DEPSTECH 50FT Endoscope Camera with Light: Triple Lens 5" IPS Screen Sewer Inspection Camera, 1080P Industrial Borescope, Split Screen, Semi-Rigid Cable, Waterproof Drain Pipe Tool, Carrying Case

When I decided that I was finally going to buy one of these little cameras, I spent hours looking at all the various options. I finally settled on the 16’ version of this camera. I’m very pleased with my purchase. I wanted a camera primarily to look within my walls and stud cavities for running low voltage cabling. I'm not an ace with a fish tape, and this lets me find existing holes and obstructions. This works really well for that purpose, and in multiple (long) sessions it has been thoroughly reliable and satisfying to use. The camera focuses nicely from about 1 inch to infinity. The resolution and lighting are excellent (and the light level is adjustable). The side cameras are far more useful that I expected, and on my first use of the camera revealed something (a corrugated gas line) that I otherwise would have missed. I like the fact that I don’t have to tie-up my phone to use the camera. The flexibility/stiffness of the cable seems to be “just right”. Bottom line: this is a good, solid, choice. Nice unit. Easy to use. Highly recommended.

Aside form my Drs office, I don't know a whole lot about endoscope's but this one was recommended by another generator repair technician. (JC) With this DEPSTECH DS520 Tripple lens +16ft cable, I didn't need to know anything. It's easier to use than most of the cell phones I've owned. 1 forward camera, 1 side camera & 1 side camera that has an extremely close up view, that is you can get really close to the object with one of the side cams (see valve seat damage). I love the 1080 clarity and 5in screen. I haven't used any of the probe attachments, other than the protective cap, yet but have use it to scope out this generator engine with a broken valve, saving me several hours in disassembly, inspection and sitting around waiting for parts to come in while the generator takes up valuable shop & workbench space. Just used it again today in a fuel tank to find the fuel level gauge in pieces & using my old 4 fingered grabber, got them all out. Another few hours saved by not having to remove the tank and shake the pieces out. LoL. It easily interfaces with my computer, laptop as well as my phone & tablet with an adapter (dongle?) Although videos didn't work on the phone but I'm sure "it's not you, it's me" applies here, not a scope issue. Like I said, it's easier to use than my phone. LoL. I'll have to figure that out later. Also enough room in the case for MY charger, dongle & a their second shorter cord if so desired I'm sure. Hint/Tip: Charge it fully before first use, it may take a while that first time. Make sure the Camera Attachment Plug is securely in. (They were kind enough to send me an email reminding me of that) *Note: I wish there was an added screen protector, like for phones. I just worry about scratching it since all my engines have very tight spaces, very sharp corners, usually rounded tops. MrB Repairs. ** 1 month update: I didn't think I would be using this Scope as much as I do. Also Great for close-up belt inspection, underside of riding mower decks & around transmissions for a quick "Look-see". As well as down the old trucks defrost vent to remove an old pen that's prevented the defroster/vent selector from working right from the day I bought the old truck.

Though advertised as a sewer inspection camera, I use it for inspecting welds in pipe/tubing. All in all, it works great for that, with some limitations. Picture quality is quite good, even though it can be a little difficult to get a good view in focus, sometimes. Again, this is not the camera's intended purpose, so no fault there. The side views are a great bonus, and the lighting works surprisingly well, compared to some other cameras I've tried. The cable is rigid enough to push the whole length through a pipe, even with a couple of bends--just be mindful of the radius. In a sewer line, I suppose this won't be a problem. The screen works quite well, although I've only tried it indoors, and not in bright sunlight. The included micro SD card is adequate, but you may prefer it different capacity card, or just a different brand. That said, you can easily download pictured from the camera with the included cable, or simply remove the card to download the pictures. The cable makes it easy to charge the camera, although I haven't taken the time to check how long it takes to fully charge, nor how long the charge lasts while using the camera--I use it for short periods, about 30 mins at a time. Bottom line - for DIYers, or even limited professional use, it's a good camera for the price. It's worked well from 3/4" - 4" stainless tubing, and even running it behind a wall, or two. I imagine it'll do just fine in a drain or vent pipe at home, or just to inspect behind walls, or other things. The only downside that I can think of is that it can be cumbersome to store in the included case, so don't unroll the whole 50' if it's not needed. Unroll the length you need, and keep the rest coiled tight with the included straps. Maybe get some extra velcro straps to secure the rest, when you coil the cable to store it.

Nice, clear imaging. Reasonable price.

This ia a revised review for two important reasons. First the vendor, DEPSTECH followed up on my original 3 star review with a genuine offer to make things right. I appreciate that because many Amazon vendors simply ignore review comments or post a canned suggestion tha the buyer should call the company and to discuss the concern. The all in one hand unit has a good HD IPSdisplay and both the push buttons and on screen menu and settings are easy to understand (for those of us who do not always read the included instructions). The camera cable connects via a USB3 plug, that "snaps" in with a positive lock and does not randomly disconnect as sometimes happens with USBC connectors. The kit includes a USB C cable for charging or for downloading still images or video you might take while using the unit. The hand box accepts and can formt up to a 32GB TF card. You can switch the camera view between forwrd and side view. The focus is sharp from about 1/2 inch, but useable within that distance. I did try using the inspection camera without a fish tape, but for long or convoluted runs I thnk you are going to want to have a fish tape. Without a tape it was very frustrating trying to feed the caamera past the second turn in a long small diameter HVAC run. The kit comes in a fitted zippered hard case, but fair warning once you uncoil the camera cable it will require a bit of patience to restow it in the case. You may want to get a fish tape of some sort for some jobs it will help you feed the camera in long runs particularly if if there are elbows or joints/ridges that can impede forward progress. So far this tool has helped me find

Boy did this work great up until the camera went bad. This item has never been available again. I bought the extended warranty but what good is that if the is no replacement cables to be had.

I am always suspicious of 5 star ratings. I have to give this product 5 stars though. I bought a Depstech years ago that connected to a cell phone. Lost the instructions and had a question. Prompt response and follow up. Impressive enough that I decided to consider one several generations newer. The DS520 went beyond my expectations. The first thing you notice opening the box is a good quality case with three dividers. Usually for relatively inexpensive products the case if there is one is pretty cheap. The DS520 was off to a good start. Rather than go into detail about each feature I am going to say that I reread the company's description, pictures and video on this page and they are perfectly accurate. What they say is what you get. Crisp, bright colors. Easy to use. Thoughtfully designed. The instruction manual is short. I am a guy. I didn't read it. Played with the endoscope first. Pretty intuitive. Read it afterwards and picked up a few points. The only thing that had me stumped is that the controls for the scopes brightness didn't seem to work. I was pressing and holding the button expecting it to gradually dim. It dims in steps with each press of the bottom. Works fine. I did see that the company has placed a note about needing to fit the USB cable firmly into the connection. I wondered if this wasn't a design flaw. No, it is not a flaw. The connection is built down into the bump out at the top of the montior. This stabilizes the cable and connections to prevent damage. Thoughtful design. I added a couple of pictures. I wanted to show the screen on the monitor itself rather than a download picture (which is easily done btw). Any perceived decrease in sharpness of the screen is from my old cell phone not the endoscope. It is perfectly clear. I wish I could say one thing negative just to make this review sound more believable. Maybe someone else can find something to say on the con side but I can't!

The versatility of this camera is great. Having the side camera views was very helpful for when you can't get the main camera twisted to see your target area. The windows are very durable and these cameras have seen their fair share of oil without any degradation of picture quality. The adjustable lighting is helpful when viewing very shiny metal surfaces. Display flip and split screen were also great options. Split screen can make you totally lose your bearings though. :) Things that would make it even better... An option for a shorter fiber. You don't need 20+ feet when working on a vehicle. The extra fiber was always in the way. A way to strap the camera down would be really helpful. The rigidity of the fiber makes the display flop around when you don't have a hand on it. There were many times that I needed the two hands on tools so had to wedge the display in different locations. Bottom line. This camera has been a lifesaver for troubleshooting and fixing my son's truck. Highly recommended.

Bien, llego en tiempo y forma

Para inspección de tubería sanitaria o pluvial, no es funcional ya que al no contar con un accesorio que separe la cámara de la superficie del tubo, se observa solamente blanco.
