DEPSTECH5" IPS Screen Endoscope Camera with Lights, 1080P Industrial Borescope, Split Screen, Waterproof Drain Pipe Camera, 50FT Semi-Rigid Cable, Carrying Case

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

So this was a gift for someone who wanted the three cameras and a lengthy cable. They said it worked great and could see everything very well. This gadget is versatile for multiple purposes and they were extremely satisfied at the quality and design of the camera.

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.

Great views of my sewer pipe. Did not know I would be so excited. Helped me locate a crack and dig around problem rather than fix the old one. Helped me narrow the problem under the slab so I ran a new pipe around leak. Used it only once hopefully that is the last time. Worked great when duct taped to a fish tape. Good video of pipe and hole even under water. Arrived overnight which was great since I had a professional waiting for the green light to tear up the yard early the next morning. It took only about two hours to get enough information to get enough information to dig. This camera was a minor expense in the plumbing game. Kinda hate to see it rot unused. Now maybe It can be a car backup camera? Maybe check my friends sewer lines?
