[Shop-talk] insurance and inventories

[Pat Horne]

Right!

My iPhone XR will record videos, but I don’t know how long they can be. I just tried or & it recorded for over 6 minutes before I shut it off. 

My Nikon DSLR also records video but I have never used that mode. 

Both are rated as HD & take very good photos, so try what you have, I suspect it will be more than good enough, it can’t hurt. 

If you need something better, something digital would be best. When/if you need to move the videos to something newer it won’t degrade during the update like older analog stuff will.

If the video tape is still current, there are plenty of places that can digitize it for much less than the cost of new equipment. 

Peace,

Contacted by my home owners insurance co for renewal and thinking about the set amounts of coverage.  I remembered that I had made
an inventory video of everything in the house and especially the shop/tools showing everything on every shelf and every drawer.  took awhile.
 
I used a vhs video camera and transferred it to video cassette tape.  I realized today I have nothing to view this video on anymore
 
I need to update the whole inventory as things have changed...  don't think my phone will do it and wondering what is the best device/media/etc to
use...Technology has left me in the dust..
 
suggestions for equipment and format are appreciated... admitting this is an old man on a limited budget and limited tech knowledge..  in other words
KISS strategy..
 
thanks
 
john
