This industrial borescope is the only device in the PCE-VE 1500 series that is equipped with two cameras. One of them faces the front and the other faces the side. Both are positioned very close together on the camera head. An LED is arranged next to each of the cameras, with which the field of view can be illuminated if required. Settings on the endoscope for the image representation on the display and for the lighting of the camera field of view are effective for both cameras and both light sources at the same time.
The user can choose at any time whether the industrial borescope shows the current image from the front camera, the side camera or both side by side on the large touchscreen display. The simultaneous display of both cameras makes orientation during the visual inspection much easier. In addition, it is advantageous to be able to use both the front and the side camera, especially when space is very limited.
However, pictures and videos cannot be taken simultaneously with both cameras. When recording in the viewing mode in which both cameras can be seen, only the images from the activated camera are saved by the endoscope. If the user has activated image captions, then these only appear on the image of the activated camera. By default, the boroscope offers under the menu item Watermark, for example, overlays such as the date and time or the camera designation as CAM1 or CAM2. When the camera is activated, the selected captions appear in small red font at the edge of the image. If the other camera is to be activated, this is very easy to do with this endoscope via the touchscreen.
