General Tools and Instruments DCS100 - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the The Seeker ™ 100 Wireless USB Video
Inspection System from General Tools & Instruments. We strongly
suggest that you read this user’s manual carefully before using the
product.
The Seeker 100 is a unique member of General’s award-winning
Seeker family of video inspection system. Its wireless USB connection
and Skype
™ -enabled streaming video function (working in concert
with the RCV100 Wireless USB Video Receiver) make it uniquely suited
for a wide variety of inspection applications—such as inspecting
buildings for mold, leaks or pests; inspecting ducts and pipelines for
corrosion or leaks; reading parts and serial numbers of equipment in
industrial and manufacturing settings; and inspecting the engines of
motor vehicles, airplanes and marine craft all at a great value. Like its
siblings, the Seeker 100 offers a cost-effective way for technicians,
mechanics, contractors and repairmen—as well as the home DIY
user—to visually inspect inaccessible or hazardous areas and thus
diagnose hidden system problems without the need for a complete
disassembly or teardown.
TWO MAIN COMPONENTS
One component is a compact, ergonomic grip that mates with a high-
strength, “flexible-obedient”, 1m (3.28 ft.) long, 12mm diameter
camera-tipped probe with adjustable LED lighting. The grip contains a
wireless transmitter that works with the other main component: a small
wireless receiver— the RCV100. It plugs into, and is powered by, the
USB 2.0 or 3.0 port of any recent computer running Windows
® 7,
Windows ® XP or Windows ® Vista (with a Pentium IV microprocessor or
later and at least 1 GB of RAM). Working in concert, the grip and the
receiver allow “live” (real-time) video to be monitored, stored and
processed on a laptop or desktop computer at a wireless distance up
to 10m (33 ft.). The RCV100’s software also supports streaming of live
video over the Internet via the Skype application, and it can store video
on the user’s computer as well.
