An inspection camera is a device with a camera and lighting, used to view hard-to-reach places. These cameras are often used for inspection and maintenance purposes, such as checking the condition of pipes, wires, ventilation ducts, engines, and other machinery.

Inspection cameras work by transmitting the image from the camera to a monitor, display, built-in screen, or mobile device. The image can be viewed live or recorded for later viewing.

Inspection cameras are used in many different industries, including:

• Construction: For checking the condition of structures, pipes, and cables.
• Plumbing: For checking the condition of pipes and plumbing installations.
• Electrical: For checking the condition of electrical wires and connections.
• Mechanics: For checking the condition of engines and other machinery.
• Aviation: For checking the condition of airplanes and helicopters.
• And many others

Using inspection cameras offers many advantages, including:

• Ability to view hard-to-reach places: Inspection cameras allow you to see spaces that cannot be reached with the naked eye.
• Fast and easy identification of problems: Inspection cameras make it easier to identify issues that may be invisible to the naked eye.
• Saving time and money: Inspection cameras can help save time and money by reducing the need for disassembly and replacement of components.
• Increasing safety: Inspection cameras can help increase safety by identifying potential hazards.

Most inspection cameras are easy to use and do not require special training. However, before using the camera, it is important to read the user manual.

When choosing an inspection camera, several factors should be taken into account, including:

• Application: for what purposes the camera will be used
• Probe length: what probe length is needed to view a given location
• Camera head size: what camera head diameter is needed to view a given location
• Features: what features are required, e.g., lighting, recording, thermal imaging
