Compliance Lens

AI visual inspection for the field — Samektra's mobile companion to the ITM Report Analyzer

Mobile AI tool · iOS + Android

Samektra Compliance Lens

Point your phone at a fire extinguisher, an exit sign, an electrical panel, a sprinkler riser, or any other life-safety item, and Compliance Lens analyzes the photo for code violations in seconds — NFPA, OSHA, IBC, IFC, CMS K-Tags. It's the on-the-ground counterpart to the ITM Report Analyzer on this site: one audits the inspection PDF you already have, the other catches the findings before the next inspection is written.

Why pair Compliance Lens with the ITM Analyzer

Two ends of the same inspection cycle

ITM Report Analyzer

Audits the PDF you already have

After your contractor delivers the annual / quarterly report, drop the PDF into the Analyzer. It parses the device inventory, audits against NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 frequency requirements, flags failures, and lists what should have been tested but wasn't.

Compliance Lens

Catches findings before the next inspection

Walk the building with your phone. Compliance Lens analyzes each photo in real time and tells you what a code official would flag — obstructed clearance, expired tags, missing signage, incorrect mounting heights, and hundreds more.

Coming soon: the two tools will share a record. Deficiencies you catch on a Compliance Lens walk will feed directly into the ITM Analyzer's pre-inspection log so your contractor can address them BEFORE the annual test — turning "reactive" compliance into "proactive."

What Compliance Lens Actually Does

AI photo analysis

Snap a photo of any life-safety item — extinguisher, exit sign, electrical panel, sprinkler riser, storage clearance, kitchen hood — and the app returns a list of potential violations with supporting notes.

Standards-aware findings

Each finding is cross-referenced against applicable codes: NFPA 10, 13, 25, 72, 96, 101; OSHA 29 CFR 1910 + 1926; IBC, IFC; CMS K-Tags for healthcare. The citation appears on the finding card, not just a generic warning.

Contextual guidance

The app suggests related items to check once you flag one. Spot an extinguisher with an expired tag? It prompts you to verify the 6-year maintenance and the monthly visual inspection log.

Structured audit workflow

Walk the space with a guided checklist that captures photos, AI findings, and your own notes in one record. At the end, export a pre-inspection punch list you can hand to your contractor or safety team.

Photos stay on device

The AI analysis runs through a secure pipeline and discards the image after findings return — no facility photos get stored server-side unless you explicitly save to your account.

Built for three audiences

Facility managers verifying readiness between annual inspections. Safety consultants performing walkthroughs at new client sites. AHJ inspectors building consistent, documented findings in the field.

How a Compliance Lens Walk Works

  1. 1

    Start an audit

    Open the app, select the building or site you're walking, and pick a template (healthcare, commercial, industrial, restaurant, or custom).

  2. 2

    Capture as you walk

    Photograph each life-safety item you pass — fire extinguishers, exit signs, electrical panels, storage clearance, sprinkler risers, fire alarm devices, hoods. The app adds each to the audit record.

  3. 3

    Review AI findings

    For every photo, the app shows a finding card with the suspected violation, the applicable code citation, and a suggested corrective action. You accept, edit, or dismiss each finding with a tap.

  4. 4

    Add your own notes

    Professional judgment is still the final word. Add context the AI couldn't see (date of last service, conversation with the occupant, your read of whether the AHJ would cite it).

  5. 5

    Export the punch list

    Generate a pre-inspection punch list as PDF, CSV, or email. Pass it to your contractor, your facility team, or the property owner — same format every time.

What Compliance Lens Typically Catches

Portable extinguishers
Expired 6-year / 12-year tags · obstructed or misshelved units · wrong class for the hazard · mounting > 5 ft for units over 40 lb · missing monthly visual sticker
Means of egress
Blocked or reduced-width corridors · storage within 18" of the sprinkler deflector · locked exit doors · missing or damaged exit signs · egress locking without fire-alarm release
Electrical clearance
Less than 3 ft in front of panels (NEC 110.26) · panel directory missing or stale · open knockouts · extension cords used as permanent wiring · daisy-chained power strips
Sprinkler + standpipe
Less than 18" clear below heads · painted / corroded heads · missing escutcheons · tamper switches not wired / alarm panel silent · missing hydraulic placard · expired spare-head cabinet
Fire alarm
Obstructed pull stations · blocked strobes or horns · missing or damaged FACP annunciator labels · expired batteries · missing FA zone placard at riser room
Kitchen (NFPA 96)
Missing / damaged grease filters · heavy grease loading visible · missing hood suppression tag · pull station inside the kitchen instead of at egress · suppression nozzle not aimed at appliance
Fire-rated barriers
Unsealed pipe / cable penetrations · fire door propped open without listed hold-open · missing 30" undercut seal · damaged intumescent seal · corridor door that won't fully latch
Healthcare (CMS K-Tags)
Oxygen in corridors (K-Tag 921) · storage over 30 sq ft in hazardous-rated room without suppression · medical gas shutoff valve not labeled · smoke compartment door propped open

This is not an exhaustive list — the underlying model is trained against thousands of code citations and continues to expand. A finding is always a suggestion; the AHJ still has final authority on what gets cited.

Who Uses Compliance Lens

Facility managers

Verify readiness between annual inspections. Catch a newly blocked exit, a moved fire extinguisher, or a new storage aisle that cut the 18-inch clearance — before the surveyor does.

Safety consultants

Walk a new client site and build a pre-engagement deficiency report in under an hour. Hand the client a credible, documented starting point instead of a back-of-napkin list.

Contractors + inspectors

Standardize the first-pass walkthrough on complex facilities. Share findings with the office for quoting or report prep without rekeying data into another system.

AHJ inspectors

Document findings consistently across inspectors. Every citation references a photo + code, eliminating the "he said / she said" about what the inspector actually saw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Compliance Lens a substitute for a licensed inspector?
No. The app is a screening aid that surfaces likely deficiencies for a human to review. The AHJ and the licensed fire marshal still have final authority on what constitutes a code violation. Treat findings as a punch list to verify, not as a citation.
How is it different from the AI Photo Hazard Finder on this site?
The Photo Hazard Finder on lifesafetywiki.com is a single-photo web tool — upload one image, get a report. Compliance Lens is a full mobile audit workflow — walk a building, capture multiple photos in sequence, maintain an audit record, export a punch list. Think of the web tool as a demo; Compliance Lens is the field tool.
Does it cover healthcare / CMS K-Tag findings?
Yes. Healthcare is a first-class template in the app. Common K-Tag findings (oxygen in corridors, smoke compartment integrity, hazardous area rating, egress, medical gas signage) are all part of the model. The healthcare template also prompts for CMS-specific documentation items that a general commercial walk wouldn't catch.
What happens to the photos I take?
Photos are sent to Samektra's analysis pipeline, processed against the violations model, and discarded after findings return. No photo is stored on a server unless you explicitly save the audit to your account. Audits saved to an account are private to the signed-in user and can be deleted at any time.
Will Compliance Lens eventually connect to the ITM Report Analyzer on this site?
Yes — that's the planned pairing. Deficiencies captured during a Compliance Lens walk will be importable into the ITM Analyzer's pre-inspection log so the same data can drive the annual inspection workflow. The two tools are already aligned on the same standards library; the integration just makes the data move without manual re-entry.
Is there a pricing tier for enterprise use?
Basic use is free on both stores. Enterprise features (shared audits, team dashboards, API access for facilities-management integrations, volume licensing) are available directly from Samektra — contact Stanislav Samek at stanley.samek@proton.me for licensing discussions.
