Keep inspection photos connected to what they prove

Fenwix attaches photo evidence to the relevant inspection item or finding instead of leaving images in an unstructured camera roll. It preserves the original separately from visual annotations, records capture-origin context and stores content hashes that support later source-record integrity checks.

Evidence diagram separating an original inspection photo from annotations while retaining record context.

Context first

Keep the photo with the checklist item, finding and note it supports.

Original plus annotation

Retain the original image while using a separate markup layer for arrows and emphasis.

Integrity signals

Store a SHA-256 digest and recheck linked files during supported verification.

Photo evidence without losing context

Open the item
Capture or attach
Annotate separately
Describe the condition
Verify with the source record

What makes a field photo useful evidence?

A useful photo needs more than pixels. The inspection item, time and capture source, explanatory note and related finding help a reviewer understand why the image was recorded.

Link to the exact checklist item
Preserve capture or import origin when known
Add a concise factual description
Use wider and detail views when one image cannot show context

Why keep the original separate from annotations?

Arrows and highlights help communication, but they should not replace the source image. Fenwix stores annotation context separately so the reviewer can distinguish the original visual evidence from the explanatory layer.

Original image remains available
Markup describes attention, not reality
Rendered annotation is a derived view
The distinction is carried into the record context

What do photo hashes establish?

A stored SHA-256 digest and later file recheck can reveal that the linked file is missing or no longer matches the value recorded by Fenwix. A hash does not establish when a real-world event happened or whether the scene was staged.

Useful for file-integrity comparison
Not a truth detector
Not a cryptographic user signature
Not a guarantee that an exported PDF is unchanged

Evidence-quality boundary

Capture enough context for another person to interpret the condition
Do not treat annotation as the original
Use privacy and workplace rules appropriate to people, locations and sensitive equipment

Photo inspection questions

Can I draw on an inspection photo?

Yes. Visual annotations can be added while the original image remains separately represented in the record.

Does Fenwix know whether a photo was captured or imported?

Fenwix records capture-origin context when the source is available; older or external evidence may have an unknown origin.

Can a changed photo be detected?

Hash and verification controls can reveal supported mismatches; they do not make a file impossible to alter.

Can photos appear in the report?

Linked evidence is represented in the inspection report flow, subject to the report composition in the current product.
