I just plugged mine in and it played. I did not bother trying the CD as my pc is cluttered up with umpteen programmes that I forget how to use 
Will give the cd a go though later after I've finished looking at bits of navel fluff.
Cheers!
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

It's a generic USB webcam packaged in a nice alu tube, windows drivers should be fine so you can use whatever webcam software you'd
normally use, unless you don't usually use a webcam

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You'll never see inside your oil pump with that - not to determine what's causing the oil pressure loss, anyway.

Not sure about the lidl ones but you can with the Ebay ones, just choose a capture file in the software and it records to AVI

Anybody got one of these? It's similar but slightly different to the others in this thread. If so, is it any good?

That's the exact one I have. It's pretty good. Focuses down to about 50mm. I can do a vid if you like?

The resolution appears to be the same as the previous video already posted but can you adjust the lighting easily?

It's a bit non-linear - continuous movement of the brightness setting goes BRIGHT-DIMMER-DIM-DIM but it's not hard if you have half a
brain and some hand-eye coordination. It's only VGA res i think, but that seems to be enough to spot obvious marks in bores.

Independatly of this thread ive just bought on of these for looking into my ceiling void to trace pluming and wiring.
USB ENDOSCOPE BORESCOPE VIDEO INSPECTION CAMERA
Basically the same thing, but it comes on a flexable stick, with a bit of of a handle with a wheel for controling the light brightness and a
'snap shot' button.
Arrived in 2days, seems to work so far.

I hope you have a better experience than I did.
I bought one of those. What a waste. Used it once; the 640x480 resolution is poor (as expected), but I was more disappointed by it not being in focus
close-up.
When I got it out to use again a few weeks later it then didn't work at all - got messages like "unrecognised usb device" and
"corrupted". I tried everything to fix it - reinstalled software, gave it to the IT team at work etc, then felt foolish and finally
binned it.

I appears to have a fixed focal length of around 60-80mm but gives and ok picture down to about 30mm and upto around 2meters which doesnt seem to bad.
Obviously the quality and resolution is as you said 'poor and best' but its given an evenings entertainment looking around the ceiling
void of the kitchen and been mildly useful already so assuming the life is better than you witnessed im happy for £30 notes and 2 day delivery.
