Introducing Video Recording: A New Era for On-Site Documentation

We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new addition to the Bolster Systems app: Video Recording. This feature takes your on-site documentation to the next level, allowing you to record dynamic, context-rich videos that bring clarity to your reports in ways static photos simply can’t.
Imagine this: you're inspecting a fire door, and you want to show how smoothly (or not so smoothly) it opens and closes. Or maybe you’re checking a fire damper, and you need to document its operation to confirm it’s working as intended. Now, with video, you can show exactly what’s happening. No guessing. No ambiguity.
This feature is designed to solve real-world challenges. Videos provide clarity in complex situations, such as recording the function of mechanical equipment, documenting installation processes, or demonstrating completed repair work. For example, when conducting an inspection, you can record a walkthrough, highlighting key areas and providing stakeholders with a clearer understanding of the site's condition. These use cases not only improve communication but also save time by reducing follow-up questions and the need for additional site visits.
And the possibilities don’t stop there. Imagine sharing a quick video update from the site with your office team. Or compiling video evidence into your compliance reports to leave no room for doubt during audits. With the ability to capture what a still image can’t, your documentation becomes more transparent, credible, and useful.
We built the Video Recording feature to integrate seamlessly with the existing app interface. If you’ve ever taken a photo with the app, you’ll feel right at home with video. Simply update to the latest version of the app, and you’ll find it’s as easy as pointing your camera, pressing record, and saving the video to your project.
At Bolster Systems, we’re all about creating tools that adapt to your needs and make your work simpler, faster, and more effective. The Video Recording feature is another step in our mission to revolutionize compliance and safety documentation for the better.
So, whether you’re an on-site inspector, a contractor, or a compliance officer, this is your chance to turn documentation into something more dynamic and informative. Try it out today and see how video can transform the way you work.
