How does inspection via VIEWAPP differ from ordinary photo fixation?
Ordinary photo fixation seems to be a quick and convenient way to check the condition of an object: take a photo, send it, and the issue seems to be resolved.
But for businesses where data reliability is important, this approach carries serious risks. Photos and videos taken without supervision are easy to fake, and the lack of confirmation of the place and time of shooting opens the door to fraud. The disadvantages of ordinary photo fixation
- Lack of verification — it is impossible to prove where and when the photo was taken.
- Risk of substitution — files can be replaced or edited without leaving any traces.
- Limited data — the expert only sees the final frame, but not the shooting process.
- No automatic analysis — all anomalies have to be searched for manually.
How inspection through VIEWAPP works
VIEWAPP is not just a collection of photos and videos, but a comprehensive system with multi-level protection and intelligent analysis. Shooting is carried out through a secure application that records the coordinates, time and technical parameters of the device, eliminating the possibility of material substitution. All data is stored in encrypted form and immediately sent to the server, which guarantees its authenticity. Built-in AI algorithms check the integrity and authenticity of images, identify inconsistencies and record attempts at manipulation. At the same time, the system automatically marks suspicious areas, helping the expert to carry out the analysis more quickly.
In addition, we are introducing a mechanism that allows analysing videos and automatically extracting key information necessary to confirm the authenticity of the inspection. The system itself finds and records data such as identification numbers, markings or other characteristics of the object and compares them with the information specified in the application. For example, when shooting video of a car, the system extracts the VIN number and checks it against the one specified in the form, which allows us to identify cases where other vehicles may be recorded in the video. The principle of operation is the same for all types of inspections, fr om cars and special equipment to real estate, machinery, or property insurance objects. For each scenario, the system automatically extracts the parameters that are important for checking a specific object, whether it is a serial number, cadastral number or other unique identifiers, and compares them with the declared data. This significantly speeds up the expertise and reduces the risk of errors or substitutions.
This hybrid approach, in which artificial intelligence works in conjunction with humans, ensures high accuracy and speed of inspections.
Why is this important for business
Unlike photo fixation, inspection through VIEWAPP provides not just a picture, but proof. This protects transactions, reduces losses from fraud, speeds up the decision-making process and increases trust between parties. For insurance, leasing, banking and other companies, this means real savings in time and money.
In today's world, wh ere any photo can be faked in minutes, VIEWAPP is like a reliable inspector who's always there and won't miss a thing.
Why replacing photos and videos is dangerous
Substituting inspection materials is not just a technical manipulation, but a source of serious losses. In insurance, for example, fake photos of damage can lead to payments for fake cases. According to major insurers, large-scale schemes involving the substitution of photos and videos in car insurance can bring fraudsters huge money loses per year. One substitution is enough for a non-existent object to be accepted for insurance — for example, a similar car with a different VIN number. If such an ‘insured’ car is reported stolen, the company’s losses could easily amount to the car’s value.
In the banking and leasing sectors, the consequences are no less dangerous — equipment can be issued or accepted for credit without identifying real defects, which can lead to losses. For classifieds, the substitution of recording materials means the publication of unconfirmed items, which creates a stream of unreliable advertisements, disappoints buyers and reduces trust in the platform. The result is always the same — financial losses and damage to reputation.
In an era when digital fakes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, businesses cannot rely on the ‘honesty of the image’. VIEWAPP closes this vulnerability, turning every inspection into reliable digital evidence that can be trusted. It is not just a verification tool — it is secure protection for transactions, assets and reputation.
