Evidence for Delay Claims
Delay claims often come down to "when did what happen?" Timestamped photos provide objective evidence that cuts through conflicting accounts.
How Photos Support Delay Claims
Timestamp Proof
Every photo is dated. Show exactly when work started, progressed, and completed.
Weather Documentation
Photos show actual conditions. Rain delays become verifiable, not claims.
Sequence Evidence
The photo timeline shows whether work proceeded as scheduled or stalled.
Scope Clarity
Photos show what was actually being worked on vs. what was claimed.
Common Use Cases
Prevention Is Better
The best use of camera documentation isn't winning delay claims—it's preventing disputes in the first place. When everyone knows photos exist, claims are less likely to be made frivolously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can photos really prove a delay?
Photos prove what was visible on specific dates. A photo showing empty site on May 15 when work should have been underway is powerful evidence. Combined with schedules and other records, photos become compelling proof.
What if the delay happened before cameras were installed?
Cameras only document what they capture. This is why installing cameras early—ideally at project start—is important. The earlier you start documenting, the more complete your record.
Are photo timestamps reliable for legal purposes?
Our system uses secure, server-verified timestamps. Photos can't be backdated. Combined with audit logs and cloud storage, the timestamps are defensible in legal proceedings.
Should I save specific photos for potential claims?
All photos are saved automatically. You don't need to manually preserve anything. If a claim arises, we can export relevant date ranges with full metadata for your legal team.
