Buying Guide

Camera resolution and image processing

Choose a borescope with at least 1920P imaging or good on-device image processing to capture clear details for diagnostics and documentation

Probe type and flexibility

Semi-rigid vs. flexible probes affect access and control; semi-rigid cables hold shape for targeted inspection while fully flexible probes reach curved passageways

Ingress protection and durability

Look for IP-rated waterproofing (e.g., IP67) and metal or reinforced probe housings when inspecting wet or harsh environments

Display and compatibility

Decide between integrated IPS displays for standalone use and camera-only units that connect to phones or tablets; ensure iPhone or Android compatibility if needed

Lighting and lens options

Adjustable LED illumination and dual-lens or varied focal lengths improve visibility in dark or close-up inspection scenarios
