Customer verification for photo, video & audio

Verifento is a shared customer verification network: before the contract is signed you check the customer against a common database of documented incidents, and within two seconds you know whether anyone in the industry has reported them. For photo, video & audio the network knows 23 incident types, and typical damage in this industry falls in the 300 – 30 000 € range.

What happens most often in this industry

This list is not invented – these are the categories a company in this segment actually picks when reporting an incident. Each one shows the damage range companies report.

  • Equipment rented on a stolen ID1 000 – 30 000 €
    Professional photo/video equipment is rented on a stolen or forged ID document and disappears
  • Scratched front lens element500 – 10 000 €
    Skipping the UV filter and scuffing the expensive lens on branches or jacket zippers
  • Destroyed camera sensor2 000 – 15 000 €
    Burning the sensor by filming straight into sharp concert lasers – an exceptionally costly mistake
  • Drone crash and breakage1 000 – 10 000 €
    Crashing the drone into a tree, building or power line through pilot inexperience – a broken camera and arms
  • Drone lost in water / flyaway2 000 – 10 000 €
    Sinking the drone in a lake or losing signal so it flies away for good
  • Bent memory-slot pins500 – 3 000 €
    Inserting a CF card the wrong way or by force – bending the communication pins in the camera
  • Sand or water ingress500 – 5 000 €
    Shooting on the beach – fine sand gets into the lens focus rings (grinding the mechanism)
  • Liquid spilled on audio gear500 – 5 000 €
    Beer or drinks spilled on the mixing console during a party or wedding

What a company has to document

Without evidence a record cannot be created – that is the difference between a documented incident and defamation. In this industry the system offers these types of evidence:

  • Contract / order – Contract or order number
  • Signed handover protocol – Signed handover/return protocol
  • Photo documentation – Photos of the condition at handover and return
  • Unpaid invoice – Invoice number and due date
  • Damage assessment – Damage assessment by a workshop/insurer
  • Service report – Confirmation from an authorized service center
  • Inventory list – List of items with confirmed condition
  • Internal record – Reference in the company's internal system

How it works

You enter a phone number, e-mail or ID number. The system turns the value into an irreversible cryptographic fingerprint, matches it against the shared database and returns a traffic-light colour together with how many companies and what kinds of cases stand behind it. You never see other companies’ records, and no names or contact details are in the database at all. The decision to rent stays with you – the system does not make it for you.

Why a network, not an internal list

Your list protects only you. A customer who has never been to you is invisible to it – the network sees them, because someone has already reported them. The value grows with every company that joins: the denser the network in an industry, the sooner a problem is caught.
