About the Winning Product
Installation, inspection and diagnostic jobs often require access to hard-to-reach
or -see areas. Professionals from a wide range of industries are using Extech's
wireless video inspection borescope cameras to access tight spots with the added
capability to record 2 GB of video or capture JPEG images. The affordable BR200
and the related BR250 are invaluable for simplifying diagnostics and documenting
inspections.

Unlike other video borescopes on the market, the BR200 expands its versatility
with a detachable 3.5" color display. Now, users can position the borescope
as needed to access a difficult location without losing sight of the display.
The monitor can be handheld and kept in direct view or affixed to any metallic
surface using its magnet mount). Alternatively, for inspection sites near hazardous
or moving components, take the wireless monitor and inspect conditions remotely
from over 30ft (10m) away.
