Upscaling for Property Inspection
What upscaling does for property inspection footage, when it helps, and how BetterVideo's API applies it to the real capture.
🔒 Footage deleted on your schedule — with a certificate to prove it
- Fine defects — hairline cracks, lifted shingles, leaks — vanish in soft or low-res video.
- Drone and handheld footage is shaky, hiding the very detail you're documenting.
- Reports go out at volume, so enhancement has to be automated.
Where upscaling helps
Defects live in fine detail that low-res inspection clips lose. Upscaling to 1080p or 4K makes a hairline crack or a lifted shingle legible in the report. BetterVideo upscales with Real-ESRGAN, per clip, through the API.
How BetterVideo does it
BetterVideo applies upscaling through one REST call — Real-ESRGAN x2 upscales to 1080p or 4K — and for property inspection, sharpens and upscales footage so cracks, leaks and wear are legible, and runs per clip through the API — without inventing detail.
Common questions
Can upscaling reveal a hairline crack?
Upscaling enlarges and clarifies the real footage so fine defects are easier to see; it doesn't add defects that weren't there.
What resolution can I get?
1080p or 4K, via Real-ESRGAN.
