What does the photo link open?
The link opens the phone’s camera in the browser, and the photo is taken from the live view. There is no gallery button, so a photo already on the phone can’t be attached. When the worker submits, the phone asks for location, and it is saved only if the worker shares it.
What the worker does
- Tap the link in the text, WhatsApp message or email.
- The camera opens in the browser. Take the photo.
- Check the preview.
- Submit. The phone asks for location at this point.
What gets recorded and how long the link lasts
The phone’s own time for the photo is kept as information only. The time that counts is set by the server when the photo arrives.
A company can turn on a rule that requires a location reading before a worker can submit. That rule checks that a reading exists; it does not compare it with the site.
The link lasts for the check’s response window, or for the visit’s maximum hours in Visit Mode, 12 by default.
Common questions
Can a worker upload a photo from the gallery?
No. The page has no file or gallery input. The photo comes from the live camera view.
What if the worker says no to location?
The photo still goes through, with no coordinates, unless your company requires location. Then a reading is needed before the worker can submit.

Opening 0:00
A manager worries the crew won’t use another app. A worker just wants to do the job. Here is everything a worker sees: a text, a camera, and a done screen.
The text 0:11
It starts with a text. There is no app to download, and no password to remember.
The photo 0:17
One tap opens the camera. It takes a live photo, in the phone’s browser. The photo library is blocked.
On the record 0:25
They tap Submit, and it is on the record. Our server sets the time when the photo arrives. The phone asks to share its location, and the office can require it.
On their own 0:36
Something nobody scheduled still gets a record. A worker’s own link logs a photo any time. It is marked as theirs, and kept out of the compliance numbers. LockProof. Know the work got done, without calling anyone. See it for your own crew at lockproof.com.
