An endoscope camera is a tiny camera attached to the end of a long cable, that enables people to look inside hard-to-reach areas that otherwise would not be visible to the human eye. The endoscope was traditionally used for medical purposes only, but it proved to be so useful that industrial endoscopes were developed to look inside of many other places that needed a visual inspection. Without an endoscope, oftentimes inspectors are forced to do a painstaking disassembly or a destructive inspection. Endoscopes are great problem solvers for mechanical inspection, car repair, plumbing fixes, electrical installs, house DIY, wall upgrades, HVAC maintenance, and more. Many endoscope cameras are compatible with Android and or IOS operating systems so that they can be viewed directly through a smartphone, either using WiFi or with a USB cable.
Industrial borescopes, as the name suggests, are designed for industrial use, which means they’re typically used to identify problems in engines, in building walls, or in plumbing pipes - places that are not easily seen with the human eye. Also, let's not forget inside the barrel of a rifle.
Endoscopes are generally only used in medical applications to look inside a patient’s body and are built to extraordinary surgical standards. They have been designed to be extremely maneuverable, so they don’t do more harm than good, which also makes them astronomically more expensive than the typical industrial borescope.
There are a few key things to look for in an industrial endoscope. These are:
Quality of Picture – do you need HD or can you make do with 720p? These days, good image quality won’t cost you a lot more, so consider what kind of issues you need to diagnose and how much detail is needed.
Field of View – not all industrial borescopes offer the same field of view, which is essentially how much of what is in front of the camera it shows. If you’re going to be identifying small issues, a smaller field of view is good, while a larger field of view is best for larger areas.

Maneuverability – borescopes aren’t as flexible as medical endoscopes, but that doesn’t mean you have to choose a rigid borescope. If you need a lot of flexibility, consider using an articulated borescope which will provide you with a much greater level of control.
Budget – you don’t need to spend a lot to get a great borescope, but if you need it for specialized use, you may have to spend more. However, most people will be able to get the borescope they need for $50 - $250.
Length of Cable – if you’re only going to be inspecting issues in your rifle or car engine, you don’t need a cable that’s 15ft long. Consider what kind of issues you’re going to inspect and choose a borescope with an appropriate cable length.
Diameter – make sure the diameter of the borescope is not too big for the application you need it for. Generally, a smaller diameter will give you better maneuverability, though it does depend on the size of the space you typically work with.
Telsong’s inspection camera probes typically are available with either a single-lens design, plus a right-angle mirror, or they are available with a dual-lens design. The single-lens-with-mirror probes are less expensive, and they are better for looking sideways at surfaces up close. Most commonly, this benefits Teslong’s gun borescope customers. The single-lens-plus-mirror design can slip down a gun barrel and look sideways at the fluting of the barrel right next to the lens probe. If you use a dual-lens probe for this type of application the right-angle lens will actually be too close to the gun barrel surface and sharp focus will be impossible. This is why all of our gun borescopes use a single lens with a mirror instead of a dual lens. For most other applications, like looking down a spark plug hole into the combustion chamber of a car engine, the dual lens design typically works better and gives a wider field of view.
