How do Visit Mode check-in and check-out work?

By the LockProof Team · Last updated November 11, 2026

Visit Mode records a check-in photo and a check-out photo, each a live capture with its own server-set time, and the time between them. It is switched on per assignment, inside the Visit Mode feature, which is on by default only for home care and home health.

What the worker does

  1. Tap the link and take the check-in photo.
  2. At the end of the visit, take the check-out photo through the same link.
  3. Add a note if needed, up to 280 characters, and submit.

What the office and the client see

The time on site is the difference between the two server-set times.

The office record shows both photos, captioned Check-in and Check-out, and a Visit row with both times and the duration.

A proof link for either half shows both photos.

A random-schedule send never runs the visit flow; it sends a single photo request. A manual send keeps the visit flow unless the assignment is random-only.

Common questions

Where does the client see the visit?

In the client portal, as Arrival and Departure with the times and the duration.

How long does the worker have to check out?

The link lasts the visit’s maximum hours, 12 by default.
