7. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Lens: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
- Storage: Store the endoscope camera and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case when not in use.
- Waterproof Care: While the camera probe is IP68 waterproof, ensure the WiFi module and USB connections remain dry. After use in wet conditions, thoroughly dry the camera probe before storage.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Image/Connection Issues:
- Ensure the WiFi module is fully charged and powered on (green light flashing).
- Verify that your device is connected to the correct WiFi network (e.g., "inskam_***").
- Restart the app and/or the WiFi module.
- For PC connection, ensure the correct driver is installed and the viewing software is compatible. - App Freezing/Lagging:
- Check if your smartphone or iPhone has sufficient free memory.
- Ensure the app is updated to the latest version.
- Try restarting your mobile device. - Unclear Camera Image:
- Adjust the LED brightness using the 'Gear Dimming' control.
- Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions.
- Verify that the object being viewed is within the optimal focal distance of 5-10 CM.
9. User Tips
- Waterproof Understanding: An IP68 waterproof rating means the camera probe can be submerged in water for a certain depth and duration without damage. However, the WiFi module itself is not waterproof and should be kept dry.
- Cable Flexibility: This endoscope camera is available with both 'Hard Wire' and 'Soft Cable' options. The hard wire offers greater rigidity for pushing into tight spaces, while the soft cable provides more flexibility.
- TV Connectivity: The endoscope does not directly connect to a TV screen. However, if your TV has an Android operating system and allows for the installation of the compatible app (e.g., YC Camera), it might be possible to view the feed through the TV's smart features.
