Oiiwak 50FT Endoscope Inspection Camera, Borescope Camera for Pipe Sewer Drain Plumbing Inspection 1080P HD 4.3“ IPS Screen Waterproof IP68 Bore Scope Snake Camera with 6 LED Lights(15m Cable)

So my garage got flooded in our last big rain storm so I bought this instead of paying a huge bill to have some company come out to do it. This thing worked great! It was a little hard to get started in the drain but I did see the problem! My teracada pipe broke and that explains the backup into my garage! Now I will have to have to hire a plumber to dig it up! I would recommend this product as the professionials will charge you much more to have this scope done. It has a great picture and the lights are very bright as well.

Display gone. It is not waterproof. Wrote a complaint but they did not get back.

First, this is not an industrial strength, professional grade endoscope. It's a decent camera with LED adjustable lighting on the end of a 50 foot ¼ inch cable...all attached to a small GameBoy type of screen. It saved me time and money this weekend. The on screen directions are easy to use, very easy to use. The unit is light weight, and charges with a USB cable. The charge held for over three hours of use for me, though I was shutting it off when not in use. The majority of complaints I read before buying it was about the rigidity of the cable... don't expect a lot from this cable. It will not push through a 4 inch pipe, making turns and bends around corners for 50 feet. The trick is to secure the end to a cable snake (I used a zip tie) letting the snake be ahead of the camera by a few inches. This gave the rigidity the camera cable didn't have. I was able to camera 25 feet of pipe easily as long as the snake was able to make the bends. The 50 foot cable would do well in a ¾ inch conduit pipe but not a 4 inch sewer line. The one thing that I think is a downside is that the cable is permanently attached to the unit. It would be nice to interchange with a shorter cable if needed.

I got this camera to inspect a drain pipe in my house. The camera wire has a rigid bit inside the wire but its only slightly more rigid than a twist tie thing for your bread. At about 10feet the wire is no longer able to push itself forward. I attached is it a metal pipe snake and got it in there about 25ft and was able to remedy my drain issue. The real bummer on this thing though is the plastic screen. I rolled up the pipe snake and camera to set them aside and finish cleaning up. I came back and I had cracked the screen just by setting everything in a pile. This makes it now unusable. Considering this is designed for inspections or use in the WORKPLACE more than sitting around in a clean safe environment I would expect the screen to be more durable. Luckily I finished my work before the camera was ruined but super disappointed to only get one use out of a $100 item. If the screen is intentionally this fragile I would suggest they could include a cloth bag or something to store it in when not in use.

I think if you were using this for other purposes, it would be a great tool. I tried to use it to check out my shower drain and once it hit the water in the pipe, the image was cloudy and I could not really see what was going on. This is something that other reviewers mentioned and I should have listened before I bought it. In addition, the camera's wire which is 50 ft. long, is really flimsy. You can control for about two feet of length but anything more than that is impossible to feed into the drain. If you are inspecting something with curves that is deep, good luck. I got about 2.5 feet into my drain and the wire started to coil up. Otherwise, the camera is good quality. Screen is great. Easy to use, but the coiling, uncontrollable wire makes this device worthless to me to inspect my home's drains. Oh and good luck rolling up the wire after using it. Egads.
