Feed the cable in behind the washing machine, under the bath panel or through a gap in the floorboards and see if anything's dripping. If you know what you're looking at before you ring a plumber, the call is quicker, and sometimes it turns out you don't need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a used-car viewing, it lets you check the wheel arches, sills and the underside of the engine bay without lying on a wet pavement. Look for rust, oil and filler that's been painted over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the loft, the eaves or the gap behind a fitted unit, it's handy for following a cable, checking a hidden corner or finding where something rolled. Landlords and tenants can use it at check-in or check-out without taking the kitchen apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to get a clear picture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth before you start. One smear and everything looks foggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGo slowly. Push the cable in a few centimetres at a time and let the picture settle before you move again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you find something, take a screenshot or a photo of the screen. Then you can show the plumber, the mechanic or your letting agent exactly what you saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shows you what's there, but it won't diagnose anything. A rusty sill or a wet joist still needs someone who knows what they're looking at, and it doesn't replace a proper pre-purchase inspection on a car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever put it into live electrics, sockets or a gas appliance. If you're looking near wiring, switch off at the consumer unit first. Before you drill an access hole in a wall, check for hidden pipes and cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore you look round a car engine, turn it off and let it cool, and keep the cable clear of the fan and belts. It's made for quick close-up checks around the house and car. It isn't the kind of survey camera a drainage firm uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x inspection camera\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery and returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree tracked UK delivery, usually 7-12 working days.

What it does do is help you describe the problem clearly when you ring someone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it when I'm viewing a used car?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, as long as the seller agrees. Make sure the engine is off and cool, then check the sills, wheel arches and under the engine bay. It's a good first look, but it doesn't replace a mechanic's inspection or a history check.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe to use near wiring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't put it into live electrics or sockets. Switch off at the consumer unit before you look anywhere near wiring, and never put it inside a boiler or any gas appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it under floorboards or in the loft?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, through a gap or a lifted board. If you need to drill an access hole, check for pipes and cables first with a detector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does delivery take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUK delivery is free and tracked. It usually takes 7 to 12 working days, so leave enough time if it's a Christmas present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nook \u0026 Yard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61077658960206,"sku":"inspection-camera-on-a-cable-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1087\/0905\/2750\/files\/studio_hero.png?v=1791233570","url":"https:\/\/nookyard.co.uk\/products\/inspection-camera-on-a-cable","provider":"Nook \u0026 Yard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
