Mikey’s Endo Cam

Support

Check your camera.

The tested unit is the VPOW USB-C dual-lens endoscope, model LT-01, firmware 1.0, used with an iPhone 17. Live viewing, photo saving, video recording and playback have been confirmed on that combination.

Other cameras, firmware versions and device combinations remain unverified. A “UseePlus-compatible” label alone does not establish support. Standard USB webcams using UVC and Wi-Fi cameras are not supported.

With the camera connected, open the stethoscope icon → Diagnostics → Connection details to find its reported model and firmware. This unit can appear as “Camera” from manufacturer “Device”.

From cable to picture.

  1. Connect to your unlocked iPhone.

    Plug in the camera directly using its original USB-C connector. Close UseePlus or another app using the camera. If iOS offers to open UseePlus, tap Ignore and open Mikey’s Endo Cam.

  2. Start live viewing.

    Tap Start live view and wait for a picture. Choose Full screen beside the shutter for a larger view; rotate your phone for landscape. Tap Stop when you have finished.

  3. Use the cable controls.

    Press and hold the button on the inline control box to switch the physical camera view. Turn the adjacent wheel to adjust the camera’s light brightness.

The app does not select itself as the iPhone’s default accessory app or start viewing automatically. Opening and closing its guide or Diagnostics does not start a new camera session.

Keep what you find.

  1. Take a photo.

    Wait for a live picture, select Photo and tap the white shutter. Open Library to review the saved image.

  2. Record a silent clip.

    Select Video and tap the red shutter. Tap the square to stop, then wait for saving to finish. Open Library and choose the clip to play it. Recordings contain no microphone audio.

  3. Export a copy you want to keep.

    Choose Share or Save to Photos from a library item. Photos permission is requested only when you choose Save to Photos. Deleting an item here removes the app’s copy, not copies already exported.

Make a separate copy of important captures. The local library is excluded from device and iCloud backups. Deleting the app removes that library. Share or Save to Photos keeps a copy outside the app.

Keep the app open while recording and finishing a clip. Recording ends if live viewing stops, the camera disconnects or you leave the app; the app attempts to finish the clip and reports the result. Clips also stop at 30 minutes or when storage runs low. The tested camera supplies 640 × 480 images.

A little troubleshooting.

The app cannot see my camera.

Unlock your phone, reconnect the camera directly and close other camera apps. Open Diagnostics using the stethoscope icon, then tap Refresh camera list. Check the reported model and firmware against the supported unit above.

“Check connection” says no data received.

This diagnostic listens for data without asking the camera to start video. A silent passive check does not cancel an earlier successful video result. Return to the main camera page and choose Start live view for the supported camera.

Both channels show the same view.

The Channel 0 and Channel 1 options in Diagnostics filter incoming pictures; they are not physical lens controls. Both can show the same picture. Use Auto, then press and hold the button on the cable to change the physical view.

My video has no sound.

That is expected. Mikey’s Endo Cam records silent MP4 video from the endoscope’s pictures and does not use your microphone.

I cannot save a capture to Photos.

Choose Save to Photos from the selected library item and allow add-only Photos access when asked. If you denied access, review the app’s Photos permission in iOS Settings. Your local capture remains in Library, and Share is a separate export option.

Viewing or recording stopped.

Viewing stops when you tap Stop, leave the app, disconnect the camera or the connection fails. It also ends if no valid picture arrives for ten seconds. Recording stops with viewing and does not restart automatically. Check the save result, reconnect if needed and deliberately start a new session.

Still need a hand?

Let’s look into it.

Include the app and iOS versions, the camera model and firmware, and what happened. You can share a reviewed diagnostics report from Connection details.

Normal reports exclude photos, videos and raw camera bytes. The separate startup-data export can contain imagery or device details. Review it before sharing, and only send material you intend us to receive.
