In this app, the developer aims to transform your Android phone into a portable inspection camera, leveraging the capabilities of USB On-The-Go (OTG) technology. The "Camera endoscope" app, developed by Asteroid Tech, is designed to connect with external USB cameras, such as endoscopes, borescopes, microscopes, and other inspection cameras. The primary function is to provide a live, high-definition video feed from these cameras directly to the user's phone, enabling visual access to hard-to-reach or confined spaces.
Key features emphasized in the description include broad camera compatibility, supporting various USB and OTG cameras. The app promises a "plug & play" experience, eliminating complex setup procedures. Users can expect to view and record real-time HD video (MP4 720p) and capture still images (JPG). A built-in gallery facilitates easy viewing, deletion, and sharing of recorded media. The inclusion of an OTG checker tool is a helpful addition, allowing users to verify their device's compatibility before investing time and effort. Finally, the support for audio recording using the device's microphone aims to augment the video recordings with sound.
The app's utility spans across various professions and hobbies. It could be beneficial for technicians needing to inspect machinery, plumbers checking pipe integrity, mechanics examining engine components, and DIY enthusiasts tackling home repairs or modifications in tight spaces. The use cases highlighted in the description – pipe inspection, car repairs, plumbing checks, and machine maintenance – are representative of the app's target applications.
The target audience appears to be broad, encompassing anyone who needs a visual aid for inspection in areas difficult to access directly. This includes professionals in various trades, as well as hobbyists and homeowners undertaking projects that require visual inspection in confined spaces.
However, the app currently has a rating of 0/5 on the Google Play Store. This is a significant red flag, suggesting potential issues with functionality, usability, or overall performance. While the description paints a picture of a useful and convenient tool, the lack of positive reviews or any reviews at all raises serious concerns about whether the app lives up to its promises. Before downloading, potential users should proceed with extreme caution and consider searching for independent reviews or alternative apps with more favorable ratings. It is possible the app is brand new and has not been rated yet, but a zero rating is a major deterrent.
