Anybody got experience with low budget endoscopes? Like, €30 amazon ones without a screen, just a USB plug and/or wireless connection. Are they useful or just trash? Do they communicate by some common future proof standard or is it some dodgy Chinese app only?

I need it primarily to examine some wall interiors but secondarily it would be interesting to explore other parts of the house and the world.

    I recently bought one like you’re talking about for $1.79 on aliexpress. It’s surprisingly decent. It communicates as a normal webcam when plugged into your PC so you can just open up the built in camera app if you’re on windows and it shows up. Also came with normal endoscope accessories, eg. Hook, magnet, mirror attachment.

      Thanks, I might look into it then. Surprisingly decent and standard webcam over USB is what I’d be happy to receive for that money.
