Some of Teslong camera probes double their field of view by including two camera lenses in the probe oriented at 90-degree angles to one another. Most of Teslong’s camera probe lenses have a 70-degree field of view, which is a wide-angle view ideal for a close-up inspection. These days, good image quality won’t cost you a lot more, usually when someone is selecting a probe to buy, it’s more important to select one that is small enough to perform the inspection job you need done.įield of View – Not all industrial borescopes offer the same field of view. Unless you are watching the video on a very large screen though, it will be hard to tell the difference. Quality of Picture – All of our endoscope probes capture photos and video with a resolution of at least 720p, several models capture at 1080p. There are a few key things to look for in an industrial endoscope. This means that it will last for the majority of a working day before it needs to be recharged again. Others, however, will have a battery size of 2000mAh or more which will last for around 5 hours or possibly more. Some endoscopes will have a battery size of around 1000mAh or less, which is likely to only give you up to two hours of battery before it needs to be recharged. If you choose an endoscope that works with its own battery power, rather than through a smartphone or laptop, you will need to select an endoscope with an appropriate battery size. On the other hand, if you need your endoscope to hold more of a structure you will want to choose either a rigid endoscope or at least a semi-rigid endoscope. If you are looking to use an endoscope to explore pipework or similar installations, you are going to want to choose a flexible endoscope that will allow you to feed the camera around bends with ease. You also need to think about the flexibility of the cable. You might find that just a few feet are all that you need. With this in mind, it is recommended that you choose the length depending on the specific application you wish to use it for. CABLE LENGTHĪlthough you may think that longer is better, you are likely to find that having too much cable simply gets in the way.
However, if you require a very high image quality for your application, keep that in mind as you do your research. Most endoscopes will now offer a HD image quality or at least 720p, so this shouldn’t be an issue.
If you require your endoscope to be as mobile as possible you are going to want to choose one that works with a smartphone or on its own, rather than having to carry around a laptop. When it comes to choosing an endoscope, there are several factors you need to consider: COMPATIBILITYĮndoscopes can work with a smartphone or laptop either via WiFi or through a USB connection, otherwise, you can select a stand-alone endoscope that works without the need for any other device.
