probe. This “all-in-one” endoscope is special because it features the longest focal distance in the industry, with a focal range that stretches from between just 1.6 inches to 198 inches. This means that the camera technology featured in this endoscope is capable of surveilling much larger inspection areas from further distances than ever before – allowing for real “close-up” style inspections without having to physically push camera probe right up to the areas you want to see. endoscopes are a good choice. They provide image quality roughly halfway between 720p and 1080p, though it’s not as standardized as the other two, so it can vary. 720p endoscopes also produce good image quality at a reasonable price. Inspection cameras are battery-powered, and the battery life is important. The charge time is also worth looking at.

Shorter cables don’t give you quite as much versatility when it comes to the task, but you’ll have more control over the camera at the end. Battery LifeReally think about how you expect to use your new tool going forward and it’ll make choosing from the myriad of options available a lot easier right out of the gate. What Kind of Budget Are You Working With? This model is very much representative on the newest type of endoscope and it’s easy to see why it is so popular. Incredibly inexpensive (almost 10 times less expensive than our top option), this endoscope uses a wireless enabled Wi-Fi camera that connects to your mobile device to allow for a lot more flexibility than traditional endoscopes bring to the table.

Keep the camera lens clean. Use a dust-free cloth to keep the view clear. If the lens gets very dirty, you can use alcohol wipes to gently remove debris. The cable on this endoscope is compact, too. It’s just a 9.84 foot cable (with a slightly longer than 3 foot version available for those that want a really short cable), which is a real boost for those that don’t want to have to worry about cable management on some of the other endoscopes on the market with cables that can get to 30, 40, and even 50 feet or longer (like the ones we highlighted above). Memory card storage: most borescopes offer fixed internal storage but some have removable SD cards – useful if you need to offer images to a client. The 2.0 megapixel HD camera features dimmable LED lights (six individual light sources) as well as high definition zoom capabilities of upwards of 400%, all of which – alongside every other camera control option – can be easily manipulated directly on your smart phone or tablet through the included free application.

FEATURED IN

Like choosing any other camera, there are also variations in focal distance, frames per second, and pixels to compare. Generally speaking, the longer the focal distance range, the better for sharp images. More frames per second means you’ll observe smoother motion in videos. As far as pixels go, the higher the pixel density, the crisper the image. The engineering under the hood of this endoscope provides for a semirigid cable nearly 33 feet long, long enough to reach almost anything that professionals, homeowners, DIYers, and hobbyists would like to look at – with plenty of room to spare! With a 4.3” TFT screen, it shows up images clearly at a maximum 1080p and even takes 3 Mp still images. It’s good to be able to save high-resolution images when investigating faults. Wireless endoscopes come with helpful attachments besides the camera, typically hooks magnets. Note that not all attachments fit over the camera, so if you need to go on a fishing expedition down a drain or pipe, you might need to do so blind.
