Oiiwak Endoscope Camera with Light, 5.5 mm Borescope, 4.3" IPS Screen HD Digital Snake Inspection Camera, IP67 Waterproof for Drain, Plumbing, Wall, Automotive- 3.5 m/11.5 ft

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.

I wanted to determine where the leak in my roof was above my main bathroom. I inserted the camera thru a small hole I drilled in the vent tube. I found it difficult to tell exactly where the leak was coming in the low light area. When the camera is close enough to a target, I found the image to be excellent. Main issue I had was trying to get the camera pointed to where I wanted it to go. The wire cord is a little stiff and wants to retain it's shape which can be hard to aim thru a small hole. It did come fully charged, nicely packaged, and worked right out of the box. In all fairness, this was my first time using a device like this so it could very well be I just need more practice. I do think it is a pretty decent product for the price.

It works great for looking in the hard to see places in car AC system.

I bought this item to view inside my walls and better understand the termite problem. It works great, but the cable is so stiff you have to maneuver and bend it quite often to see your target. The picture is not the greatest, but you can for sure see what you need to see and at this price point, it completed my quest no issues. Yes, I would buy this again.

The media could not be loaded. My 2010 Camaro 2SS AC cold and hot issue. I check small hole camera video in box found Blend door broke and damaged closed block cold and hot.

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!

Starting off, the first one purchased didn’t work, just said “Please waiting” on it. They sent me another, the camera worked, but none of the buttons worked, like it didn’t take pictures or video, but we accepted it as I can always film the video or take a picture with my phone, which is easier than the memory stick they give you. Yes it comes with one. That being said, we were able to use it to locate and light up a cleaning brush that got caught in our shower line-drain. This camera was clear and bright enough to allow us to get a grabber tool in there to snag the old cleaning brush and pull it out. A plumber would have charged us twice what this costs to do that. So I saved money with it, and have a nice tool for some other time. It may not last, like others have said, but it was great for this one time use.Comes in a nice storage case, comes with a hook attachment and vague instructions. MADE IN CHINA
