img27345.jpg doesn´t ring a bell?
Sort-Cam helps you to label your pictures plausibly while taking them, thus preventing trouble and chaos afterwards.
With Sort-Cam you´ll change img43274.jpg into a significant Ms_Miller.jpg
This app* doesn´t name photos according to the familiar pattern with a serial number, but with a text defined by you, and with date or time additionally. In this way, instead of IMG.27354.JPG you´ll have a telling name like (for a construction company) Jones_facade_001.JPG, or (in real estate) Jones_livingroom_001.JPG. You can then file these photos or forward them to a colleague without having to open and view them again. This spares the trouble of having to find captions for your pictures later on. That can be a considerable advantage, especially if you have a larger number of similar photos, or if the labeling of the pictures is done much later. In addition to that, the check list trait of the app helps you to recognize which pictures are still wanting – in case you need them, e.g. for customer documentation.
Savings / Advantages
- Practically no more time needed to file / label photos
- Checklist minimizes journeys
- Acquirable from Google Playstore
- Automatic updates via Google Playstore
- (Pro) Transfer of photos via UMTS / WIFI – no need to go to the office to hand over the photos
- (Pro) Quick availability of the photos
- (Pro) Less danger of loss in case of camera / memory card damage, since photos are transferred immediately

- (Pro) Easy to configurate by QR code (especially easy with many cameras)
Please consider that this app is available only for Android-OS and therefore just works for smartphones, tablets and cameras with Android-OS. Special Android cameras (with zoom) are about € 100 - € 200 more expensive than “normal” cameras. The quality of normal Point & Shoot cameras is definitely matched by Samsung and Panasonic Android cameras and will suffice in most cases. For most purposes, state-of-the-art Smartphones are probably good enough.
Versions
Project Companion (Pro) |
SortCam (Standard) |
SortCam (Demo) |
This version is configured for you and integrated into a – possibly existing – project management tool. You can then export projects / places / customers from your tool and link them with various lists of categories. You can determine, for instance, that with customer Jones, who owns a house, different categories are shown than with customer Smith, who owns a flat. The app recognizes the customer when submitting and shows the relevant categories. |

Like standard version, but limited to 4 symbols (markers) for projects and categories and to 4 categories Before purchasing the app, please use this version to test whether your hardware is compatible with it and whether it suits your needs! |
