For the first time, Bosch is launching an inspection camera for DIY enthusiasts: With the UniversalInspect, you can easily inspect dark and hard-to-reach areas all around your home or car yourself, and then document the results as an image. The camera is equipped with a camera head that is just eight millimeters in size, meaning that it can access even very small openings. The possible applications are almost unlimited: Using the UniversalInspect, DIY enthusiasts can, for example, detect blockages in drains, pipes, gutters and downpipes or inspect the inside of household appliances, such as washing machines or dryers, for defects. Above all, the UniversalInspect offers valuable assistance when renovating old building stock. It enables you to look into cavities, such as raised or intermediate floors, drywalls or suspended ceilings – for example, in order to locate cable and pipe routes before carrying out renovation work. The inspection camera is also a useful aid in everyday life: A look behind the cupboard or under the sofa will show you whether the item you have lost is hiding there. Even when inspecting a car, the UniversalInspect takes a good picture: Rust spots or faulty hoses are easy to find.
