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 8.3 mm Flexible Probe industrial inspection camera is engineered for visual access in confined, hard-to-reach spaces. The unit pairs a compact handheld display with an 8.3 mm flexible probe that navigates around obstacles and provides a 75° field of view for detailed inspection. The camera system is rated IP67 for the probe and IP54 for the main unit, enabling use in wet or dusty environments. A 1280 x 720 pixel display delivers clear live images, and the device supports MicroSD storage with a supplied 32 GB card for saving photos and video during inspections.

Advantages

The 8.3 mm probe diameter balances access and image quality for viewing narrow cavities, while the 75° field of view captures a practical scene without excessive distortion. Compact ergonomics and a clear 1280 x 720 display improve handling and on-site assessment. Built-in MicroSD compatibility and the included 32 GB card simplify documentation and archive workflows.

How to use

Capture still images or record video to the MicroSD card for later review, ensuring the probe and display remain within their rated environmental conditions during use.

Recommendations

Clean and dry the probe after each use and inspect for damage before inserting into sensitive equipment. Do not exceed the probe’s bending radius or apply sharp impacts. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow site safety procedures when performing inspections in hazardous areas.
