If your phone takes pictures, it ought to take video as well.  Save it to
Google Drive (free) and you should be good to go.

Coincidentally, I recall doing the same thing on an 8mm vhs cassette.  I
should update too...

Hi John,

We've had two successful claims over the years using simple videos (iPhone)
and a written inventory.  I did a walk-through video by room/type (e.g.,
shop/garage), then watched it and made a list of the items with model
number and on bigger things serial number (also PDF receipts, but State
Farm did not ask for those).  Simple and effective with State Farm and a
bonded warehouse (used the same method to inventory our items in storage).

Best,
Ian

I need to update the whole inventory as things have changed...  don't=20
think my phone will do it and wondering what is the best device/media/etc t=

old man on a limited budget and limited tech knowledge..  in other words
KISS strategy..

Modern cell phones can record for as long as they have storage. I have
three kids (9, 7, 4.75) and that's why I have a 256GB storage iPhone SE2! I
also have a couple of GoPro cameras, which take shockingly good video (and
have removable micro-SD card storage).

That said, if what you have is your mobile phone (or a tablet with a
camera), I would just do the video walkthrough (don't rush, and talk to the
camera to elaborate/explain what's being seen as if you're talking to your
insurance adjuster) and save it both locally (USB sticks are cheap and
durable) and in your preferred cloud provider.

I'll add that if you have VHS, 8mm and/or Beta video cassettes (or
LaserDiscs) you'd like converted to digital (or modern physical media), I
can do that.
