Oiiwak 50FT Endoscope Inspection Camera, 1080P HD Borescope With 4.3" IPS Screen for Pipe Sewer Drain Plumbing - IP67 Waterproof Snake Scope With 6 LED Lights (15m Cable)

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

Works well I'd buy again.

I bought this so I could run it down my sewer line outside to check for any pipe breaks. We just bought a rental house so I wanted to do an inspection before we get to far into renovating it. I read all of the reviews before hand so I knew I was going to need to add something to stiffen up the cable and possibly another light source. I bought a couple of 20ft sticks of 1/2” PEX and a couple of cheap LED flashlights. The plan was to tape the camera to the end of the PEX with the flashlight and run it down the pipe. Seemed like this was a solid idea. Got my supplies laid out tested my flashlights and unboxed my camera and to my surprise it did not work!! The LEDs come on and I can adjust the brightness, but I can’t get the camera to come on. I only get a blue screen, which is normally what happens when you have a connection issue. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in over 50 times. Tried blowing the usb connection point out like an old Nintendo game!! Tried charging it up to 100% and still no luck. Tried pulling the microSD card out and reinserting and still nothing. I was really needing to get this done already but now will either have to hire a plumber to scope it or buy another camera and cross my fingers. Not saying that everyone of these cameras are trash, but boy mine sure was. Just wanted to give everyone a warning to not get your hopes up.

I purchase this product to look down into the floor vents in the lower level of Our house. The vents in this level are encased in concrete and inaccessible to observe and evaluate in any other manor. Plus sides, the light brightness adjustment was as described and very helpful in the conditions within which I was working. The controls were straightforward and very easy to use right out of the box. The recording function was more than adequate for my needs and for that of most users in my opinion. Did not try it in wet conditions. Cons, the wire is not rigid enough to push further than a few feet as even when strait it tends to curl up on itself when pressure is applied. This rendering it useless for long runs. (Work around used for this below). Battery life appeared short. As I fully charges the unit out of the box. Used it for about 30 minutes and was called away for several hours. Before leaving I turned the unit off and returned to a dead unit. Opinion, for the dollars this is a good unit for 25 feet or less. When used on straight runs. I found using an electrical fish tape attached to the wire allowed me to extend the distance of usability considerably. There will be some issues with orientation when using, however with use they are manageable. For the dollars, this is a good unit when used within the parameters indicated previously. Unfortunately, I will need to upgrade to something just a little more stable for future uses. Good luck.

Great picture ,works well

Problem: Can't find the home's 1-1/2"id condensation drain pipe laid under the basement concrete floor and ends out back, but where? It's outlet is totally clogged and won't clear. I chose the Oiiwak because it had the highest waterproof rating. This 50' camera snake is not meant for long horizontal pipes. So, i attached 2 hard plastic balls (1", 1-1/4") to the camera, and a 25' sewer snake to the cable, all secured with waterproof tape (see photo of tools and materials used). I slid the apparatus down a vertical 17" pipe to a 90-degree elbow, which it slid through like grease, and zipped through the water-filled pipe to the next bend (135-degree). I could twist the camera, via the sewer snake, to view (clear water) the entire join*, and then continued the trip until the sewer snake ended. There was sludge, so i knew i was close to the pipe's outlet. I used the tools and materials in the second photo to calculate where the outlet was, and i was precisely right. Had to guess the depth it was buried. The end was under a shed wouldn't you know! Cut a 2'x5' hole in the floor and joined an extension so the outlet is where anyone can now find it. Hooray! Try this at your own risk, and there are risks! *Wish the camera had a square, or better yet, round view, instead of rectangular. That's why 4 stars. If this page allows it, i will shoot and attach a video of the camera's lightning trip through the water in the pipe. The only cost was the Oiiwak. Everything else was from my workshop. The balls stopped the camera from snagging on the elbows, kept the camera out of the slime, and improved the view and lighting.
