USB Endoscope viewing software
I've just had a cheap USB endoscope/snake camera delivered. WinXP's
control panel has 'Scanners and Cameras', which allows me to see a tiny view of what the camera sees, but there has to be a better way. Your suggestions please, for some free viewing software? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

I nearly threw away a raid card driver for that reason only a few days ago. The software (which is best described as 'functional') is called rscap 2.10 , and as I try it just now, Google return a few downloads for this. |

Its just a bare camera, with a coiled up lead, no software, no instructions, but some sort of 90 mirror attachment and a lens cleaning cloth. Thanks, I'll take a look at rscap. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

If it shows up in control panel, then using VLC should be able to capture and/or record from it too ... .e.g. http://www.inteligentcomp.com/2013/0...using-vlc.html |

Sounds like you got the deluxe version. Mine had nothing but the disk, but it was enough to show me my piston crowns. |

The mirror is intended to allow it to look sideways, but it makes it very blurred. Its as if it is steamed up. Might have a go at cleaning it later. None of the suggestions would produce an image at all, which seems odd, what I did find which worked was a package called VimicroCam. Rather heavyweight package at 5.3Mb, but at least you can fill the screen with the image. All I wanted to do, was inspect the hidden valley gutter between my garage and workshop for obstructions. It over flowed when the snow melted from the roofs recently. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

Many of them seem to be "webcams", mine will run on Ubuntu (but I usually use the supplied software on windows machines). I've never had much joy with mirror attachments. |

Much easier than wrestling the ladder out of the garage. |

Harry Bloomfield expressed precisely :
I've just had a cheap USB endoscope/snake camera delivered. WinXP's control panel has 'Scanners and Cameras', which allows me to see a tiny view of what the camera sees, but there has to be a better way. Your suggestions please, for some free viewing software? The camera worked, for a total of 30minutes only. It seems what I had failed to notice was that the camera cable, where it entered the USB plug, had not been fixed at all. Internally it was just hanging on its connections. The first time it came under any strain, it failed. This one.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5M-6-LED-U...:X:RTQ:GB:1123 Up to that point it worked just as you would expect. If you have bought one or were thinking to buy one, worth checking and maybe trying to fix it before it rips the connections off. Beyond that, I have not explored, because I have raised an issue with the seller, via ebay. The seller is pleading poverty and offering a 50% refund, to which I have made a counter offer of a full refund or replacement be sent, along with an offer to return the faulty item if he pays the postage. I will delve deeper, once I know which way my claim against the seller goes. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
