A flexible inspection camera designed for use with Android devices allows visual access to confined or obstructed areas. These devices, often called borescopes or endoscopes, typically connect to an Android smartphone or tablet via USB or Wi-Fi, displaying the camera’s feed on the device’s screen. For example, a plumber might use such a tool to examine the interior of a pipe for blockages.
The primary benefit lies in its ability to facilitate non-destructive inspection, minimizing the need for disassembly or invasive procedures. This saves time and reduces potential damage. Historically, industrial endoscopes were expensive and bulky. The advent of smaller, more affordable cameras, coupled with the widespread adoption of Android mobile devices, has made this technology accessible to a broader range of users, from homeowners to automotive mechanics.
