Every tool chosen for the courtroom.
Hardware and software decisions in a forensic pipeline are evidentiary decisions. Here is each choice, and the argument it was made to prevent.
Key terms
- Point cloud
- Measured three-dimensional coordinates produced by on-device LiDAR capture.
- SHA-256 hash
- A digital identifier that changes when the underlying file changes.
- Blockchain anchor
- A public timestamp for the file hash on the Bitcoin and Ethereum ledgers.
Quick answer
The HomeCloneVault stack pairs true on-device LiDAR interior capture with an enterprise mapping-class thermal drone for roof, elevation, and thermal imaging, a calibrated moisture meter baseline on every surface, GPS-tagged and timestamped photography, GPS-verified dispatch and custody logging, on-site hashing with second-party verification, and OriginStamp anchoring to both the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains.
Capture hardware
True on-device LiDAR
Interior LiDAR capture
A tablet-class device with a true LiDAR sensor measures geometry directly — consumer scanning apps on hardware without one silently fall back to photogrammetry. Point clouds are captured and exported in true formats (E57, OBJ, LAS) locally on-device with no mandatory cloud processing, preserving chain of custody from the moment of capture.
Enterprise thermal drone
Exterior · roof · thermal
An enterprise mapping-class drone pairing a thermal camera with 10x optical zoom, a laser rangefinder, and RTK-capable positioning. Captures roof condition, exterior elevations, and thermal anomalies — flown by FAA Part 107 licensed pilots, with a pilot attestation log.
Professional moisture meter
Moisture baseline
A calibrated instrument reads every wall, ceiling, and floor surface in every room; each reading is photographed in place, GPS-tagged and timestamped. Added to the standard protocol in Version 2.0 (July 2026) — no other pre-loss documentation service includes this as standard.
GPS-tagged photography
Inspection photography
GPS-tagged, timestamped photo documentation. Enables two-operator parallelism on site — one scanning interiors, one photographing exteriors simultaneously — which reduces total capture time.
Custody & anchoring
GPS-verified dispatch
Field operations
Dispatch, scheduling, and GPS-verified chain-of-custody logging. Every job creates a timestamped, technician-linked record before the first scan is captured.
OriginStamp
Anchoring
SHA-256 hash of every raw file — computed on-site and independently re-hashed by a second team member — anchored to Bitcoin and Ethereum through OriginStamp: Swiss-based, with a ten-year-plus track record and expert witness support available if a capture is ever challenged. Sealed records are held in write-once evidence storage under the HomeCloneVault brand.

The forensic principle behind every choice
The legal record is the raw point-cloud file hashed at the moment of capture — not a hosted viewer, not a copy, not a processed output. This distinction is the whole architecture.
Any design that routes the legal record through a third-party cloud before hashing creates a seam in the chain of custody: a window in which the file existed somewhere HomeCloneVault cannot account for. Opposing experts look for exactly that seam. Hashing at capture eliminates it.
The same reasoning drives the rest of the stack. Measured geometry instead of inferred geometry. An enterprise thermal-and-zoom mapping aircraft flown by FAA Part 107 certified pilots, with every flight GPS-tagged and pilot-logged. Calibrated instrument readings instead of a technician's opinion. Open export formats instead of a proprietary container only one vendor can read. Two independent blockchains instead of one. Each choice closes a line of questioning before it can be opened.

Why true LiDAR instead of a consumer 3D scanning app?
The interior capture device carries a true LiDAR sensor, which measures geometry directly. Consumer scanning apps on hardware without one silently fall back to photogrammetry, which infers geometry from photographs rather than measuring it. True LiDAR produces measured point-cloud geometry, and it exports in open formats on-device without mandatory cloud processing.
What drone does HomeCloneVault fly?
An enterprise mapping-class drone that pairs a thermal camera with 10x optical zoom and RTK-capable positioning, which is what roof condition, exterior elevation, and thermal-anomaly capture require. Every flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot, GPS-tagged, and recorded in a pilot attestation log, so the aerial files enter the same chain of custody as every other capture.
Why anchor to two blockchains instead of one?
Anchoring to both Bitcoin and Ethereum through independent services removes single-point dependence. Verification does not require trusting HomeCloneVault or any one provider — the proofs can be checked against public ledgers with open-source tools.
What file formats does the point cloud use?
Interior capture exports true point-cloud formats such as E57, OBJ, and LAS. These are open, widely readable formats, which matters when an expert on the other side of a dispute needs to examine the same file you hold.
