I got one of these too, they work fairly well. Problem is that it cannot focus close up (like within 2 inches). So if you are trying to see in a constricted space it will be fuzzy.

Also it is not stiff, so you end up pushing on a rope trying to get it into a tight space.

Also camera-fi only works with the later Android versions. I had an old Android tablet with ice cream sandwich and it was too old to support the USB camera port function.

Luckily it came with a full size USB adapter so I used my son's old (ca 2011 HP cheap piece of junk) laptop and it worked great with the Windows 10 built in camera app.
