Introduction

The product is an endoscope camera, which enables areas that are difficult to access to be viewed clearly.
Via the cable, the endoscope camera can be maneuvered easily at narrow points that cannot otherwise be examined in detail. This enables, for example, cable ducts, motor cylinder walls, drywalls, suspended plasterboard ceilings, etc. to be investigated. The instrument not only transmits a live image but also allows photos and videos to be taken of the conditions being viewed. The display can be rotated in any direction and/or mirrored to make maneuvering easier. The instrument is supplied with a selection of gripper tools, which are used, for example, to reach/retrieve small parts. On the camera head is a light to illuminate narrow points without difficulty. The camera is also equipped with an integrated torch to also illuminate the user’s surroundings.
Saved images can subsequently be viewed via computer or even on the instrument itself. Downloading data is, of course, also part of the functionality. As the data is saved on a micro SD card, there are various ways to download and store it externally. The instrument has an integrated battery, which can be charged via the micro USB interface using any conventional USB charger or USB port.
To avoid damaging it, the camera cable can be unscrewed from the instrument and stored separately.

Charging the battery
