Look inside an engine bay, under a dash or down a drain without pulling a single panel. The flexible 7mm waterproof head streams a 640x480 live view to your Android phone through a Type-C plug. Pick the 1m cable for tight engine spots or the 2m for longer runs.
Flexible waterproof inspection camera that views on your Android phone via Type-C
- Inspecting hard-to-reach spots in cars and engines
- Seeing inside pipes and tight cavities without disassembly
Inspect the hidden corners of your car without taking it apart
Stop guessing behind the engine and under the dash. A flexible 7mm waterproof camera streams live to your Android phone, so you see the fault and fix only what is broken.
A slim head that goes where your hand cannot
- A 7mm head that bends where you cannot reach
The soft flexible wire carries a 7mm camera head around engine parts and under dash panels. Because the cable bends instead of holding a rigid shape, you can route it along the path a hand or flashlight would never take. The matte black cable stays pliable, so it does not fight you in tight gaps.
- Live view on your Android phone
The Type-C plug goes straight into an Android phone, and the 640x480 live view appears on your screen. There is no separate monitor to charge or carry. You get a clear close-up of gears and wiring on the phone already in your pocket.
- Pick your length: 1m or 2m
The 1m cable covers most engine bays and under-dash runs. The 2m cable reaches longer drain lines and wiring routes. Choose the reach your job needs and skip buying a second tool.

Stop tearing panels off to find one fault
The noise you cannot place
A rattle starts behind the dash, or a coolant smell creeps out from somewhere in the engine bay. You know the fault is close, but every route to it means pulling trim, unbolting covers and hoping you guessed right. Hours go by and the noise is still there.
Seeing it on your phone
The 7mm head slides in where your hand and flashlight cannot follow. Plug the Type-C end into your Android phone and the 640x480 image appears on the screen you already carry. The built-in light shows gears, wires and wet spots in sharp detail, so you know exactly where to look.
A weekend back on track
Once the fault is on screen, you fix only that part and close everything back up. The job ends in one session instead of three. Keep the 1m for engine bays and the 2m for longer drains and wiring runs.
What to expect as you use it
- First useLive view working on your phone
Connect the Type-C plug, allow the app to open, and confirm the 640x480 image appears. Test the light before you go into a dark engine bay.
- 3 usesCable handling feels natural
The soft wire routes around obstacles more easily as you learn how far the head bends. Most of the early fumbling goes away.
- 30 daysInspections done without disassembly
You check wiring, leaks or drain runs before pulling panels. Results depend on how often you inspect and how clean the lens stays.

Questions and answers
No. The Type-C connector is built for Android phones, and the live image runs on Android. If your phone is an iPhone, this camera will not show a picture on it. Check your phone's port and software before you order.
Yes, for the jobs it is built for. The image is sharp enough to see gear teeth, wire insulation, cracks, wet spots and blockage in a drain. It will not read small printed labels from across the room. Clean the lens before each look, and the image stays crisp.
The 1m cable covers most engine bays from the fender or airbox side. For a deeper route, such as a drain run or a long wiring loom, pick the 2m. Because the wire is soft and adjustable, you can feed the head through a gap and let the cable follow the path.
The camera head is waterproof, so it handles wet engine bays, coolant spills and drain water. Wipe it dry after use and keep the Type-C plug clear of moisture.
Cheap cams often lack a usable connector or a sealed head. This one plugs straight into an Android phone, so you do not buy a separate screen. A dedicated scope with its own display costs far more for the same job. If you already own an Android phone, the camera pays for itself the first time it saves you a pulled panel or a tow.
