Nope, IOS is specifically excluded. And the Android software must be
scanned from the QR codes in the booklet, or read into a PC from a teeny CD
for Windows. That scanning gave me fits since I'd never read a QR code.
However, I have found that other apps from Google Play Store will work with
the camera just as well.

Remember I said I ordered it 3 weeks ago. I was hoping it would come in
one week, 'cause I had an endoscopy week before last. Could have saved
Medicare some $$$. :-)

Of it's output? There's probably some way to do that, but I don't know it
yet. I'll try to remember to figure it out and post some soon.

Bought these usb endoscopes in 2014 and again in 2015. Donated a couple to the guys at the Co-op. Works great on laptop.

Kerry,

I no longer have the exact link, but this looks like the same thing for
only $1.00 more:
http://www.banggood.com/2M-USB-Borescope-Endoscope-Waterproof-Inspection-Tube-Video-Camera-p-87566.html

A search of that page on "endoscope" will yield dozens of similar ones.
The Prime offerings on Amazon look pretty attractive too.

I just bought this one 'cause it was SO cheeep that I hit "Buy It Now" and
forgot about it, so it may not come close to being the best deal. Don't
count on the display being bigger than Bo's though, unless you display it
on a laptop.

Ken

That one is a 1/9 cmos according to the specs. I'm not up to speed on cam resolutions but a search says it's 640 x 480. That was the resolution of my first endoscopes and I found it to be decent but not quite good enough to really inspect well. I upgraded a year later to the one linked above. Resolution is good, but not fantastic.

Just to level set; endoscopes are for people, borescopes are for engines.
I'm checking to be sure we are talking about GMCs here.
