Pick an iPhone borescope based on how you’ll connect and where you’ll use it.

• Compatibility: Wireless Wi‑Fi borescopes work with most iPhones. Newer USB‑C iPhones (e.g., recent models) can use USB‑C borescopes.
• Image quality: Look for 1080p or 1920P HD for clearer video.
• Lens setup: Single-lens is slim; dual-lens adds a side view for corners.
• LEDs: Adjustable brightness (often 6–9 LEDs) helps in dark spaces.
• Cable: Semi‑rigid holds its shape; lengths range from 10 ft to 49.2 ft.
• Water rating: IP67 waterproof is useful for drains and damp areas.
• Power: Check battery size on wireless models.

On Walmart product pages, review the specs and customer feedback to confirm iOS support and app details.

For phone use, both terms usually refer to the same kind of non‑medical inspection camera: a slim, LED‑lit “snake” camera for tight spaces.

• Labeling: “Borescope” often leans industrial; “endoscope” is a broader retail term. In this category, they’re commonly interchangeable.
• What matters: Focus on features like resolution (e.g., 1920P), lens diameter (about 5.5–8 mm), dual‑lens options, and IP67 waterproofing.
• Phone connection: Many models connect by Wi‑Fi; some USB‑C borescopes work with the latest USB‑C iPhones.

Instead of the name, check the compatibility notes, app support for iOS, and the cable type/length that fits your task.

Most iPhone borescopes use a companion app listed in the manual or on the product page.

1. Find the app: Scan the QR code in the instructions or search the product’s companion app name on the Apple App Store.
2. Wireless models: Power the borescope, join its Wi‑Fi network in Settings, then open the app to view video.
3. USB‑C models: Plug into a USB‑C iPhone, open the recommended app, and allow any permissions.

Only download apps from the Apple App Store and review permissions (camera, photos, local network) before granting access. If video doesn’t appear, update the app and iOS, restart both devices, and recheck the instructions for your specific model.

Connection steps vary by model, but these basics can help:

• Wi‑Fi borescopes: Charge and power on the device. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi‑Fi and join the borescope’s network. Open the companion app and follow prompts to start the live view.
• USB‑C borescopes (newer iPhones): Plug the camera into your phone’s USB‑C port, launch the recommended app, and allow any requested permissions.
• Troubleshooting: Keep the phone close to the transmitter, adjust LED brightness in the app, and confirm your model lists iOS support. Updating firmware/app and restarting both devices can also help.

Refer to the product’s instructions on the Walmart listing for model‑specific steps.

Match the borescope to your workspace and access points:

• Length: 3.3–10 ft works for quick household checks (appliances, vents). 16.4 ft is versatile for sinks and wall cavities. 49.2 ft helps with longer plumbing runs or larger areas.
• Diameter: Around 5.5–7.9 mm fits tighter spaces; 8 mm is common and often offers brighter LEDs. Dual‑lens modules are slightly larger but give a helpful side view.
• Cable type: Semi‑rigid holds shape for pushing and aiming; softer cables follow curves more easily.
• Environment: IP67 waterproofing is useful for damp or splash‑prone jobs.

Use filters and specs on Walmart product pages to compare diameters, lengths, and features for your project.
