Common Uses
Better Prepared, Better Inspections
Knowing site status before you arrive helps you plan your inspection more effectively. You can focus on areas that need attention rather than spending time getting oriented.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does camera access reduce the need for physical inspections?
Cameras supplement but don't replace physical inspections. You still need to verify quality, check details, and assess things cameras can't see. But cameras help you prepare better and monitor between visits.
Who typically grants inspector camera access?
Usually the property owner, developer, or lender who hired the inspection service. Access is granted as view-only—inspectors can see photos but not modify settings.
Can I use camera photos in my inspection reports?
Yes. Most clients appreciate camera photos in reports. Check with your client about their preferences. Photos provide dated visual documentation that complements your professional observations.
What about inspector liability and camera documentation?
Camera photos are one data source among many. They don't change your inspection methodology or liability. Use them as additional information, not as a replacement for your professional judgment.
