Inspection cameras for automotive diagnostics

An endoscope camera allows users to visually inspect narrow or hidden areas without immediately dismantling surrounding components.

The current category contains two versions with 5 m and 10 m cables.

Automotive inspection

The camera can be useful for checking:

• engine-bay areas,
• spaces behind trim,
• narrow openings,
• technical channels,
• hidden mounting points.

10 m inspection camera

The longer model provides a 10 metre cable, making it suitable for deeper or more distant inspection points.

5 m inspection camera

A 5 metre version is also available and can be more convenient for shorter workshop and maintenance tasks.

5.5 mm camera

The 10 m model uses a compact camera with a diameter of approximately 5.5 mm.

Its small size helps it fit through narrow openings.

640 × 480 resolution

The camera provides a 640 × 480 pixel image for basic visual inspection.

Six LEDs

Six built-in LEDs illuminate dark areas around the camera.

This can help inside:

• pipes,
• housings,
• cavities,
• technical channels,
• enclosed components.

60-degree viewing angle

The 10 m version provides an approximately 60° field of view.

Colour image

The camera transmits a colour image, which can help identify different components, dirt, corrosion or visible fluid traces.

Digital zoom

Digital zoom allows closer inspection of selected areas of the image.

Android and Windows compatibility

The 10 m model is designed for:

• compatible Android devices,
• Windows computers.

Android phones or tablets must support OTG.

USB and micro USB

The camera uses USB and micro USB connections and supports USB 2.0 and OTG communication.

IP67 protection

The 10 m model is rated IP67 for the appropriate protected section of the device.

Electrical connectors should still be kept dry.

Hook attachment

A small hook can help reach or move lightweight objects in difficult locations.

Magnetic attachment

The magnetic tip may help retrieve small metal items such as screws or nuts.

Mirror attachment

The included mirror changes the viewing direction and can help inspect surfaces that are not directly in front of the camera.

Workshop applications

An inspection camera can be useful for:

• vehicle checks,
• equipment servicing,
• DIY repairs,
• locating hidden objects,
• inspecting hard-to-reach areas.

Basic setup

A typical process is:

1. check device compatibility,
2. connect the camera,
3. open a compatible application,
4. verify the image,
5. adjust LED lighting,
6. carefully guide the camera into the inspection area.

Safe operation

Do not insert the camera near moving machinery, hot engine components or other hazardous parts.

Avoid forcing the cable into narrow spaces.

Cleaning and storage

After use, clean the camera tip carefully and keep USB connectors dry.

Store the cable loosely coiled rather than sharply bent.

5 m or 10 m?

Choose the 5 m version for shorter inspections and the 10 m version when additional reach is required.

Choosing an inspection camera

Consider:

• cable length,
• camera diameter,
• resolution,
• LED lighting,
• connector type,
• OTG compatibility,
• water resistance,
• included accessories.
