Inspection time. – [Upgraded Version] Ragu Directs’ Distianert Endoscope 8.5MM 2.0 Megapixel 2 In 1 Smartphone + USB

Standard

 

My husband and older son are commercial electricians, and carpenters. They work in really tight spaces sometimes, and when they go into an existing build and have to trouble shoot problems, an endoscope really helps them out. They already have and use one, so we are not new to them. We were happy to see this upgraded version. We already have one that we use via our Android phones and one that you need your computer on deck, to use it. This one has upped the game with technology, at an affordable price. We have Samsung phones: Edge 6 and Note 5, in our homes. This unit just plugs and plays via the camera. You need to flip up half of the USB port, to turn it into the micro USB end. Then attach it to your phone, and open up your camera. You have to agree to it, and then you are in. Then just follow the icons to snap photos or take videos. That is literally all you have to do. Your chosen decide you plug it into, is what powers it. As soon as you plug it in, the 6 LEDs turn on. They are very bright. Now, even though it is highly usable without the app on my phone, I went ahead and scanned the QR code in the instructional booklet, after using it both on my phone and laptop. So, it isn’t necessary, if you have limited space on your phone. The app is called UsbCamera, and it is free. You can’t even look at the app without the camera not being plugged in either. Then, you still have to allow your phone to use the camera for the USB. So, there really is no difference on my Note 5. This endoscope comes with drawstring storage bag, head attachments, an instruction booklet, and a mini CD. Now, I have a newer laptop with Windows 10 on it. I never install via a disc, unless I have too. So, I always try things straight forward, and then try the items it comes with, to really test out a product. It literally plugged into my laptop, and automatically installed its’ drivers. I never had to load the mini disc. This unit is 13ft long, and the head diameter is 8.5mm. It comes with a mirror, hook, and magnet attachments. They are simple attachments, and the magnet keeps coming loose on me. It is waterproof. So no worries about looking into clogged drains and toilets. Now. I did delete the app off of my phone shortly after install. With use, it stopped working well with the endoscope for me. It works better as plug and play on my phone. I was not able to separately control my LEDs, in regards to their brightness levels. That didn’t matter to me. They are bright, and when you shove it into places, it’s normally dark where you’re using it. The images aren’t as clear as my regular camera, or laptop camera is, but the images are still legible. These are the resolution specs from their site: “1600*1200 & 2.0 Megapixel.” You can tell it’s a 2megapixel camera. But, since this can send you a clear enough image to diagnose with, it’s all we need. It has been working well for us. We love the plug and play simplicity with the phone. It is so much more convenient for my guys this way. And it fits into any tool bag, as well.

Tempered protection. – Foxx Electronics’ Samsung Note 5 Tempered Glass Screen Protector.

Standard

We are not new to tempered glass phone screens. My husband uses them all of the time. I am quite impressed with them. They literally become another screen for your phone. They are very clear on, while providing great scratch and impact protection for your real, and very expensive screen. This particular screen protector, for the Galaxy Note 5, from Foxx Electronics has a 9H rating. It does not diminish your touch sensitivity at all. Your screen will continue to be bright and clear. This particular protector comes with a dust removal sticker, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and an alcohol prep towelette. Just make sure your screen is really clean before applying it. Then place it on. It gets bubbles like a regular screen protector. You need to push them out the same way. You can lift it up and reapply it if necessary. These tempered glass screen protectors are also harder to scratch than regular, flexible protectors. That is our personal experience. My husband likes using them because of this. His jobs are very hands on, and his phone gets knocked around. He relies heavily on a solid screen protector and phone case. He even just moved his old tempered glass screen protector to his replacement phone he just got from T-Mobile, that is how usable they are. He has switched to this one though, since the other one was about a year old.
