RDI workflow
Remote Site Monitoring & Progress Checking
the evidence system live camera feeds and recorded playback entirely replace the need for a PM, superintendent, or senior manager to physically travel to site to check on activity, manpower levels, and general site conditions.

Trigger, activity, conclusion
The start of the working day, an incoming report of an incident or concern, or a routine need to verify site conditions — initiated by a PM, superintendent, senior manager, or owner who is not physically present on site.
Checking live or recently recorded camera footage via the the evidence system platform to assess manpower levels, confirm that scheduled activities are underway, identify any overnight or early-morning incidents, and gather enough visual information to direct decisions without a site visit.
The PM, supervisor, or remote stakeholder has a sufficient and accurate picture of site status to direct their day, issue instructions to site staff, respond to an incident, or update stakeholders — without having physically visited the site.
Workflow steps
- Step 01
PM, superintendent, or senior manager opens the the evidence system platform on desktop or mobile at the start of the day or upon receiving an alert, notification, or query.
Evidenced - Step 02
Live view accessed across one or more cameras to confirm that site activity has commenced and manpower levels are as expected for the day's planned scope.
Evidenced - Step 03
Scrub-back / playback used to review overnight or early-morning periods — checking for incidents, unauthorised access, or early-start trades.
Evidenced - Step 04
PTZ cameras panned or zoomed to specific work zones of interest where critical or schedule-sensitive activity is planned.
Inferred - Step 05
If an issue or anomaly is identified, the supervisor either investigates further via footage playback or contacts the site foreman or manager directly.
Evidenced - Step 06
Snapshots or short clips captured to document current conditions or flag a specific observation for sharing.
Inferred - Step 07
Supervisor updates their daily log, morning report, or stakeholder communication based on camera observations — without needing to physically visit the site.
Evidenced - Step 08
For large sites, the camera check replaces multiple internal site traversals throughout the day, not just external travel.
Inferred - Step 09
Dedicated monitors in the site office display continuous live feeds, enabling passive background monitoring alongside active checks.

Evidence records
the evidence system essentially saved us from having to hire a new Verizon PM for the midwest. With the evidence system, I can remote project manage the jobs in the midwest from NJ.
He uses the evidence system daily to see the site activity and manpower on site — uses the cameras every morning to check for incidents on site and document progress.
Supervisors used the scrub-back tool to monitor early-morning activity without needing to leave the site office. The ability to remotely check work zones helped avoid multiple daily trips across the site.
ROI model
site visit avoidance
Evercam replaces or reduces physical site visits with remote viewing. The baseline cost is the number of visits × cost per visit. The saving is the proportion of visits that Evercam eliminates.
saving = visits_per_week × project_duration_weeks × visit_cost × evercam_reduction_pct
