In geotechnical monitoring, images and videos collected in the field are the basis for high-impact decisions: assessing slope stability, documenting the evolution of a landslide, validating an intervention, or justifying a choice during an audit or expert assessment.
Yet there is a critical point many organizations discover too late: useful content is not automatically defensible content.
Without a structured certification process, photos and videos can be challenged.
And when responsibilities, timelines, and public safety are involved, contestability quickly turns into cost, delays, and risk.
That is the context behind the partnership between TrueScreen and Avacam: integrating continuous field acquisition with digital certification to turn operational content into defensible digital evidence for landslides and ground instability, from the very origin.
Why non-certified data becomes contestable
Without a data authenticity certification process, it becomes difficult to objectively prove that:
- that file was captured in a specific place and at a specific time;
- that content was not altered or replaced along the chain;
- the version you are viewing is the same version captured in the field;
- the content history is reconstructable, meaning there is a clear and verifiable digital chain of custody.
When these answers cannot be demonstrated, the following tend to increase:
- verification time and reconciliation efforts across stakeholders;
- challenges during audits and inspections;
- the risk that technical documentation is questioned during expert reviews or disputes;
- exposure to operational and reputational liability.
A partnership to ensure origin, integrity, and legal value of data
The collaboration between Avacam and TrueScreen is built on a shared goal: creating an integrated solution capable of enabling certified monitoring for landslides and ground instability.
Avacam contributes continuous monitoring systems that help observe landslides, unstable slopes, and sensitive infrastructure over time, generating content and data on scheduled intervals or event-based triggers.
TrueScreen enables content certification: images and videos can be sealed with a cryptographic fingerprint, timestamping, and verified metadata.
The result is content with strengthened integrity and traceability: a true piece of digital evidence with legal value.
Together, the two technologies create an end-to-end flow where field acquisition is ready to be used in audits, expert assessments, progress reporting, and official documentation.
How the integrated flow works
-
Field acquisition: Avacam systems collect images, videos, and data in monitored areas: at-risk slopes, construction sites, and infrastructure.
Content generation can be continuous or scheduled, depending on project needs and site conditions. -
Automatic certification at the moment of creation: when content is generated, it is immediately certified using TrueScreen technology, including:
- cryptographic fingerprint computation (hash);
- timestamping;
- association of verification-ready metadata such as geolocation, date/time, and acquisition information.
- Archiving and traceability: certified files are stored while preserving a verifiable history: who, when, where, and with which device/process. This enables reliable reconstruction of the digital chain of custody and reduces the ambiguity typical of manual handoffs.
- Use in audits, expert assessments, and documentation: when decisions must be made, an audit answered, a challenge handled, or technical documentation produced, the content is already ready, not as a simple attachment, but as evidence with reinforced digital provenance and data authenticity.
Showcasing the partnership at CES 2026
The new integrated solution between TrueScreen and Avacam officially debuted at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, one of the leading international events dedicated to technological innovation.
It was a unique opportunity to show how digital certification can become a key component in geotechnical and environmental monitoring systems.
FAQ: most common questions about the partnership
Here you can find concise answers to the most common questions about the Avacam and TrueScreen partnership and how to turn photos and videos into verifiable evidence.
1) What makes a photo or video “defensible”?
The ability to demonstrate origin, integrity, time, and traceability through a verifiable process (hash, timestamp, metadata, logs, and reports).
2) Can I use this content in audits and inspections?
Yes. These are among the most natural contexts, because the core need is to demonstrate consistency, integrity, and reconstructability of the documentation.
3) What changes compared to “saving everything on a company drive”?
Storage alone does not guarantee integrity or content history. The difference lies in the digital chain of custody and technical verifiability (hash, timestamp, report, logs).
Make your digital evidence indisputable
TrueScreen is a Data Authenticity Platform that helps companies and professionals protect, verify, and certify the origin, history, and integrity of any digital content, turning it into evidence with legal value.
