The endoscope camera comes in a cardboard box with foam filling. The packaging is also suitable for permanent storage of components.
The compact manual is written in English and illustrated in color. The text is formulated accurate and easy to understand. Tip: At the back of the cardboard package all essential steps for commissioning and operation are explained clearly. The information can be here faster than the capture postcard-sized pages of the manual.
The installation is carried out quickly. The endoscope tube is plugged onto the handle; in the positioning of the pins helps a groove. With a union nut, the connection is secured. The monitor is pushed onto the handle and engages smoothly. Previously should be employed at the rear of the monitor a MicroSD memory card that is inserted behind a plastic cover in a metal frame. The storage medium is sitting in it safely.
The battery compartment at the end of the handle takes 4 AA batteries (not included). The insertion and especially the removal turns out not so easy due to the rather narrow shaft, but does not represent a significant problem.
The Operation
There is a yellow button, which triggers the Monitorarretierung on the side of the handle. This allows the tilt of the display to adjust.
Using a knob, the display is switched on and adjusts the brightness of the light.
In addition to the light at the end of Endoskopschlachs bring the instrument with a very bright light on the handle, which acts as a powerful LED flashlight.
The display switches to be found for the various modes (Photo, video), image rotation and calling up the menu. To ensure that all functions are available, a memory card must be inserted.
The use
As the camera is proven in use? Surprisingly good! For testing purposes, led the look behind cupboards and under the sofa. The approximately one meter long endoscope tube can be adjusted flexibly and remains stable in its position. The camera at the end brings a bright light that makes the target area clearly visible. The image on the 3.5 "color display focused at close range quickly by movement of the handle allows the lens to adjust well, also in rotation about the axis. The monitor shows a clear picture that builds up quickly. The approximately 8 mm measured by objective will access even in confined areas.
The low weight of approximately 450 grams without batteries enables a fatigue-free operation. The system made of plastic makes a sufficiently solid impression.
Once you insert the memory card can be obtained by printing images on the camera icon below the monitor document as a JPEG file. The factory setting is a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. In general, these image size should be sufficient. Optional can be selected according to the manufacturer's instructions Sizes 2 and 3 megapixels. Even videos can be stored until 1280 x 720 pixel resolution are possible.
The front light is only moderately warm during use. The hose can be easily cleaned after use.
After a few minutes of operation, the battery indicator to one of four levels returns. Pickled were freshly charged powerful Energizer batteries that would otherwise provide for my camera.
I tested the unit with an 8 GB microSD of Medion. The capacity is oversized for this size but is supported.
Accessories
For the removal of some malefactor in closed systems, a magnet and a hook are provided that can be attached to the endoscope tube.
For video output to an AV cable, a remote link cable with jack plugs and a cable from micro to standard USB find.
To me, the storage on micro SD most practicable, because if one really wants to be documented.
Conclusion
For the price you wanted to get a decent device. The target group is certainly non-professional users, which is also reflected in the price.
I find it very convenient that the device is operated without a notebook. When localizing, for example, a pipe blockage I do not want to put in the potentially filthy by the spiral kitchen my device.
The endoscope camera scores with clear, focused images quickly and practical data storage. The illumination of the target area is very good. The quality goes for the price it was good.
Even those who do not speak the English language, is a largely self-explanatory system and a good illustration.
Could improve energy efficiency; the battery capacity is exhausted relatively quickly. Typically, however, one will easily be able to conclude an insert with a charge.
I recommend batteries and the use of a microSD card.
