Check-in and check-out

Two scans of the same space and one comparison give you an evidence-backed record of what changed: for holiday rentals, long lets, moves, equipment handovers or vehicle returns.

1. Before​

npx spacecontext scan checkin.mp4 --name "Flat 4B — Rossi stay" --type apartment

Walk every room, open cupboards, film appliances and anything already damaged, and say it out loud ("small scratch on the table, already there").

2. After​

Scan the same space again, with its id:

npx spacecontext scan checkout.mp4 --space spc_3f…

3. Compare​

npx spacecontext scans spc_3f…                       # the two scan ids
npx spacecontext diff spc_3f… --from scn_checkin…        # add --json for the full answer

The check-out scan is analysed against the check-in one: the same objects keep their names, and something is reported gone only when a frame shows its place empty. The comparison lists items added, gone, moved, with a changed quantity or condition, issues new or fixed, and, apart, what the check-out scan simply did not show (not_seen): it may be missing, or not filmed. Every entry links to its evidence frames in both scans: the original frames, with their time in the video, never retouched.

With an agent​

Connected through MCP, an assistant can do it for you:

Compare the check-in and check-out scans of Flat 4B and list anything damaged or missing, with photos.

Notes​

  • Comparisons match records by content, so the same room filmed from another angle is still the same room.
  • Film the check-out the way you filmed the check-in: the same rooms, in the same order, with cupboards open. What the camera does not show ends up in not_seen, never in removed.
  • A scan made while lights are off or too fast can miss things: check coverage in both documents before drawing conclusions.
  • Keep both scans: deleting the space deletes its history.
