Of course, you may not know exactly what task you are using your camera for. The models I’ve recommended have variable focal distances; a distance of between 3 and 10 cm would be suitable for a wide range of tasks. Cable Type and Length The video and photos you can capture with this endoscope will be crystal-clear thanks to the inclusion of six adjustable blue spectrum LED lights on the probe, allowing you to tinker with the brightness so that you can capture images or video effectively without washing them out. To start with, you get a whopping ten metres of inspection cable. That’s more than double compared with the other cameras on my list and means this tool can get you just about anywhere you need to go. The cable is IP67 rated against water and dust incursion, so you can feed it underwater without issue. There are six bright LEDs on the end to illuminate the target area as well. 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 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.
Inspection camera experts Ddendocam make an impressive range of digital borescopes. Their industrial endoscope is ideal for getting into the tightest spaces thanks to its tiny probe width. This minute camera is small enough to look inside just about anything you like. Many inspection cameras come with LED lights, meaning you can collect footage even in dark areas. A camera without LED lights will be fairly useless in areas behind walls, deep into drains or other areas that don’t receive a lot of natural light. Camera resolution: the more the better, though remember these cameras must be tiny to be useful. Be aware that some makers 'upsample' resolutions to make it sound better than it actually is (a common way is recording higher resolution video than the camera's sensor can make use of). Wi-Fi: this could be handy for viewing footage on your smartphone at a safe distance from the actual dirty work

There aren’t a lot of modern endoscope/borescope options that feature wireless capabilities like this one that also include nearly 50 feet of semirigid flexible cable, giving you almost all of the probing and scoping capabilities of the “all-in-one” units with the myriad of benefits that these modern separate options include as well.
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.It might not look like much, a kind of coated wire-frame arrangement, but it’s actually much easier to grip than, say, the plastic spools common on extension leads. That thoughtful quality extends to the highly durable display which is both waterproof and oil/chemical resistant too. You need to worry about delicate touch screens, as the controls are all on robust buttons around the display. HVAC: HVAC professionals use wireless endoscopes for diagnostic work on service calls. It’s not always possible or practical to take a unit apart to assess a problem, so the wireless endoscope keeps inspection swift and reduces labour time.
The Depstech DS500 includes a dual camera design, which not only features a forward-pointing camera but a second looking out to one side (yet it manages this with a narrower probe than the wireless WF028 further down this guide). Inspection cameras usually have fixed internal storage, while others use removable SD cards. If you are simply using your inspection camera to diagnose a problem in your car or drainpipe, you won’t need a huge amount of storage. Rechargeable battery: Wireless endoscopes are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Inexpensive models peak at about two hours of use time, whereas mid-range models can give you three to four hours. Some high-end wireless endoscopes last as long as five hours. 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 Life Those that need a new endoscope to make their lives as a professional a lot easier on a daily basis are going to have different expectations and different requirements for this tool than homeowners or DIYers that might only use their endoscope a handful of times every year – if that.Really 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? The DEPSTECH 1200P Semi-rigid Wireless / Wi-Fi Endoscope is our favorite, due to its waterproof frame, semi-rigid cable, and bright LED lights. Next is the BlueFire Semi-Rigid Flexible Wireless Endoscope, which also has a semi-rigid cable, an adjustable LED light, and 720p resolution. Its small battery keeps it out of the top spot. The AnyKit 1200P USB Endoscope can attach to most computers, includes a semi-bendable cable, and has a low price that makes it the best overall value for the money here. The semi-rigid one is quite practical in itself, but a flexible camera would be particularly useful in the engine area. But more practical because the mirror attachment is ok and has been sufficient for my purposes so far, but the view is sometimes disturbed by reflections. I attached the device and the 10 cm cable with cable ties to a heavy metal strip (cooling) so that you can get started without worrying - you just put the part somewhere. Some endoscopes can be extended with extra cables and aftermarket components but you always run the risk of sacrificing some clarity and stability when you start to tinker with the setup your endoscope comes with right out of the gate.
