Street-level imagery for property assessment

An in-depth visual perspective of properties and neighborhoods, captured in the field and delivered as high-quality MP4 video your office can navigate, pause and zoom.

High-quality MP4 video capture

Unlike static images, our street-level imagery uses MP4 video to capture detailed, continuous footage of properties and streetscapes. Assessors can pan through areas seamlessly, spot minute details, and gain a deeper understanding of each property in context. The MP4 format also provides a richer, more dynamic view that can be paused, replayed, or zoomed in on as needed.

Enhanced property analysis

Our service enables property analysis from multiple angles, offering key advantages over traditional imagery. Two features matter most in day-to-day assessment work:

  • Multiple views. A full, immersive perspective of each property and its surroundings, helping identify access routes, landscape features and neighboring structures.
  • Zoom capabilities. Pause, zoom in and analyze property details closely — identifying building materials, viewing signage, or inspecting surrounding infrastructure.

Efficient data collection and management

Our street-level imagery system simplifies data collection and makes it easy to organize and retrieve video footage. Built-in GPS data locates each video segment precisely and links it to specific parcels, allowing assessors to manage a comprehensive visual record of their coverage area.

Drone photography when a site calls for it

Ground-level video answers most questions. For the properties where it does not — a deep lot, an obscured outbuilding, a site a curbside pass simply cannot see — we can put a drone up and photograph it from above. It is a targeted supplement to the street-level record, not a separate flyover product.

Why use our street-level imagery

  • Comprehensive visual records. Build an extensive visual database of your assessment area, accessible from the office or on the go.
  • Time and cost efficiency. Reduce the need for repeated site visits and streamline property assessments by gathering detailed visual information remotely.
  • Seamless integration. Our imagery works alongside other property assessment tools, keeping the data assessors need in one place.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is street-level imagery?

Street-level imagery is a ground-level visual record of properties and streetscapes captured from the road. Piner Imagery records it as continuous video so assessors can view a property and its surroundings in context rather than from a single fixed photograph.

What format is the imagery delivered in?

Coverage is delivered as high-quality MP4 video. The format can be paused, replayed and zoomed, which makes it practical for detailed property review long after the capture pass.

Is each video linked to a parcel?

Yes. Built-in GPS data locates every video segment precisely and links it to the specific parcel it covers, so footage can be retrieved by property rather than searched for manually.

Do you fly drones?

Yes, where a property needs it. Drone photography is a targeted supplement for sites a curbside pass cannot see well — a deep lot or an obscured outbuilding. Piner Imagery is not a wide-area aerial flyover provider; street-level capture is the core service.
