A home inventory is a responsible way for consumers to protect themselves if disaster strikes. Insurance agents routinely recommend making a home inventory, and customers just as frequently put it on their to-do list and don't think about it again.

Making a home inventory can be a cumbersome process. Oftentimes, if someone actually takes pictures or documents their belongings, they end up storing the information in an unsafe place in their home. If disaster strikes, the home inventory is then rendered useless.

Until recently, there have been few improvements on the home inventory concept, but technology advancements have meant a makeover for home inventories.
