What kinds of inspections are supported?

The template builder handles any inspection shape — required photos, guided prompts, video walkthroughs, forms, signatures, and conditional steps. If a step can be captured, it can be templated.

Buyer, seller, and tenant inspections; move-in and move-out condition reports; renewal walkthroughs; short-term rental turnover.

Typical flow: exterior elevations, roofline, each room, appliances, meter readings, damage close-ups, tenant signature.

First notice of loss, damage documentation, catastrophe response surge capacity, subrogation evidence, and pre-coverage risk photos.

Geofencing and time-window enforcement matter most here — they are what stop backdated and off-site claim photos.

Draw inspections, progress verification against a schedule of values, punchlist walks, warranty claims, and final completion sign-off.

Lenders typically pair a geofenced photo set with a signed PDF report per draw request.

Pre-coverage inspections, VIN and odometer verification with OCR, damage capture, return-condition checks for leases, and equipment finance audits.

In-call OCR reads VIN plates, serial numbers, and meter faces directly from the live stream so nobody transcribes digits by hand.

Virtual Inspection Pro supports property and real estate, insurance claims, construction progress and draws, vehicle and equipment, warranty, rentals, utilities, and fully custom workflows. These types of virtual inspections are best scoped around a specific decision: documenting visible condition, checking reported progress, assessing a service issue, or identifying what needs further investigation. Supporting a category does not mean every inspection within it is suitable for remote completion.

Before scheduling, define the questions the reviewer must answer, the required views or documents, who can safely provide access, and the conditions that trigger escalation. For government agencies, confirm eligibility with the authority responsible for the inspection; the International Code Council provides general remote virtual inspection guidance, not approval for an individual project. A remote property inspection should distinguish observed conditions from inaccessible areas and unverified statements. Refer unresolved safety, structural, or compliance questions to the appropriate qualified reviewer.

For rental and property teams, a practical scope might include room condition, visible fixture damage, appliance identification, and move-in or move-out discrepancies. Establish a consistent route through the property and request both context views and close-ups of each issue. Record areas that could not be inspected rather than treating missing evidence as confirmation that no damage exists.

Warranty and support leaders can use a similar inspection plan to document the reported symptom, model or serial information, installation context, and visible condition. For insurers, separate the policyholder's account from what the reviewer can observe; visible damage alone may not establish cause, coverage, or repair scope. Utility checks should remain within safe, authorized access boundaries. Do not ask an occupant to remove electrical covers, approach damaged conductors, or operate suspect equipment. Escalate hidden leaks, intermittent faults, energized components, and disputed findings to qualified personnel or an in-person visit.

A construction draw inspection should connect each claimed milestone to the lender's required evidence, rather than rely on a general site walkthrough. Before the session, obtain the draw request, relevant scope, prior findings, and a list of work requiring verification. Plan views that establish location and show the claimed work, then record whether each item is observed, incomplete, inaccessible, or awaiting specialist review.

For example, a contractor requests payment for completed kitchen cabinetry and concealed plumbing. A remote review may establish that cabinets are installed, but finished walls cannot demonstrate the condition of concealed pipework. The reviewer should flag the plumbing item and request appropriate supporting records or an on-site inspection under the lender's procedures. Do not equate visible progress with code approval, workmanship acceptance, or authorization to release funds. The lender or designated human reviewer should resolve discrepancies before making the payment decision.

A virtual vehicle inspection can document exterior condition, visible interior damage, dashboard indications, and identifying information. Start with an overall view, then obtain focused views of reported defects and the vehicle identification number. NHTSA's VIN decoder can help interpret manufacturer-reported vehicle information; it does not establish current condition, ownership, or the absence of damage. Equipment inspections can follow a comparable identification-and-condition sequence using the appropriate asset label.

Remote views cannot reliably replace every mechanical test, diagnostic procedure, underbody examination, or hands-on measurement. Use a qualified technician when symptoms suggest braking, steering, electrical, or other safety-related problems. For a fully custom workflow, first define the decision owner, inspection sequence, required evidence, exception categories, and escalation rules. Test the procedure on representative cases before routine use. Keep unresolved findings explicit, and require human review when evidence conflicts, asset identity is uncertain, or the requested conclusion exceeds what the inspection actually shows.
