DEPSTECH-View

I’ve owned and loved my borescope made by this company for over 3 years. It never had a single problem until they updated from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3. Once 1.7.3 came out, the borescope didn’t work anymore. I’ve tried everything, including downloading the app on other devices made by different brands, to no avail, but the moment I pulled out my +3-year-old iPhone with the previous app version still on it. Suddenly the borescope works without any hitches. They made an update for their app to kill their previous model borescopes to force owners to buy a new one! Shame shame!!

The app works however, this wasn’t useful for me because of the limiting quality of the camera. There is an option in the app to change the res but I can’t tell even the slightest difference between any of them to the point that I almost feel like I’m not actually changing the res. There’s no way to actually know this however because there is no indicator in the app that displays the res or confirms that the res was actually changed. The camera was cheap and the app is free so it’s a great price and nice concept so I’m sure it will work great for many, unfortunately it just didn’t work out for my application.

Setup was super simple on the iPad Mini 6. Connected on first try. The app is simple but effective. I love the rotate screen feature. The previous scope I used doesn’t have that and it’s quite the pain figuring out what you are looking at. The only issue that I came across is if the scene is bright, the onscreen buttons wash out and become difficult to see and use. Not a big deal really. This is a fairly affordable tool when you need to look into a wall or any hole. Very pleased so far.
