This small camera used to look inside electronics and other confined areas. When I got it, the USB cable was intermittent — flexing the cable near where it enters the camera would break the connection. I opened the case, removed a few inches of the USB cable, reattached the internal connector, and reassembled the camera. I located the correct driver for it and will send you a ZIP file after purchase; I will just need your email.

This camera uses the STK1160 USB video‑capture chipset, which is well‑known for stable performance and compatibility with Windows video applications. Unlike the inexpensive generic borescopes that rely on basic UVC drivers, STK1160 devices behave like proper USB capture hardware: they show up in OBS, AMCap, and other DirectShow programs as a standard video source. The chipset provides good color reproduction, reliable LED control, and a very close working distance ideal for electronics inspection, connector examination, and other tight‑space visual tasks.

The video shows the camera working — the light comes on automatically when you plug it into your USB port. The video shows examining a vacuum tube I had handy, as well as looking at the computer screen displaying the image of looking at the computer screen. This camera is designed to operate a fraction of an inch from its subject; there is a focus slider on the body.

Note to me: 3rd thin drawer

I normally ship within 24 hours of your order, but the post office does not always initiate tracking when I put the packages in the drop off box.
