Bosch GIC 12V-5-27 C PROFESSIONAL industrial inspection camera 8.3 mm Flexible-Obedient probe IP67, IP54

The Bosch GIC 12V-5-27 C 8.3mm Flexible Probe IP67 is an industrial inspection camera designed for visual inspection in confined and hard-to-reach spaces. It features an 8.3 mm flexible probe and a 5.0-inch (12.7 cm) colour display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. The system provides a 75° field of view and supports removable MicroSD storage up to 32 GB. Rated IP67 for the probe and IP54 for the handheld unit, the camera is built to withstand dust and water exposure appropriate for many workshop and site conditions. The unit is powered by standard 1.5 V AA batteries, enabling portable operation without special charging equipment.

Advantages

The inspection camera delivers sharp 1280 x 720 resolution on a 5-inch display, allowing clear identification of defects and components in tight spaces. An 8.3 mm diameter flexible probe provides access through narrow openings while maintaining sufficient rigidity for guided positioning. IP67 protection for the probe ensures resistance to dust and temporary immersion, while the IP54-rated handheld unit resists splashes and dust during typical on-site use. MicroSD card compatibility up to 32 GB enables image and video capture for documentation and reporting. Use of common 1.5 V AA batteries simplifies field operation and replacement.

How to use

Install fresh 1.5 V AA batteries in the handheld unit and insert a compatible MicroSD card if image or video recording is required. Power on the device and check the display for correct image rendering. Feed the 8.3 mm flexible probe into the inspection area while observing the 5-inch screen; adjust probe routing by gently guiding the flexible shaft. Use the device controls to focus, adjust illumination and start/stop recording or capture still images. After inspection, power off the unit, remove the MicroSD card for data transfer if needed, and store the probe straight or coiled according to the manufacturer’s handling guidance to preserve flexibility and image performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid forcing the probe through sharp bends and clean the probe after exposure to contaminants or moisture. Use appropriate protective sleeves or adapters when inspecting aggressive chemicals or extremely abrasive environments. Replace batteries before long inspections to maintain stable illumination and image quality. Store the unit in a dry place and follow local disposal rules for used batteries and electronic components.
