With the hand-held, battery-powered Cordless Inspection Camera (or borescope), one is able to observe areas too cramped, too far away, or entirely out of reach on a monitor that's attached to a flexible shaft with a micro-camera at the end. Once the shaft is maneuvered into position, the user can see what the camera sees. Some models have detachable monitors that allow for remote viewing, LED lights to illuminate the work area, plug-in adapters to provide long-term power, software to capture still images and record video to then be viewed on the computer, and mechanisms to provide digital zoom plus image rotation.
