Wi-Fi Otoscopes

How do I use a wireless otoscope?

WiFi otoscopes are used for examining the ear canal and tympanic membrane of the ear, but they also work well to look inside the nose and throat or even get a close-up look at skin. A wireless otoscope is a digital camera device that serves this function, and lets you view the camera feed wirelessly on your mobile device connecting over a Bluetooth or WiFi network with a specialized application. The mobile device provides the screen to view what the camera sees and also the memory to save any photos or video that the camera records.

What is a wifi otoscope vs regular otoscope camera?

Traditional ear scopes, or otoscopes, that many doctors use today are essentially a magnifying lens and an illuminating light for the doctor to look inside a patient's ear without any camera or recording function. WiFi otoscopes typically have a digital camera that connects via an app on a mobile device and allows the operator to record and save photos and video from the device. Regular otoscope cameras are “wired” meaning that the camera probe is connected to a screen with a wire and does not need to use a mobile device, app or WiFi network.
