Choose the right Inspection Cameras & Borescopes

Expert guidance
How to choose Inspection Cameras & Borescopes
Start with the smallest opening the camera must pass through. A narrower probe improves access, while a larger camera head may provide stronger lighting or a more robust housing.
Choose the viewing system next. A side-view lens reduces repositioning; an articulating tip provides more control around bends but usually costs more. Cable length should match the task—extra length can be useful in drains and ducts but harder to control in short mechanical inspections.
Check what the waterproof rating covers. It normally applies to the probe and camera head, not the handheld display or connectors. An inspection camera is not a medical device and should not be used for human or animal examination.
