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.

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!

Works great and has a great picture. Will work perfect for our use

Well worth the money.Battery Last a decent amount of time, the Light is adjustable. Definitely save me a lot of headache.

Arrived on time and works ok. Not had much time to test it out other than a few look arounds in the wall and some tights spots inside the car frame. Was able to take some snap photos and even video with the 8gb sd card that comes with it.

I needed an Endoscope Camera for close up continuous monitoring of a repetitive process. This little camera is fantastic, performing well above its price point. Very clear close-up image, easy to apply to a process. I certainly recommend this camera!

Have only used this camera once so far, for only 10 feet. Picture quality is excellent!!! At first, the lens got covered with mud (from inside the pipe) and I couldn’t see anything. Cleaned it off, installed one of the included fittings which served as a mud diverter, then it worked great. Looking forward to using again on a longer run. Cable is not very rigid, which may prove to be an issue on longer runs.

It does what it's supposed to do.The image is pretty good, and the light is plenty bright enough to illuminate small spaces and the brightness level is adjustable via a switch on the side and via the menu and arrow keys.The cord is long enough to reach anywhere I need to go with it.It takes a little finagling to get it at just the right angle to see what you want to see; would be nice if there was a way to easily rotate it, as is it a bit cumbersome to maneuver the cam into just the right position, but it gets easier with practice.Cons: It came in a box, no hard case. Not a deal breaker, but it was advertised with a case so they should have sent it with a case.
