• Smartphone Recording - Job Done

FM operators are among the early adopters of a new smartphone app that allows workers on site to securely capture video evidence of jobs completed, and ‘patch in’ experts or supervisors via live and recorded video links.

Developed by UK start-up YRfree, eviid app’s beta version has already been deployed successfully by Amey to use it to video-record job progress and completion on standard smartphones and tablets, generating instant, ‘definitive’ reports.

As a result, workers no longer have to laboriously fill in forms on site, take images or manually upload material to document site conditions and provide proof of work carried out.

Eviid also allows field technicians to resolve issues in real-time instead of having to delay jobs while seeking approval or advice from off-site specialists and management. It is designed for professional use and ensures footage and images are captured and stored securely and in line with data protection legislation.

Eviid consists of a smartphone app and a back-end system which together is claimed to constitute a secure, controlled environment. Access to images captured through the app is fully controlled within this system and does not, for example, show in the device’s photo gallery. Video is uploaded to secure storage quickly at typically 15 times the upload speed of a normal video file. Eviid adds a patent-pending, tamper-evident ‘wrapper’ of contextual data to any video captured through the app, turning it into evidence that would withstand scrutiny in court and serves as a reliable record of work in the event of a dispute.
