LibrePhotograph the panel before you touch it.
Existing violations, rough-in runs, grounding, finished panels — a stamped record that separates the last guy's work from yours.
A job, documented panel to trim-out
As found, as built, as proven.
Walkthrough & existing conditions
- Panel interior as found — double-taps, missing knockouts, dead-front condition
- The circuit directory before you start tracing
- Service size, meter, and grounding as-is
- Scope shots with annotations for the bid
Rough-in
- Home runs and box locations before insulation
- Box fill and conductor sizing where it matters
- Nail plates and stapling on the studs
- Ground rods at depth, bonding jumpers made up
Trim-out & inspection
- Finished panel — torqued, labeled, directory updated
- GFCI and AFCI tests with the tester in frame
- Devices on, plates on, work clean
- One organized set per inspection
The record that protects your license
Half the risk in service work is inheriting someone else's shortcuts. The double-tapped breaker, the missing bonding jumper, the mystery junction in the attic — photograph them before you start, and they stay the last guy's problem. The other half is your own work disappearing: a clean rough-in means nothing in a dispute once it's behind drywall with no record. Stamped photos of runs, grounds, and tests — organized by job and tagged by circuit or area — are the cheapest liability protection in the trade.
Built for electricians
Panels, as found and as left
Open it, shoot it, work, shoot it again. The found-vs-left pair is your defense in a dispute.
Rough-in that outlives the drywall
Every run and box, GPS-tagged before insulation. The next service call on this house starts knowing what's behind the wall.
Tests in frame
GFCI trips, ground resistance, torque marks — the tester and the result in one photo, timestamped.
Captions without taking off your gloves
'Bedroom two, arc-fault, home run to space 14.' Said once, attached to the photo forever.
Inspection sets, not camera rolls
Group shots by area, circuit, or stage. The inspector sees an organized record instead of a camera roll.
Frequently Asked Questions
Because pre-existing violations become your problem the moment you can't prove they pre-existed. An as-found photo with a timestamp settles whose work is whose.
All of them — runs, boxes, nail plates, grounding. Before insulation it's thirty seconds of photos; after drywall it's a demo bill to find anything.
Yes. Tag by area, circuit, or inspection stage and share one organized set.
Yes. Offline-first — new construction with no signal is exactly what it's built for. Everything syncs later.
Nothing. LibreCam is free for every electrician on the crew.
