Endoscope-2 and Endoscope-1 End-of-ALL-Support

These end-of-life hardware models with OEM drivers were first released around 2013. Both cameras had a now obsolete  640×480 (VGA) sensor. Technology and the end user market have moved on with 1920x1080P endoscope cameras connected to Smart Phones replacing these old USB devices connected to laptops and tablets.

Many thanks to the 100s of users of the Endoscope Software Update package, esspecially the majority from the UK.

10 November 2023:

Support for the Windows 11/10/8/7 compatible driver package.  Driver incompatibility issues with some (but curiously not all) Intel Core i5 and Core i7 based systems have been identified. These issues have been traced to apparent variations in how OEM hardware microcode interacts with multi-core CPUs. The driver and video application package will remain available until 15  December 2023, and work as created for many PCs, laptops and Microsoft Surface tablets.

Endoscope #2: Useful for the professional automotive technician and performance enthusiast who works on his own vehicles. The Endoscope-2 has a 11.2mm camera head that fits down the 1/2″ (12.7mm) spark plug hole.
