Quick Answer

Industrial endoscope camera module selection depends on more than image resolution. OEM developers should evaluate mechanical protection, waterproof requirements, illumination, viewing direction, cable design and interface compatibility.

For inspection equipment manufacturers, the right camera module should match the actual working environment rather than simply choosing the highest specification.

Key Factors for Industrial Endoscope Camera Modules

1. Mechanical Protection

Industrial environments may involve:

• pipes

• machines

• engines

• narrow cavities

• maintenance equipment

Steel shell structures can provide stronger mechanical protection for demanding inspection environments.

2. Waterproof Requirement

When inspection involves:

• wet environments

• pipes

• cleaning processes

engineers should evaluate:

• sealing structure

• shell design

• IP protection requirements

3. Viewing Direction

Different inspection paths require different optical structures.

4. Interface Selection

Industrial systems may require:

• USB for computer-based inspection

• Type-C for compact devices

• AV for existing display systems
