Review: TESLONG NTS500 Dual Lens Borescope Inspection Camera

Video review on this industrial borescope inspection camera made by TESLONG, model NTS500. Both the links to the camera on Amazon and their website will be included in the video description. As you can see it comes neatly packed in a plastic hard case. The case features both pivots on the rear and the front latches so you don’t have to worry about the tabs breaking off like on some cases with just a flexible plastic joint. #teslong #camera #review

The screen is compact, they have maximized the size of the screen so any details can be viewed easily. No apps or usage of external devices are required, this is a complete stand-alone system. There is a spot to connect a tether, an LED light on the backside for working in dark areas, the power button is along with the button, the camera is controlled using the buttons on the right side, screw-on camera connection at the top, and a speaker on the rear. It has a 5” LCD screen with a 1280x720 HD resolution, and it has an IP67 rating. IP67 means no ingress of dust, and it’s protected for water submersion for up to 1 meter or about 3 feet.
It also comes with a 32gig micro sd card which is accessible on the bottom by pulling back a rubber door. The charging port is also located here, this camera is equipped with a 3500mAh lithium-ion battery. Also included is a USB charging cable. The camera cable is available in two lengths, one is 1 meter or about 3 feet and the other is 3 meters or about 10 feet.
The camera has a diameter of 5.5mm or 0.21 inches. Unlike many other borescopes, this one is equipped with two cameras. One on the front and another on the side for a perpendicular view which is great for a variety of tight places. These cameras can be toggled by the button on the connector which I’ll show in a moment. Both cameras can be submerged in water and can be illuminated with the built-in LEDs allowing for detailed views in dark spaces. The LEDs are controlled by a button and also have 3 brightness settings.
The camera cable screws onto the main body, the connector construction is aluminum so there’s no need to worry about having parts crack or break as what you may find with plastic. With a screw-on connection, if you’re working in awkward spaces, you also don’t have to worry about the camera becoming disconnected.
This camera can be used in a variety of fields consisting of those who do projects around the house to mechanics, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, dealers, building inspectors, auto bodies, etc. For me, it’ll help me inspect vehicles for purchasing, sourcing out issues, and providing better detailed videos for you, my subscribers.
This is unedited sample footage I took with this camera, viewing either component tags, inside the frame inspecting for rust, behind the fenders to determine if they’ve been patched, behind the rockers to also determine if they’ve been repaired, leaks around seals, etc. Being in Canada, I know frame rot can be a serious issue and this camera alone can prevent making a bad purchase. Frames can easily look good on the outside, whether they’ve been repaired or if they’re original. However, having a view on the inside can show what’s behind all that. You will need to ensure the camera is clean which would be an aspect with any bore scope. The camera cable remains stiff so it maintains it’s shape, while still being able to push through tighter areas. The camera does have a high quality and feels like it’s built to last. It can easily view any fine detail and the image is still clear is the darkest of spaces. There’s no need to worry about disconnection over a wireless connection and I prefer this style than compared to the one that’s paired with my phone.
I have been using this camera on a few different projects which you’ll see in the feature and it’s certainly a great addition to anyone’s tool collection.

Originally, I bought the Teslong NTS500 with the 5.5mm (0.21") scope and 10-foot cord. Later, I decided that I also wanted the mirror, magnet, and hook attachments, so I had to order the 8mm (0.31") scope because the attachments must screw onto the cord and the 5.5mm cord was too small to have screw-on attachments. I decided to also buy the 3.9mm (0.15") scope for inspecting firearm barrels. I'm very happy that I have all 3 sizes of scope cables and feel ready to tackle any project.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, happy to hear you’re enjoying them. I never thought I needed one until I got one. Super handy to have.

[@mrcutestuff]

You always do the best reviews!!!

[@4DIYers]

I appreciate that!

[@albertoferroni921]

I have one and used it a few time, I noticed that the forward camera has poo resolution in comparison to the side camera. Any suggestion or can I buy an other wand . does the protective tip have a lens in it

[@wildman7754]

how has this held up? i saw a review saying the camera stopped working. is there any warranty information you got when you bought it?

[@4DIYers]

I haven't had any issues, been using it for a few different videos. The warranty is 18 months according to their website.

[@mickeywatkins5453]

How do I switch from straight on view to side view?

[@4DIYers]

The small button on the camera cable right at the connection.

[@salehbaker9221]

what is best length for camera cable 5meter or 3 meter . for car and general inspection ?

[@4DIYers]

3m should be fine. Realistically you'll need go that far into an area, there should be access spots close enough. The longer lengths would be used in home construction or industrial applications.

[@gregoryjohnespedido8]

I didn't use it for a week and the battery was drained. Now it wouldnt turn on even when I charged it overnight. Anyone had the same experience?

[@carlostorres9068]

did you solve the issue?

[@angelisone]

Having only dated 720P. I will pass on this.
