Wireless Endoscope NIDAGE 5.5mm WiFi Borescope 1080P HD Inspection Camera for iPhone Android, Semi-Rigid Snake Drain Sewer Cam IP67 Waterproof Bore Scope Cam with Light, Cool Gadget for Men 33FT

This is a very quality built endoscope. I had purchased another brand last year and left it in the pool house where rust overtook the USB connection.I paid a little more for this unit, but is well worth it. I have tried to follow the directions for hooking up to my android phone and was unsuccessful. There are only three reviews on this product and was hoping that more information was available. Found another Nidage listed and read there reviews. Found the information that I needed. Which is as follows.Four easy steps for you to use wifi endoscope:1. Download and install “HDWiFi” app on your device from Google Play or APP Store.2. Turn on the WiFi transmitter by Button for 5 seconds until blue light up.3. Open phone's WLAN or wifi setting, find wireless signal named NIDAGE*****, click it and input password “12345678" to connect.4. Open the application for “HD WiFi”, the image will be dispalyed automatically.Many of us use blue tooth to play music, We go into sittings and bring up blue tooth and click on the unit that we desire to play. And that is what I did here. Nidage was listed; along with my hearing aids and blue tooth players, clicked on it, added the password 12345678 and picture was on my phone.UpdateThe next time I tried to access Nadage it did not work as one of the other reviewer stated.Directions states that we should turn on Wlan/wifi connections. We don't know what that is!To me it would be better if you said; go to your phone settings, click on wifi connections and Nadiage will be listed with other wifi connections and Bluetooth connections. When I did this it worked very well.The next time I tried to access Nadiage it was not listed. And I had trouble getting it back. I purchased this endoscope from Amazon. Reading reviews one other person had same problem, and was very unhappy. I solved this problem. When I am connected to my internet, Nadiage is not listed. by turning off my internet in my phone, going back to sitting . My phone says the following; "Turn wi-fi on in the upper right corner to see available networks. Doing this Nadiage is listed. Click on it and enter password of 12345678 and camera is available again. When Nadiage is connected you can not have the internet connected on your phone. And that was my problem.I hope this is helpful to you. This is a fine product.New updateCompany's email is listed, wrote to them with the problem I had and how I solved it. Got mail back thanking me for explaining it differently.Their email: "岑 超珍Jul 3 (4 days ago)to meHello,Thank you very much for your proposal, we have adopted your opinion in the description.

Good

This is my first experience with one of these probes, so didn't know what to order or what to expect. I decided I wanted one with decent picture quality, plus did NOT use the phone battery for power.Setup was much easier than expected. While the camera battery was charging, I downloaded the app from Google Store (easy to find and install) onto my phone and tablet. With the camera turned on, it appeared as an available WiFi connection point on the phone. Enter the password and it connects. Tap on the icon and the software runs - there's a picture the screen. It was easy - even for an old guy (I retired in '01)!First trick to learn is to orient the camera so the picture on screen is right side up BEFORE you put the camera in the hole, then try not to rotate the camera. Makes it much easier to figure out what you're seeing.Picture quality seems adequate. It's not 1080p HD by a long shot - not sure such a unit exists.Software seems to have capability for both still and video recording, but I haven't used either yet. I just wanted to see what was behind some drywall, and a 1/4" hole for the probe is much easier to patch than a hole for my head. No idea whether it records audio notes or not.Amazon suggested an accessory case for the unit and I bought it too - a good move. The unit comes in its own hard case which is fine - except too small to re-stow the unit. Once the probe cable is uncoiled, it magically becomes bigger - I didn't even try to stow it in the original case. The accessory case is larger and fits the probe, power pack, paperwork, and misc bits and pieces with no trouble.

UPDATE: DEC 2018. My single complaint (see below) was actually "pilot error". For some reason my phone was set to "not show" apps when installed. I have no idea of how that setting became active, but I changed the setting, and reinstalled the app, and I can see the "HD WIFI" app fine now.INITIAL REVIEW: okay, so I admit that initially I weighed the "good price" vs " not so optimistic expectations". I decided I'd be taking a risk, but that I was willing. WELL, wrong, wrong, and wrong. This actually works, the picture quality is beyond excellent. the wireless video transfer is very reliable. the effective range is from about 2 inches to several feet, yes I can see with good clarity, subject matter that is several feet away. with this item in hand, I have debunked my cautious thoughts. The stiffness is perfect. the length is spot-on. The picture quality is excellent, the wireless video transfer is stable and good. I can stand 15 feet away from the unit and still receive a solid video stream. my one BIG complaint is that the app is not visible on my phone. I do not know how to find it on my android O.S., every time I use it, I go to the app store and click on "installed" and it opens. INTERESTING USE - FOR THE DIY TYPES: I did an a/c repair on one of my vehicles. I decided to use the scope to monitor the a/c clutch activity. so, I placed the scope so that I could see the a/c compressor and clutch, used duct tape to secure the scope in place (safely from rotating parts and hot enigne). I drove around for 30 minutes watching the compressor/clutch cycle on and off. The scope easily survived the hot engine compartment (although not recommended) and the scope battery lasted the entire test. I was amazed to learn that the compressor cycled "on" only for about 30 seconds and "off" about 10 seconds for the low temp and low fan speed settings I had on the ac system - the car was frigid in the 94 deg Texas heat.. . but in my mind, i always imagined the cycling would have been minutes "on" and a minute or so "off"... what a surprise that very few will ever witness (or care to).
