What is an inspection camera used for?

	The inspection camera can be used for a variety of tasks and purposes. It is mainly used for viewing, inspecting and exploring hard-to-reach places.
	The camera cable can be extended and bent, allowing the head to be positioned at any angle desired by the user. This is an ideal feature when the camera head needs to go around corners or curved pipes.
	The small diameter of the cable also means that it can pass through small confined spaces, such as through small holes in a wall, and typically reach places that a conventional camera can't reach.
	Because the inspection camera can take pictures and record video, it is useful when photo evidence is needed, such as reporting a problem or backing up an offer to a customer.
	Here are a few examples of what the inspection camera can be used for:
Machine inspection
	The inspection chamber is ideal for inspecting the mechanism without having to dismantle it. Machines such as fans and air conditioners can sometimes stop working, and an inspection camera can often help pinpoint the problem.
Car inspection
	It is also a useful tool for mechanics when working on a car or other vehicles, as the camera can take a closer look at parts that are out of view without having to dismantle anything.
Pipe inspection
	The small diameter of the inspection chamber means it can be placed in tubes and pipes to check for problems such as cracks.
	If your inspection camera is waterproof, then it can also be used to check water and sewer pipes for problems such as leaks or blockages. It can also be used for household checks such as toilets, sinks or gutters. See waterproof models for more information. What are the types of inspection cameras?
Inspection of the walls
	The inspection chamber can be used when plastering, painting or renovating a wall. If the user suspects mold or rot may be forming behind the wall, it is easier to make a small hole and place the camera head to check the other side than to remove large sections of the wall.
	It can save user time and money when decorating home or workplace.
Armory work
	The gunsmith may also use an inspection camera to observe the barrel of a weapon while inspecting or repairing.
Getting items
	If your inspection camera comes with optional accessories including a hook, then the camera can be used to retrieve items that are out of the user's reach. The hook can be attached to the camera head and maneuvered to grab an item and return it to the user.
