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. ## Is Northline Capture safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Northline Capture. ## Is Northline Capture legit?

The job waits for the files, then processing starts by itself. We email you the link. At the end of a long scan the app tells you about how much 360 footage there is and suggests the fastest way to send it. Booking: an organization admin can choose who scans, and change who scans on an existing job. Clearer messages: if the 360 camera cannot start recording, for example with no memory card, the app says what is wrong and what to do. ### 1.3.5 — 2026-10-11 A clearer, calmer look across the app, in Northline's colours. Starting a scan: one tap starts one scan, and the button shows that it is checking. Camera settings: the app says plainly what needs fixing and can set the shutter and white balance for you in one tap. Buildings with several floors: pick each floor from a list, floors you have already scanned are marked, and one floor can no longer be saved over another. The map you see while scanning stays steady in large buildings and follows you as you walk. Booking: choose the size from plain examples. An organization admin can choose who scans: themselves, a teammate, or decide later. Taking over a job: the app warns you if the person holding it has already started. Tablets: your jobs list sits beside the job, and sites show as a grid. More of the app is now in French. ### 1.3.4 — 2026-10-05 Book a scan from the app. Pick the building and its size, and you're booked in a few taps. We hold the fee on your card and charge it only after the scan is uploaded, for the size we measure. Sites now has search, and the buildings near you are listed first. If a building already has a scan booked, the app tells you who is scanning it, and an organization admin can take the job over with Do it myself. Ask for a free re-scan if a capture goes wrong. Works with no signal: your jobs, starting a scan and the upload queue keep working, and uploads finish on their own when you're back in range. Transfers from the camera can wait until later. Finished tours open full screen in the app. Canadian sites upload straight to storage in Canada. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-25 Connecting your Microsoft account now happens on the Northline website, where Microsoft confirms it is really you before anything is linked. In the app, open Account → Microsoft sign-in and tap Connect on the Northline website. When you come back, the app shows it as connected. Signing in with Microsoft still asks for your 6-digit code every time. ### 1.2 — 2026-09-23 Forgot your password? Reset it right from the sign-in screen. The email comes from Northline Readiness. If it isn't in your inbox, check your Junk folder. Sign in with Microsoft, Google, Apple or your email address. Microsoft sign-in now works on the first try for companies connected to Northline. Set up your authenticator app without leaving Northline Capture. When you turn it on, you sign in once more with your code, so every session is protected from the start. A new consultant can be up and working in a few minutes, on one phone. Rebuilt for iPad, with type and controls sized for the screen. Clearer sign-in messages that say what happened and what to do next, and steadier multi-floor captures. ## More apps by Handheld Hazmat Inc. - [Sygnal - CBRNE Training](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sygnal-cbrne-training/id1494471122) - [SYGNAL - Gas Detector Training](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sygnal-gas-detector-training/id6482998390) All apps by Handheld Hazmat Inc.: https://appshunter.io/developer/1494471121 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
