DepositCam
Timestamped photo proof that gets your deposit back
DepositCam guides renters room by room through photographing their rental at move-in or move-out. Every photo gets the date, time, and GPS burned into the image. Export a dispute-ready PDF your landlord can't argue with. No account, photos never leave your phone.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built DepositCam after hearing the same story over and over: renter moves out, landlord invents "damage," deposit gone. The renter usually has photos — but they're scattered across a camera roll, undated in any provable way, and impossible to organize into something a landlord or small-claims judge takes seriously.
DepositCam fixes the whole chain:
📸 Guided walkthrough — it walks you room by room (with a checklist of what to shoot: walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, existing damage) so you don't miss anything.
🕐 Evidence-grade photos — date, time, and GPS coordinates are burned into the image pixels at capture, not just stored as metadata someone can dispute.
📄 One-tap PDF — a clean, organized condition report with a cover page and every photo labeled, ready to email your landlord or bring to court.
🔒 Private by default — no account, no cloud. Everything stays on your device.
It's free to document your entire place. Exporting the PDF report is a one-time $4.99 — cheaper than losing any fraction of your deposit.
It's a PWA, so it works on any phone from the browser — no app store, no install. Try it at depositcam.com.
I'd genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone who's fought (or lost) a deposit dispute: what evidence would have saved you?
Finally tried this after my last move-out and wish I had it sooner. The date and GPS stamp baked into each photo is exactly what makes it useful when landlords try to dispute damage.
The room-by-room flow makes it almost impossible to forget a spot, and having the GPS and timestamp baked right into each photo is genuinely clever. Wish I'd had this during my last move-out fight.
How does the PDF export handle disputes if the landlord claims the photos could have been edited before being uploaded to the report?
The local-only photos approach is genuinely thoughtful—plenty of apps treat your move-in docs like marketing data, so this feels like it was built by someone who's actually been through a deposit fight. Love that it spits out a PDF instead of forcing yet another login.
Does the PDF include which device took each photo or some kind of tamper-proof verification, or is the timestamp and GPS alone what holds up in a dispute?
