Great, thank you Rich, choosing Rear-facing camera in the Win 10 Camera app did the trick with my USB cable connected Shekhar Endoscope (not wifi connection as mentioned in Jonathon Neville comment). Once it was operating I was able to investigate inside a 4 metre long archway beam comprised of two steel joists, at the junction of another archway at 90 degrees with a metal lintel, within our kitchen extension wall so that I was able to install a new 45amp cable run for an electric hob/oven. This meant I could hide the cabling by running it along one of the joists inside the plasterboard boxing. Just a couple of small inspection holes plus a larger hand access hole in the boxing to make good. The other alternatives would have been some unsightly cable+conduit weaving around the archways, or taking a new armoured cable outside from the distribution board and around the house and coming in again at the far end of the kitchen. Of course I had to know whether it was going to be possible to feed the cable through, and the endoscope was the sensible way to verify it before embarking on the work. A bit fiddly but worth it in the end.
cool. alas, for me the camera app doesn't include the switch-to-rear-view-camera option. using Windows 10 Home, version 20H2 (the latest). The boroscope/borescope/endoscope is turne on! (Lights are emitted from the camera.) And the camera is connected by usb to the laptop. It's a wifi endoscope (borescope, actually) - perhaps it only connects via wifi, not usb. It is now connected by wifi, but still despite closing and opening the Windows camera app, it doesn't appear. oh well, there are many apps on google play which ought to work with my phone. edit: the app "HD Wifi" worked for me - on my phone, not laptop
Hi Johnathon, Have you tried adding it as a WiFi device on Windows 10? There is a few info packs on the net r.e. installation of boroscope/endoscopes. Here is one I found that may help. www.oasisscientific.com/downloads.html I am not aligned with them in any way.
@@richardledden-cooper9885 Thanks. At first I thought the Oasis software was just for Oasis instruments, but the site offers multiple software programs, including ones not made by Oasis, mostly universal. Cool.
