4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Dual Lens Functionality

The Anykit endoscope features dual lenses, allowing you to switch between a front-view camera and a side-view camera without needing to attach external mirrors. This provides comprehensive viewing angles for detailed inspections.

• Front-View Camera: Ideal for direct forward inspection.
• Side-View Camera: Provides a 90-degree perspective, useful for inspecting walls of pipes or hidden areas.

4.2 Adjustable LED Illumination

The endoscope is equipped with 8 adjustable LED lights around the camera probe. These lights provide necessary illumination in dark environments, and their brightness can be adjusted via a control wheel on the cable or within the application interface to prevent overexposure and ensure clear images.

4.3 Semi-Rigid Cable

The 16.5-foot (approximately 5-meter) semi-rigid cable offers a balance of flexibility and rigidity. This design allows you to bend and shape the cable to navigate through complex spaces while maintaining its form for precise positioning of the camera. This feature is crucial for reaching distant or intricate inspection points.

The camera probe and cable are IP67 waterproof, making the endoscope suitable for use in wet or damp conditions, such as inspecting drains, pipes with water, or submerged objects. This rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
