[Shop-talk] insurance and inventories

[john niolon]

Yea, Jim  I could use stills and a notebook to record details but it would be a 
lot of pictures and writing.. just thinking now I have over 70 drawers if
tools in my shop alone and would require a good bit of detail of written detail 
where "a picture is worth...."   Plus 
I'm a bit lazy...video just seems easier to me
and a copy to a thumb drive or two gives me the ability to store inventory offsite as well as at home...   Still researching though and looking for best ideas
 
Now I'm 
looking at cheap video cameras and baffled at all the specifications and 
wondering what I need

Does it need to be video? 
Can't it be still pictures?

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
