Virtual inspections and live guidance for electrical contractors

Remote expert support for panels, circuits, and code documentation

Electrical work is where remote expertise pays off fastest. A master electrician can look at a panel over live video, circle the breaker in question, and keep a field tech moving — safely — without leaving the shop. Every step is captured for the code file.

Electrical work carries the highest cost of guessing wrong. Live video puts a master electrician or engineer on the job without putting them in the truck: they see the panel, read the label, direct the meter placement, and annotate the conductor in question on screen. For inspections and closeouts, verified capture produces a dated record of panel schedules, grounding, and terminations that a general contractor, AHJ, or insurer can rely on later.

The problems we solve

Expertise doesn't scale with headcount

You have a handful of people who can solve the hard problems and a schedule full of jobs that need them.

Panel and circuit documentation is inconsistent

Photos taken on personal phones end up scattered, unlabeled, and useless six months later during an inspection.

Safety risks from guesswork

A tech unsure about a live circuit needs eyes on the problem now, not a description over the phone.

The workflow

  1. Step 1

    Connect

    The field tech joins a live session from their phone in seconds.

  2. Step 2

    See

    Remote zoom and flashlight bring panel labels and wire gauges into focus.

  3. Step 3

    Guide

    Draw arrows and circles directly on the live feed to identify the exact breaker or conductor.

  4. Step 4

    Document

    Capture labeled panel photos into a signed report for the code and customer file.

What you get

  • Live markup with arrows, circles, and freehand draw
  • Remote zoom and flashlight for panel and junction box detail
  • Panel label and equipment OCR
  • Annotation replay timeline for training and dispute review
  • Signed PDF documentation for inspectors and customers

Real-world use cases

A service tech gets panel guidance without waiting for a supervisor

On a commercial fit-out the tech finds an unlabeled subpanel feeding equipment that must stay energized. He shares live video with the project foreman, who circles two conductors on screen and directs the sequence of testing. The work continues that hour rather than pausing until the next morning, and the annotated frames go into the closeout package.

A contractor documents pre-existing conditions before a service upgrade

Before replacing a 100A service, the crew runs a verified capture of the existing panel, grounding electrode, and meter base. When the homeowner later claims damage to unrelated circuits, the dated, geo-locked record shows the pre-existing condition and closes the dispute without a claim.

Electrical contractors FAQs

Can we replay what was marked up during a session?

Yes. Annotations are saved to a timeline you can scrub through, which is useful for training and for resolving disputes later.

Does the field tech need both hands free?

The session runs hands-free once connected, and the remote expert can trigger photo capture, zoom, and the light without the tech touching the phone.

Can a remote expert legally direct work over video?

The licensed person performing the work remains responsible; remote support is advisory, the same as a phone call, with better information. Contractors set internal rules about which tasks require an on-site supervisor.

Is video safe around live equipment?

The technician controls the camera and keeps both hands free using a phone mount or hands-free setup. Remote guidance often reduces risk by preventing the wrong assumption before the cover comes off.

Can inspectors or AHJs review captured evidence?

Verified reports can be shared through expiring links. Acceptance varies by jurisdiction, so most contractors use it to document work rather than to replace a required inspection.

Does it help with punch lists and closeouts?

Yes. A guided capture per room or per panel gives the GC a consistent, dated record instead of assorted phone photos, which speeds final payment.

Can we read panel labels and equipment plates automatically?

On-call OCR pulls text from captured frames so model numbers, ratings, and panel schedules are transcribed accurately into the record.
