Ferret Manuals & User Guides

フェレットツール is a New Zealand-based innovator in inspection technology, best known for its range of compact, wireless inspection cameras designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. The company revolutionized visual inspections and cable installations with products like the Ferret Lite, Ferret Pro, Ferret Plus, and Ferret Sweeps.

These smart tools feature built-in WiFi hotspots, allowing users to stream high-resolution 720p video directly to their smartphones, eliminating the need for bulky viewing screens. Designed to improve safety and efficiency, Ferret cameras are IP67-rated and equipped with adjustable LED lighting, digital zoom, and non-contact voltage detectors (in select models). They are widely used in electrical cabling, plumbing, HVAC maintenance, and automotive inspections to see inside enclosed walls, ceilings, conduits, and crawl spaces.

• Why can't I connect to my Ferret camera via Bluetooth?

  Ferret cameras do not use Bluetooth. They feature a built-in WiFi hotspot. You must connect your phone or tablet to the 'Ferret-WiFi-XXXX' network in your device's WiFi settings.

• Can I use the Ferret camera underground or inside metal conduits?

  No. Wireless signals (WiFi) are blocked by dense earth, water, and metal. The camera will lose connection if placed inside metallic conduits, underground, or underwater.

• バッテリーはどのくらい持ちますか？

  The Ferret camera typically provides up to 90 minutes of operating time with the LEDs on normal brightness before needing a recharge.

• What should I do if the firmware update gets stuck at 0%?

  Try placing your phone into Airplane (Flight) mode, then turn only the WiFi back on. Connect to the Ferret camera and restart the app to retry the update.

• My phone says the WiFi has no internet connection. Is this normal?

  Yes. Because the Ferret camera creates a local WiFi link solely for video transmission, it does not provide internet access. If your phone asks to switch to mobile data or disconnect, select the option to stay connected to the WiFi network.
