InspectCam™What "tested" means here
One rule governs this page, and it is worth stating plainly because almost no other compatibility page follows it.
No model appears in the table unless it has been physically connected to an Android phone, run, and observed — with the date of that test recorded.
No row is ever generated from a spec sheet, a manufacturer's claim, a customer report, or by inference from a similar model in the same product line.
The reason is not modesty. Auto-generated compatibility pages — one page per model, populated from a parts database — are a well-known spam pattern, and search engines classify them accordingly. A page like that would rank for nothing and would deserve to.
More importantly, it would be useless. The entire value of a compatibility list is that someone can trust a row enough to spend money on the hardware. One invented row destroys that for every other row on the page. A short table with an honest explanation is worth more than a full table of guesses.
If your model isn't listed
If your scope isn't listed, it hasn't been tested with InspectCam™. Most scopes sold on Amazon won't work. Two things you can do:
- Tell us which scope you own. Email support@inspectcam.app with the brand, the exact model number, and whether it's USB or Wi-Fi.
- Work out whether it's a UVC device. Standard UVC scopes can work with Android viewer apps; in InspectCam™ only the Klein Tools ET16 is tested. Proprietary ones only ever work with the manufacturer's own app. The troubleshooting guide explains how to tell the difference, and covers the cable and permission problems that account for most failures.

Questions people ask
Which borescopes work with InspectCam™?
Works with: Klein Tools ET16 (tested). Tested and doesn't work: DEPSTECH NTC55, Bazo DN200 and a scope sold as “Industrial scope W400”; they only work with their maker's app. Most scopes sold on Amazon won't work. What Android reported for each is on the troubleshooting page.
Will my borescope work with Android?
If it's a standard UVC device and you have a data-capable cable and a phone with USB OTG, almost certainly, in a viewer app that supports it; in InspectCam™ only the Klein Tools ET16 is tested. If it's a proprietary scope that demands a specific app, no third-party app can see it. The troubleshooting guide explains how to check which you have.
Do USB borescopes work with an iPhone?
Not a standard UVC scope, which is what most of them are. Apple restricts external UVC camera support to iPads with USB-C connectors, so an iPhone cannot read one even with a USB-C port. Scopes sold specifically for iPhone use Apple's MFi accessory programme instead and work only in their maker's app. Full explanation and Apple's own statement on the iPhone borescope page.
How do I get my scope added to the list?
A scope is added only once we have tested it on a phone. If you want us to know which scope you own, email the brand and exact model to support@inspectcam.app.
How often is this list updated?
Each row carries its own test date, so you can see how current any individual entry is rather than trusting a single page-level date.
Scope not being detected?
Most failures aren't compatibility at all — they're a charge-only cable, USB OTG, or a permission prompt that got dismissed. The Android troubleshooting guide works through the causes in order of likelihood.
