Northline Capture

Northline Capture is a field tool for fire safety and emergency management consultants. You walk a client's building once. The app records the shape of the space, the dimensions that matter, and the deficiencies you observe as you find them. Northline turns that single visit into a report you can put your name on. WHAT IT DOES Builds the floor plan as you walk. The LiDAR scanner maps the space in real time, so you watch coverage appear on screen instead of hoping you got everything. If you missed a corner, you can see it before you leave the site. Captures dimensions to the centimetre. Door widths, aisle clearances, travel distances to an extinguisher. Measurements are scan derived evidence to support your judgement, not a pass or fail verdict. You reference the codes. The app gives you the numbers and the picture. Records observations where you are standing. Point, tap, and the finding is fixed to that exact spot in the building with a photograph of what you were looking at. Add a voice note and it is transcribed on your phone while you keep walking. Pairs with an Insta360 X5. The app starts and stops the camera so the full 360 view of every space lines up with your walk. Your client gets a walkthrough they can move through themselves. Covers multiple floors and large sites. Add areas as you go. The pieces are joined into one building afterwards. The method behind it, joining a LiDAR floor plan and a 360 walk into one measured building, is patent pending. WHO IT IS FOR Independent consultants and small firms doing interior safety and readiness work. If you currently walk a site with a clipboard, a tape measure and a phone camera, this replaces all three and gives you something better at the end of it. WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone or iPad Pro with a LiDAR scanner. The floor plan and every measurement depend on it, and the app will tell you plainly if your device cannot do it. An Insta360 X5 camera. The app will not start a capture without one paired, on purpose. A visit that comes back without the 360 footage is a visit you have to make again. A Northline account. Accounts are provisioned for contracted consultants, so there is no sign up in the app. Contact us if you would like to work with us. HOW YOUR DATA IS HANDLED Voice notes are transcribed on your device. The audio is never uploaded and never leaves your phone. Only the text you see is stored. Captures are uploaded to Northline infrastructure and belong to your client. There is no advertising in this app, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Captures from Canadian sites are processed and stored in Canada. Everything runs on Northline controlled infrastructure in North America and is never handed to a third party scanning service. Location is read once at the start of a scan, roughly, so a capture is matched to the right building. It is never used to track you and only while you are scanning. AFTER THE WALK Your capture is processed and delivered to the Northline portal, where you review every finding, set its severity and attest to it in your own words before anything reaches your client. Nothing is published that a person has not stood behind. The finished report carries the floor plan, your findings, the photographs and the walkthrough. One visit. A drawing, the measurements, the evidence and a report.
