Miniature camera endoscope with a diameter of 5.5 mm and 480P resolution is a ool for visual inspection of hidden cavities, hard-to-reach places, and internal spaces without the need for disassembly or destruction of structures. The device is equipped with a rigid cable 2 meters long, which ensures precise control of the camera direction and stable operation in difficult conditions.
The camera is equipped with six bright LEDs with adjustable brightness. Brightness adjustment is done using a wheel on the mini remote located on the wire. There is also a button for instant photo capture. The device meets the IP67 waterproof standard, allowing its use in humid environments and even during short-term immersion up to 1 meter deep.

Connection and compatibility:
The camera works via wired connection to Android and Windows devices. For modern smartphones with USB Type-C port, a special OTG-supported adapter is required. The standard charging adapter from the phone package will not work — it only supports charging. A compatible USB Type-C to Micro USB adapter can be purchased for 5 Euros.
For Apple devices (iPhone, iPad), we recommend using a wireless endoscope with WiFi module, as wired connection to iOS is not available.
