Marca: VIVIDIA | Model: VV-Flex-Cam-11

1. Introducció

The Vividia USB Flexible Inspection Camera is designed for detailed visual inspection in areas that are difficult to access. This device connects to your PC via a USB interface and is powered directly by the USB connection, eliminating the need for external batteries. Its 95cm (3.1ft) flexible cable allows for maneuverability into various shapes to reach confined spaces.

Equipped with a 1/6" VGA CMOS sensor, 5x zoom function, and two built-in adjustable LED lights, the camera captures snapshots and videos with clear color. The camera head and cable are waterproof, making it suitable for wet environments. The small 11.2mm camera head is ideal for close-up inspections in tight areas, such as automotive maintenance, electrical repair, plumbing, and HVAC/R applications.
