I'm about to cut some holes in the wall to upgrade the plumbing in our house (a professional will do the actual plumbing). I wanted to see where the pipes run and what is in the way.
So I risked $58 on an Oiiwak Industrial Endoscope aka Borescope. This is a box with a 4.3 inch diagonal color screen and an 11 foot cable with a 5.5 mm diameter 1080p camera and LED lights at the other end. It includes an 8 GB microSDXC card and a USB cable. When I plug the unit into an ancient laptop with an old distro, the memory card mounts on the desktop, pretty much like the memory card in my old brickphone. There may be dodopaddle or perhaps linux apps that can connect to the camera directly, but the handheld screen is fine for capturing images and videos to the memory card ... which I replaced with a SanDisk 64GB card. Now to poke holes in the drywall and fish some camera cable. What fun! Yet another fun toy usable with our Linux laptops and computers. I'll use it off and on until fall, then I might loan it out to my linux brethren and sistren.
