I recently had the opportunity to thoroughly test the Borescope Endoscope Inspection Camera with a 5m semi-rigid cord and 2.4″ IPS HD screen. This handheld camera boasts an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for various applications, from inspecting plumbing to automotive repairs. My goal was to determine if this device lives up to its promises of high-definition imaging and convenient usability.

This borescope packs a surprising amount of functionality into a compact and surprisingly lightweight design. The 2.4″ IPS screen provides a clear and bright view, even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. The 6 adjustable LED lamp beads illuminate the inspection area effectively, ensuring detailed visuals. The 170° horizontal viewing angle is impressive, allowing for a wide field of vision. The 5m semi-rigid cable provides excellent reach and maneuverability, allowing for exploration of hard-to-reach areas. I particularly appreciated the non-slip matte finish, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip, even with wet hands.

During my testing, I used the borescope to inspect various areas, including drainage pipes, engine components, and wall cavities. The image quality was consistently good, with sharp details and accurate color reproduction. The 5m cable proved invaluable, allowing me to navigate tight corners and reach points that would have been impossible with a shorter cable. The IP67 waterproof rating held up to its promise; I used the camera in damp environments without encountering any issues. While the cable is described as semi-rigid, it still requires some finesse to maneuver in particularly tight spaces; I found the hook and magnet accessories very useful in these scenarios.

The battery life proved sufficient for extended use sessions. However, the lack of Wi-Fi and app compatibility might be a drawback for some users who prefer wireless image transfer and viewing capabilities. Overall, the camera’s performance consistently exceeded my initial expectations.

Pros:

• Excellent image quality
• Bright LED illumination
• 5m semi-rigid cable for great reach
• IP67 waterproof rating
• Comfortable, non-slip grip
• Wide 170° viewing angle
• Durable construction

Cons:

• Lack of Wi-Fi and app compatibility
• Cable flexibility requires some practice for tight spaces

The Borescope Endoscope Inspection Camera provides an excellent balance of features, performance, and affordability. While the lack of wireless capabilities is a minor drawback, the overall image quality, robust build, and versatility make it an ideal tool for a wide range of applications. The device’s easy-to-use design makes it suitable for both professional and DIY use. I highly recommend this borescope to anyone needing a reliable and effective inspection camera.
