How to conduct an inspection using a mobile app
The process of conducting an inspection in the INSPECTOR app consists of several sequential but simple steps — from creating a document to forming the final photo report. Below is shown how an object inspection is carried out in practice.Register or log in to the account created on Photo-reports.online
The INSPECTOR mobile app uses the same user account as the Photo-reports.online website.
There are several authentication methods:
1. Through the form in the mobile app itself;
2. Through third-party services, for example, using a Google account;
3. If you already have an account in the Photo-reports.online service, simply enter the email and password of the account;
4. You can authenticate by scanning the QR code of an API token that is created in the Api tokens section. This method is suitable if you want to give different users access to your account but do not want to entrust them with your passwords.
Configure the inspection app on the Profile screen
On the Profile screen you can configure:
1. Username and Email address, change password.
2. Choose the mode of saving photos in the photo report - instant or delayed.
3. Change the interface language of the mobile app.
4. Choose the minimum resolution of the control photo saved to the device gallery.
5. Choose the display type for coordinates.
6. Specify whether GPS coordinates are displayed by default on all photos.
7. Specify whether the address is displayed by default on all photos.
8. Specify whether the time is displayed by default on all photos.
9. Specify whether the control photo is saved to the device gallery by default on all photos.
10. Enable dark theme in the mobile app.
11. Report an error in the operation of the mobile app or website and attach a screenshot of the error.
12. Delete local data from all documents if they have not yet been synchronized with the server (irreversible action).
13. Log out of the account.
14. Delete user account (irreversible action).
Create or open a document
1. If the document has already been created - enter it.
2. If the document does not exist yet - create it. To create a document, it is enough to press the Create button on the document creation tab.
It is also recommended to specify a document number to distinguish it from other documents with photos.
Add photos to the photo report using one of two possible methods
1. Photography with a camera.
In this scenario, adding time, GPS coordinates, and address to the photo is available.
Shooting data is saved on the server in instant save mode and can be checked on the Photo-reports.online website.
2. Adding photos from the gallery. In this scenario, photos are simply added to the photo report as a single array.
Send the photo report by email or download from the website
To obtain a photo report of an inspection or photos, there are several options:
1. Sending by email from the mobile app. The photo report will be sent by email with .docx extension;
2. Downloading the photo report from the account on the website.
Users who registered using the INSPECTOR mobile app have access to 3 free email sends or downloads.
Further use of the mobile app is paid according to the tariffs indicated on the main page of the Photo-reports.online service.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Mobile Inspection App
This section collects answers to frequently asked questions about the capabilities of the INSPECTOR mobile app, terms of use, and specifics of conducting inspections.How to add location and GPS coordinates to photos?
GPS coordinates and locations in the INSPECTOR mobile inspection app can be added in two ways.
1. Set a flag in the user profile settings to add GPS coordinates and address by default to each photo.
2. Each time the camera is initialized, specify the need to add GPS coordinates (2.1) and address (2.2).
How to add dates to photos?
Date and time can be easily added in the INSPECTOR mobile app. There are two ways:
1. Set a flag in the user profile to add date and time to each photo by default.
2. Mark the addition of date and time during camera initialization only when it's really necessary.
How to Verify the Authenticity of Photo Evidence?
In digital systems, verifying the authenticity of photo evidence is a complex but solvable task. In the INSPECTOR app, this is implemented through analysis of the shooting context.
What data confirms authenticity
The system records a complex set of parameters that create a "digital fingerprint" of the shot:
1. Timestamps.
- exact time of photo creation on the device;
- system timestamps of data recording and updating.
This data allows for the detection of discrepancies between the claimed and actual shooting time.
2. Geolocation data.
- coordinates of the shooting location;
- accuracy of location determination.
The match of coordinates with the claimed location and adequate GPS accuracy serve as significant confirmation of authenticity.
3. Hardware and software identifiers.
- unique device ID;
- gadget model;
- operating system;
- application version.
This data creates a "digital profile" of the device from which the photo was taken.
4. Links to external data.
- reference to the record of the photo itself;
- binding to address data (if coordinates are converted to an address);
- timezone information for correct time interpretation.
Advantages of the approach:
- transparency — the user can independently check the context;
- comprehensiveness — it is extremely difficult to falsify all parameters simultaneously;
- economic impracticality of forgery — the cost of forgery exceeds the possible benefit.
