Wireless Endoscope, WiFi Borescope Inspection Camera 2.0 Megapixels HD Waterproof Snake Camera Pipe Drain with 8 Adjustable Led for Android & IOS Smartphone IPhone Samsung Tablet-16.4 ft (5M)

The media could not be loaded. For my immediate need, I wanted to find my doorbell transformer, which was hidden behind drywall in the basement (I'm including a video of finding the junction box). I have an 2-year-old iPhone and much older MacBook, and will be updating soonish, so I wanted something with options. The wifi option seems like a good way to do that.On my current MacBook, I just plugged the camera into the USB port, opened up PhotoBooth, and the video showed up automatically. Photobooth reverses the images (treats it like a webcam), so I had to turn the laptop away from me and watch it via a mirror. I haven't tried it on any other device, or with wifi.The camera wasn't easy to maneuver at a distance. I wrapped the cord with old fence wire and that gave it stiffness. That will be true for any camera in this price range I think. Video was good enough. The adjustable lamp brightness worked well.

When i bought this I should have known that yes it is cheap and cheap for a reason. I was able to get it work once, right out of package. After that could not get it to connect to an I phone, Tablet, I pad or an android phone. I tried my lap tops and PC and it was a one and done deal. The picture quality was pretty bad for what they claim. I would absolutely pay the few hundred dollars on one of these.

For example. I did not see anything that said how to turn the camera off. Discovered that I had to hit the power button twice. Ar least I think that's it. Got the app connected inside the house. Took camera outside and could not get it to reconnect to my phone... I am going to have to research some more. As far as the camera, it works great. The LED light button allows you to turn it completely off. I plan on using mine in a birdhouse. Next step is to see how far WiFi signal reaches. Once I completely figure it out I think I'll find all sorts of cool uses for it. Can't beat it for $20!

I LOVE this camera!!!! I've used it to see behind my steering wheel into my dashboard, into a pipe to locate a lost bolt, into my cat's outer ears, into a crawl space, etc.You just have to pay attention to the setup ---- (1) Be sure to connect the proper ends of the cables to the accurately associated/labeled ends of the Wi-Fi (battery) device. (2) Charge the device fully, or connect it to a power source via the provided cable during use. (3) Power the device on AND make sure the device's LED's are colored appropriately to indicate that it is in Wi-Fi mode, AND find the device name "Inskam..." (Or whatever is specified in your manual) on your Wi-Fi list within your personal viewing device you'll be using the Inskam App from. (4) Open the Inskam App and allow any permissions it asks for, and there should be a live view of the camera's lens showing on the screen through the app. (5) USE THE SLIDER WHEEL MODULE ON THE CABLE TO ADJUST THE LEN'S FLASH-LIGHT INTENSITY --- THIS ALSO HELPS TO ADAPT THE LENS FOCUS (the lens focus is magnified, and is meant for close-up imaging!).

I picked this up about a year back, and finally got back to the project I got it for.The good: The camera line seems nicely long (probably ~5m), and connecting the camera to the included USBA=USBmicro connector to a USBA=USBC adapter to an Intel MacBook USBC port worked fine with Photoshop and QuickTime video. The camera also worked fine connecting via similar chain to a Windows computer with VLC player. I did not test other camera control software on either. The brightness control wheel on the cable did control the brightness of the end LEDs.The uncertain: I tried connecting the camera via wired adapter chain to a USB-C Android phone; the built-in camera app does not allow selecting an external camera. It would seem more likely to work with Play store software designed for external control, but I did not bother testing that.The untested: I did not have adapters for chaining it to my lightning-era iPhone, nor test with an iPad; it would be physically possible to connect (via adapter) to a USB-C era iPhone/iPad, and the App Store offers some apps ("CamX - USB Camera", EG) claiming external camera control ability.The trivial: the manual labels it as a model YPC99-5, which tidbit might be of use for someone shopping around.The mediocre: the manual seemed to have been written by someone with only moderate fluency in English; understandable, and far from the worst I'd seen, but several phrasing choices seemed odd.The Bad: the included USB to IEEE 802.11 b/g/n adapter/controller block charged, and the LED at least allows its use as a low-quality miniature flashlight (yay?), but flat did not work for WiFi. It allegedly should broadcast its own WiFi network, but none was detected (even by a broad-spectrum signal strength scanner). As a result, I did not get far enough to encounter the bugs in the InsKam app others mentioned.Overall: since it works well with both Windows and Mac computers, it will work for my ends and be worth the money. However, the defects in the WiFi adapter/controller leave it much less versatile than advertised.

I’m going to be completely honest, the scope is a great inexpensive option to look in hard to reach places. It is easy to setup and use. The charge last a good length of time. I bought mine to inspect a CAM through the lifter holes. I was able to see everything on my iPad. It takes pictures and videos, the image on the iPad or iPhone can easily be rotated. The light is adjustable. In my opinion it’s a great deal. If something goes wrong you’re not out a lot of money. It’s not going to do macro photography, you won’t be able to use it for microscopic surgery. I would buy one again.

Wire needs to be stiff. It’s too loose. You can’t shove it down any holes or anything

I have an older android smartphone and no matter how hard I try I can not get it to work. I have read where others couldn't get it to work on some android phones and when they bought a more recent models they had no problem. I don't have the money to get the latest model, nor do I have the money to keep trying older phones. I need to use it asap but going to keep it and maybe some day I'll get a phone it will work on.
