Learning About Home Security

As a home inspector, your mission is to uncover issues that are not necessarily easily visible or detectable. One significant tool used to help accomplish this goal is a bodycam, but not just any camera. The right home inspector bodycam will provide sharp and crisp images, with recording capability and other features. If you are in the market for a new piece of equipment for your business, learn more about some of the important features you should look for on home inspector body cameras. 

High Resolution

Look for cameras that provide high-resolution images for a crisper and professional result. Whether you need to explain an image to the builder or buyer, the easier it is for the other party to make out what you are highlighting in the image, the easier it is for them to understand the concern. A camera with at least a 720-pixel rating and a built-in flash is an excellent starting point.

Versatility and Flexibility

You know firsthand that the job of an inspector can take you to tight and hard-to-maneuver spaces, including areas that you may be unable to physically access. Make your job a lot easier by selecting a piece of equipment that is versatile and flexible, such as one that is small enough to be inserted into a pipe or with a bendable handlebar that allows you to maneuver the camera around tight spaces, such as the area between the wall and an air conditioner unit.

Upload Recording Capability

Ideally, it is best to select a camera that has a range of capability options for transferring data from the camera. For example, if you select a camera that only supports Windows systems, but you later upgrade your office equipment to a Mac operating system — the camera will be obsolete. A camera with versatility in this area can help ensure you can use the camera for a longer period.

Power Backup

There is no set time for an inspection. Sometimes, a large home can be completed in a short amount of time, while a small home with a long list of issues takes hours. Whatever the case, aim to select a camera that offers a battery backup in the form of replaceable, rechargeable batteries. With replaceable, rechargeable batteries, you can easily swap out a dead battery without any interruption to your job.

Keep all these features in mind while you search for a new camera for your business, and if you have any concerns, do not hesitate to ask a professional for assistance.
