DEPSTECH WF010 3.5M

WiFI password was not the default and was unchangeable which made the device inaccessible. Obviously this was a defective return re-shipped as new. UPDATE - Re-evaluated from 1 Star to 5 Stars and here's why: Customer Service Depstech reached out to me and sent me a replacement unit last winter. Same model, and worked fine. Device design had it's limitations (which they and I discussed at length) but they did me right, listened to my grumbles and got me up and running. An easy bump to 3 Stars (my bad because I forgot to update the review). Fast-forward 6 months, Depstech reaches out to me again: They were verifying my current address as they wanted to send me a newer version of my E-Scope, all they asked in return was for me to play with it and, if I would, upgrade my review. I agreed. I must admit I am impressed (not easy to do). The new device has many of the improvements we had spoke of and its performance is much improved: Reset button - a must have item and added to the new device A new App - easy to use and integrates well on my iPhone (No droid to test with) I liked the 90 degree rotation option as well, nice touch. Improved resolutions - even better, you can easily select the res you want. Spring clip - grips your phone snugly, even the larger ones (I have an Iphone XS Max). This is the best improvement by far. Using the device is much easier and handling it is much smoother. I found the new device to be an excellent replacement and send many kudos to their customer service department for going the extra mile by reaching out to me (unprompted) and letting me try out their improved device. That said, I do have 2 recommendations that have no impact on the 5 Stars I'm now giving this device: 1 - The brightness wheel is a little touchy and loose which makes it hard to get the exact level desired. A smoother wheel with a wider dim range would help. 2 - Recess the power switch or make it a timed button (2 sec press to power off/on). I inadvertently powered the device off a couple of times when I was trying to adjust the brightness while it was attached to the phone. Depstech has done a great job with this excellently improved device and I would not hesitate to recommend this to a friend or anyone looking for a good, portable endoscope.

I like the product in general. Used to inspect chimneys, pipes, pull the wires through walls. Very handy. Picking a model which relies on a phone as a screen was probably not a good idea. Endoscope definitely works as advertised and the picture quality is very decent. What I did not like is that the device talks to the phone over WiFi directly i.e. you have to disconnect the phone from your access point and connect to a WiFi presented by the endoscope. Since the phones tend to connect to the access points in the house, a slight signal strength fluctuation disconnects the device. You can work around that by disabling automatic connections on the phone, but it is all a lot of hassle, which you may opt to go with to save some change on the endoscope without a screen. The phone application that comes with the device is extremely basic and awkward to use. WiFi connection probably takes up quite a bit of power, so the battery charge does not last long. I had to recharge the unit multiple times in a day while working on a project. Maybe it is just a battery that has a fairly low capacity. All in all the device is well made and very handy. If you are planning to use it only occasionally, then saving some money on the dedicated screen is worth it. If you are going to use it frequently, probably not.

Okay. I told this thing that if it got me out of the mess I was in I would write it a positive review. And a deal's a deal. I had been working on my vehicle; replacing intake manifold gaskets. The engine intakes had been carefully covered with a towel to keep anything from dropping down into them, and I was just beginning re-assembly when I noticed that the mating surfaces were kinda grungy. I moved the towel off of one of the intake ports and spritzed a little solvent onto a rag. On taking my finger off the spray nozzle, it slowly lifted up off of the can, rotated gently in mid-air a few times and then dropped straight into the *only* uncovered opening. Nothing but net. I could not have made a better shot using a funnel. But there it was. Fortunately, this was not one of those pencil-eraser sized sprayers but looked more like what's on a can of shaving cream. Problem was, I could see it (sorta; in the right light and standing on my head) but I just couldn't get to it. I tried with my finger, and I'm sure we all know how helpful that was. I tried one of the little flex grabbers and that just pushed it down further. I even tried using a shop vac to drag it out of there, and I'd swear there was someone holding it from the other side. I mean, I had enough suction that I was pulling oil out of the crankcase but this thing wouldn't budge. So while in my resigned, peaceful Zen-like meditation of deciding whether to ponder the meaning of life or simply let out a blast of language that would keep the neighborhood kids in therapy for years, I recalled having used a fiber-optic scope with a hook on the end of it many, many moons ago. And where does one go to find something like that these days? Amazon. In looking over various options, I decided on this little guy as the best fit between price, function and features. It arrived on time and in a box that was significantly smaller than I had expected. Setup was relatively painless and the app is pretty simple to use. I initially tested the camera with my Android phone but soon realized that, for my use case, I was going to want something a bit larger and easier to see without having to hold. I installed the app onto an old tablet running Android Kit-Kat, which took off and worked just as well as my current-version phone. The moment of truth had arrived. I threaded the hook attachment onto the front of the camera (for those that may not notice, there is a trim ring at the front of the camera that must be removed in order to use any of the extra, supplied tools). I also noticed some people report experiencing issues with the camera staying connected. I found, as a few others suggested, that if you turn off your cellular data the connection stays solid. My guess is that the WiFi transmitter just isn't intended to let the neighbors down the street tune in and live-stream the show. So if it drifts a bit, and your phone is set to auto-toggle between WiFi and Cell to maintain the best reception, you're liable to get knocked off. If you're seeing a connectivity problem, try turning off the Cell data and see if it clears up. Anyway, I have to admit that it took me about ten minutes to get my bearings on how to orient this round camera in a square hole 3D environment. My first foray knocked the little devil down about another half-inch or so. That might not sound like much, but when you're already panicked it seemed like it had fallen off a cliff. So after a few minutes of out-of-the-scary-place practice, I was ready to try again. Though I wouldn't really call it easy, I did find that as I used it, and varied the light level to minimize reflections coming off the polished metal sections, it became more apparent how I needed to position the camera for optimum grab. And after about two minutes of rotating and lifting and corner turning, I saw that the cap was moving as I began to withdraw camera. Very carefully, very slowly, and offering prayers to pretty much every deity I could think of (in fact, I think I still need to sacrifice a cactus under a full moon while wearing orange parachute pants for one of those guys), I had cleared the housing and had the cap in my hand! After a few moments of jubilant dancing and high-fiving everything around me (there's one very confused squirrel at my place, now, BTW) I then threw it and the can it had come from as far and as hard as I could toward the back of the house. About half-way through its arc, I truly expected to see it take a hook turn into one of the windows. But it apparently decided it had done enough damage for one lifetime and simply bounced off into the weeds. And as far as this little camera goes - it did what I needed it to do, for a good price, with only a moderate learning curve and plenty of extra cable had I needed to find something further down. I, for one, am quite satisfied with both the product and the outcome for which it was purchased. It saved me more than its cost just in aggravation, not to mention the additional parts that would have been required had I had to dismantle the top of the motor. I give it a job well done.

My plumber was very impressed!

The inbuilt lighting and dimmer are fantastic as is the picture button facility. Really impressed with the quality and features. That said the instructions were a little difficult to follow but i went to school before electronic calculators let alone computers so take that with a grain of salt.

This scoping tool is actually not bad at all. It's easy to set up and use within a few minutes. The only downside is that the focal distance is quite short. that means that the picture looks rather fuzzy at anything over perhaps 15 centimetres. The lights work well out to that distance however. I was using this to scope for rodent activity in the spaces between floors of my house, and it worked well for that, despite having a relatively short imaging range. The shaft was firm enough to handle being moved out to its full length, which made a scan along the length of the floor joists quite simple. A good idea would be to have some kind of phone holder on a tripod or similar so that you can work solo - moving the camera while also juggling a smartphone is a bit tedious. DEPSTECH sent me this scope as a replacement for one that was never delivered by Amazon, and I'm glad to have received this model.
