In this category, “borescope” and “endoscope camera” are often used for the same type of non‑medical inspection tool that works with Android (and sometimes iOS). Traditionally, a borescope refers to industrial inspections, while an endoscope can mean medical tools—however, the products here are meant for automotive, plumbing, and general home tasks.

• Probe & build: Flexible or semi‑rigid cables with a tiny camera and LEDs.
• Features vary: Single or dual lens, 1080p–1920p video, adjustable lights, 2× digital zoom.
• Ratings: Many list IP67 water resistance for damp or dusty spaces.

If you need medical devices or advice, please consult a healthcare professional. For shopping, compare specs on the product page to match your task and phone.

The most reliable choice is the app specified for your exact Android endoscope. Using the recommended app helps features like resolution control, dual‑lens switching, and LED brightness work as intended.

• Find it: Check the product page, manual, or QR code in the box.
• Match connection: USB‑C/micro‑USB models typically use a “USB camera/UVC” app; Wi‑Fi models use a companion app via the device’s hotspot.
• Permissions: Allow Camera, Storage, and (for Wi‑Fi) Location.
• Note: Models with a built‑in screen usually don’t need an app.

Results can vary by phone and Android version. Review compatibility notes on the Walmart product listing if you’re unsure.

The endoscope tool app displays and records video from your Android inspection camera. Depending on your model and app, you may get:

• Live view with rotate/mirror options for easier orientation.
• Photo/video capture with files saved to your phone’s gallery.
• LED brightness control for dark spaces.
• Resolution settings (for 1080p–1920p hardware) and digital zoom.
• Lens switching if your borescope has dual front/side cameras.

Features vary by device. Grant requested permissions, follow the quick‑start guide in the box, and check the product description or user guide on Walmart.com for model‑specific app info.

Connection issues can come from compatibility, power, or app setup. These tips may help:

• Confirm hardware: Use the correct plug (USB‑C/micro‑USB) and ensure your phone supports OTG/USB host. Some phones may not support external UVC cameras.
• Wi‑Fi models: Join the endoscope’s 2.4 GHz hotspot, then open its app. Temporarily turn off cellular data if the phone keeps switching networks.
• Permissions & power: Allow app permissions; charge the endoscope (if wireless) or keep your phone well charged.
• Cables & moisture: Fully seat connectors. If the probe got wet, dry ports before reconnecting; water in ports can interrupt power/data.

If issues continue, try a second device to isolate the problem and review troubleshooting on the product page.

Both work with Android, but each has strengths:

• Wi‑Fi endoscope: Connects via a 2.4 GHz hotspot and often supports Android and iOS. It’s flexible to handle and cord‑friendly, but can introduce slight video lag and needs charging.
• USB endoscope: Plugs into USB‑C or micro‑USB and can offer lower latency with no extra charging. Your phone must support OTG/USB host, and you’ll have a tethered cable.

Pick Wi‑Fi for cross‑platform use and freer movement, or USB for quick plug‑in and minimal lag. Check the compatibility details in the specs section on Walmart.com before buying.
