By domain
When a moment does not repeat
Every situation where you must later prove authenticity, date and place — without the other party being able to claim the material was fabricated or altered afterwards.
No. 01
Mobility and accidents
Road accidents: position of vehicles, damage, road signs, plates and the other party's documents before removal; bicycle or scooter incidents; support for the accident report.
No. 02
Property and real estate
State of the premises at the start and end of a lease (to protect the deposit); damage from a neighbour's leaks or flooding; building abuse, encroachment and easements; vandalism and graffiti.
No. 03
Intellectual property and counterfeiting
Counterfeit goods on display in the street; unauthorised use of your works, photos or designs (shop windows, billboards, events); plagiarism — documented before the evidence disappears.
No. 04
Consumer and contracts
Goods delivered damaged or defective (return/warranty); condition of rented goods on return (cars, equipment); private sales.
No. 05
Environment and territory
Illegal dumping, discharges and pollution; civic reports (hazards, disrepair) with dated and geo-referenced proof.
No. 06
Neighbourhood, work and safety
Neighbour disputes and nuisances (noise, occupation of shared spaces); workplace safety conditions or injuries; damage or threats to your property.
No. 07
Authenticity in the AI era
Prove that a photo or video is original, unaltered and dated, against claims of manipulation or synthetic content (deepfakes).
No. 08
Insurance and claims
Condition of goods and property before and after a loss (theft, fire, weather events); dated inventory for reimbursement; documentation to support insurance assessments.
No. 09
Construction and inspections
Work progress (milestones) and acceptance tests with a certain date; defects and non-conformities; site safety; delivery and acceptance of supplies.
No. 10
Agriculture and crop damage
Damage from wildlife, hail or plant diseases on crops and facilities; dated, geo-referenced proof for compensation and farm insurance.
No. 11
Transport and logistics
Condition of goods at loading and unloading, integrity of seals and containers, in-transit damage to support CMR/delivery notes.
No. 12
Cultural heritage, art and restoration
Conservation state before and after treatment, authentication and provenance of works; dated documentation for assessments and insurance.
These are just examples. LOCUS applies wherever you need to fix a fact with a certain date, place and authenticity: the real range of cases is far broader than this list.
Warning. Recording people, conversations and private places is subject to legal limits (privacy/GDPR and third-party rights). LOCUS documents a fact and strengthens its authenticity, but admissibility and use remain assessed case by case.
