OTC Introduces New Automotive Inspection Camera

January 24, 2012

OTC, an SPX Brand, recently released its new Automotive Inspection Camera (P/N 3880X), a portable, handheld video scope that features the latest in remote video technology. It is ergonomically designed for the internal inspection of engines without their costly demolition or disassembly. With an industry leading 5.5-millimeter camera, added wireless display, and ability to record images and video, the OTC 3880X is an ideal tool for any automotive, aviation or industrial technician examining hard-to-reach areas on a vehicle and beyond.

The new automotive camera from OTC is ideal for internal inspection of engine parts; inspecting belts for wear and cracking; looking inside engine cylinders through the spark plug holes; locating bad sensors and electrical connectors under the dash board or behind body panels; examining for corrosion and wear in hard-to-see areas; inspecting fuel line for leaks, and so much more.

"This handy tool gives you the edge on troubleshooting, problem solving, and plain old guesswork," said Andy Forsberg, SPX Service Solutions Product Manager of Electronics. "Featuring the latest in remote video technology, the new OTC 3880X pushes the envelope on value and innovation, and is a must have tool for any serious technician or professional working in vehicle inspection and maintenance."

The 5.5-millimeter camera transmits images and video to the large 3.5-inch high-resolution color screen for optimal viewing of hard-to-reach areas. Its comfortable pistol grip design and forward facing controls make it easy to detect and diagnose the unreachable.

The camera's 3-foot, detachable snake allows you to get the camera lens around corners. The camera head includes four built-in adjustable LEDs for optimal viewing from light to dark areas. Additionally, the camera's adjustable design allows for use with various sizes and lengths; and the magnetic display mounts for hands free viewing. It also features the ability to record digital still images and MPEG video on the removable SD memory card, and can be viewed on the removable camera display or transferred to a computer.

The OTC 3880X is battery powered and offers four hours of operating time on four rechargeable AA batteries (batteries and charger are included in the kit purchase). It comes in a protective case and includes a magnetic mount for wireless display, Micro SD card, XvidCodec installation CD, USB cable, video out cable, battery charger, and AC power adapter.

The 3880X has a one-year warranty and carries the OTC Brand, thus ensuring a long life of repetitive use in the shop.
