You can hire mechanics or home inspectors to perform inspections using inspection cameras, but generally you wouldn’t specify the tools they use to perform their work.

Most consumer digital inspection cameras are inexpensive enough that you can just buy them to perform the inspection yourself.

Home inspectors use whatever industrial endoscope camera they trust to get the job done. Ultimately, they need to get a good visual on their subject such that they can confidently make an accurate assessment of whatever they are looking at.

Borescope inspection cameras are handy tools that save time and money - anyone who regularly performs do-it-yourself work around the house or automobiles should have one in their toolbox.
