A camera on an inspection does two jobs: it records what the inspector found, and it records how the visit was handled. We supply the cameras, the mounts, the docking and the software that holds the footage.
What each kind of visit needs the camera to do.
Kitchens, markets, cold stores and processing floors. The camera holds the temperature reading, the storage condition and the label as they were at the time of the visit.
Test lanes in some countries already record under fixed cameras. A body camera covers what those miss: the walk-around, the underside check and the exchange with the driver.
From arriving on site to the findings discussed at the door, the whole visit goes on record: exits, panels, wiring and access routes, captured in the order they were checked.
Complaints about waste, noise, pests and pollution get argued over long after the officer has left, and footage of the site as it was found shows the condition a written description can only assert.
A meter read, a disconnection or a fault repair puts a lone worker on someone else’s property. Both the condition on arrival and the state it was left in are on the recording.
Licensed premises, permits and penalty notices. Where a visit turns confrontational, the officer’s conduct and the other party’s sit on the same recording.
What changes once the visit is on record.
When a result is challenged weeks later, the footage shows the condition the site was in on the day of the visit.
Footage moves from camera to server through the dock. No memory card, so there is no card to hand round or lose.
Search by inspector, date or address. No working out which camera went out on which round.
Cameras are signed out to a named inspector, so a recording traces back to the visit it belongs to.
On models that stream, a supervisor can see what the inspector is dealing with while it is happening.
Overnight the dock charges and uploads, so the next round starts with a working camera.
What the round looks like decides which one fits.
AFor rounds that start and finish at the same depot or office, where nobody needs to watch live.
BFor lone visits and remote sites, where a supervisor may need to see a situation while it is running.
CFor readings, labels, serial numbers and plates that have to stay legible when the clip is enlarged.
A camera records the visit. It does not take the reading and it does not replace the report. Footage sits on your own video infrastructure, and we will size it against your round.
The rest of the system the footage depends on.
Sized by how many cameras come off a round at once, not by headcount. Inspectors take a camera from the rack in the morning and return it to the same rack.
How docking works
The server the footage lands on, in your own rack or a data centre you choose. Sized to your headcount and how long you keep recordings.
Video infrastructure
All footage in one place, whichever camera recorded it. You set who can open, share or export a clip, and how long it is kept before the server deletes it.
Evidence managementVehicle cameras feed the same server and the same software. See vehicle cameras.
From first enquiry to a fleet in service, and who does what.
The round, the environment, the team size and who has to accept the footage. A tender document works, and so does a rough description.
In writing, against your requirement, with the reasoning. Where two options both meet the requirement, you get both, with the cost difference.
Hardware in your hands on your own site, in the conditions it has to survive. The actual mounting point tells you more than a datasheet.
Configuration, docking and storage set up, inspector training on the handling rules, then maintenance and spares for the life of the fleet.
The ones we get asked most.
It depends on whether anyone needs to watch live. Offline or Wi-Fi cameras where footage is reviewed back at the office, 4G where a lone inspector may need support during a visit.
Between 9 and 12 hours on one charge, and 13 hours on the helmet unit, which carries a second battery. Storage differs by model, so we confirm capacity against your round length and retention rule.
Four things drive it: inspectors out at once, whether the cameras carry SIMs, recording resolution, and how long you keep the footage. Send us your round and retention rule and we will quote.
In most places that publish a rule, yes. Where no rule is published, we still recommend telling people. The camera is worn in clear sight, people are told, and recording is limited in private settings.
Only as far as the power of entry goes, and privacy law still applies once you are inside. Expect the occupier to record as well and to ask for a copy of your footage.
No. It records what was seen and how the visit was handled. The reading, the measurement and the report itself are still the inspector's work.
