OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing SCA WIFI Inspection Camera. Please read this manual carefully
and thoroughly before using the instrument.
WIFI Inspection Camera is a unique instrument that wirelessly streams high-quality video
from a camera at the tip of a 95cm long probe to the screen of a nearby iPhone®, iPad® or
Android™ Smartphone or tablet computer. Typical applications include inspection of hard-
to-reach or hard-to-see areas like crowded engine compartments, equipment enclosures and
HVAC ductwork.
To receive the video, an iPhone or iPad must install and run a free app called Videoscope 3,
downloadable from the iTunes® App Store. Similarly, an Android device must install and run
the Android version of the same free app (called Videoscope) after downloading it from the
Google Play Store.
Soft buttons on each app allow the user to record inspection video clips, take snapshots of
the video stream, and store and view the media files on the iPhone, iPad or Android device.
Saved files can be viewed immediately. All transfers between WIFI Inspection Camera and
the iPhone/iPad or Android device are wireless, via a local WiFi hot spot without Internet
access generated by the instrument.

dated subfolder, you can preview the pictures and video clips you
have captured. Touching the Preview soft button resumes display of
live probe video.

OPERATING & MAINTENANCE TIPS
When the LED (Fig. 1, Callout 6) that normally glows solid red when WIFI Inspection Camera
is powered on begins flashing, the four “AA” batteries is low. You should replace all four
batteries immediately, following the instructions in this manual.
The red Power on LED may stop flashing and resume glowing solid red even though
the batteries’ voltage is actually low. A better indication of actual battery voltage is the
responsiveness of the white camera lighting LEDs at the end of the probe to a command to
change their intensity. If the LEDs increase and decrease brightness following presses of the
and buttons on the grip, the batteries are sufficiently to power WIFI Inspection Camera.
If pressing the and buttons does not change the LEDs’ brightness, the batteries are
low and must be replaced.
Never insert the probe into a fuel tank or a flammable liquid or gas such as unleaded
gasoline, diesel fuel, machine oil, DOT 4 brake fluid or transmission fluid.
The probe contains thin wires running along its entire length. Accordingly, never insert or
bend it by force, and never over-bend any part of the probe. Specifically (see figure below):
• Do not bend the probe more than 90° anywhere along its length.
• Do not bundle the probe into a tight circle to store it.
• Never use the camera head end to modify surroundings or clear pathways or clogged
areas.
• Do not over tighten the collar that secures the probe to the grip.
To clean the camera lens and LEDs, use a cotton swab and a small amount of mild
detergent.
