SECTION 6: Test Inspections & Image Guidelines

1. Test Inspections

You can complete test inspections at any address. The system may warn that it's not your address, but you can still proceed.

2. General Image Guidelines

Coverage Requirements

• Capture all components listed in the app for main dwelling, guest house, workshops, etc. — even if there are no areas of conserns are visible
• It is not necessary to capture the full interior, we only need rooms where damage is present. (Test inspections = 1 room only)

Specific Items

• Contents: BBQs, patio furniture, playsets, plastic small sheds → capture under Contents section
• Fences: If no fence exists, take clear photos of each property line (Front, Right, Back, Left) showing its absence
• Always include (if present): windows, doors, soffits, gutters, downspouts, electrical panels, etc. even if no damage is visible

Image Quality & Composition

• Avoid repetitive images — 1 overview + up to 3 close-ups (Top, Middle, and Bottom) is enough for gutters/downspouts
• No images of people allowed
• No blurry images, No filters, No RAW images

3. Clear Image Standards

Resolution: 4000 × 3000 (12 MP, 4:3)
Format: JPEG Only (not RAW)
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Use higher resolution only if requested

Benefits For You

• More reliable uploads on weak cell service
• Quicker reviews with fewer re-upload requests
• Easier framing using 4:3 aspect ratio
• Reduced data use and storage needs

Benefits For the Team

• Speeds up processing during high volume
• Lowers storage and bandwidth costs
