Scam!!
When it was originally released it stored videos and photos to a Depstech album. Now they want read/write access to all your photos to use the camera. Avoid the app, do not buy the hardware!!

It doesn’t work
Garbage
“When it works” at best 4 out of 10. Too bad 90% of time it just doesn’t work. No star rating.
Update 1.7.3 killed their older borescopes!
I’ve owned and loved my borescope made by this company for over 3 years. It never had a single problem until they updated from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3. Once 1.7.3 came out, the borescope didn’t work anymore. I’ve tried everything, including downloading the app on other devices made by different brands, to no avail, but the moment I pulled out my +3-year-old iPhone with the previous app version still on it. Suddenly the borescope works without any hitches. They made an update for their app to kill their previous model borescopes to force owners to buy a new one! Shame shame!!

Doesn’t work at all
Total waste of time. Simply doesn’t connect or load to the camera. Junk
Unit Sucks
Impossible to connect to iPhone 16pro
Started requiring full access to photos
Just like the title says, the app started requiring full access to my Photos in order for me to save pictures and videos from this endoscope. If I had just bought this, I’d be returning it and getting a standalone version.
App is Non-Functional
I am trying to connect my WF028 scope. My phone is connected to the scopes WiFi but the app shows no images. There are no indications on what is happening and after going through the vendor’s reset procedure a dozen times I’m giving up. I’ve used this scope and app twice and at the end of my efforts have a single picture and a single five second video of a static image.

Complete Chinese spyware garbage.
I got totally ripped off with this camera. They were so preoccupied on programming spyware that they never made the camera actually work correctly.
Not Compatible with IOS 18+
Have had the WIFI Inspection Camera for years and used it with no issues on IOS 14 to 17. Even after 8 years the battery still holds a full days charge. But I was unable to connect to the camera using the old software today using IOS 18 when it was really needed. I installed this app in the hope it was an upgrade. The app has an issue connecting to the device regardless of the settings.if it does connect then it continually freezes, requiring a restart. Basically the device is now useless without working software. Unfortunate. The camera was my go-to device for multiple DIY projects on my vehicles and in the house. Was hoping this would be the last endoscope I would ever need to purchase.

it used to be good
I tried using it today after a year or two since last use. The old software now only shows up with Chinese text. I downloaded a different version and it seemed to work, but it requires that you give full access to the photo album. I have no plans of saving any photos, but it will not allow me to get past that step to use the device.
if you need something like this, then find a different option!

3 years later, still awesome
Bought a camera to use in tight spaces on my car, 3 years ago, I’ve used it countless times, never had an issue. Connection is super fast, turn on the device, go to WiFi on your phone and find DEPSTECH and click connect. It may connect then show WiFi not connected or no WiFi, that’s normal, after clicking the correct WiFi, return to the app and it should be automatically displaying an image. Was going to have my friend download this app to use it also and discovered all the negative reviews, sounds more or less like you guys bought a different inspection camera than me, mine came with a super long cord, probably 25 feet, option to turn up and down brightness of the light, attachment tips such as a hook for the end to grab hard to reach items. Never have had a problem with the inspection camera nor any problems with the application, I’ve use it on android phones and currently using it on iPhone 15 pro max, 5/5 3 years so far and it’s still working amazing for me.

No longer works
Developers no longer update the app and like everyone else is reporting: it no longer works. Very bad, because the unit was not cheap and the physical unit powers up, etc, it just can’t connect. Now a very great piece of equipment will go in the trash because of greedy/lazy developers.
I made sure IOS and app are up to date.

Won’t load video stream
App will not connect to endoscope on iPhone 16 Pro, loading circle just rotates for ever.
Stopped working
It was ok until the latest iso update now it won’t connect at all
Connection Problem
I’ve had this device several years - it has often been unable to connect to the server, and today it just won’t at all. The device was not cheap and I expected it to work consistently. Very disappointed. If I could return it I definitely would do so.
Poor and in big need of update
For iOS this app is 2+ years old and really does need updating. As a result it doesn’t recognise “Limited Access” in Photos settings and demands full access to Photos if you want to take photos of the images. I had to enable full access then remove it after taking the pictures. It’s very laggy too when used with my WF020X endoscope, making it tiresome to use.
