What Is a Porter Video?
A porter video is a short recording created by a delivery driver or courier to document a handoff, pickup, or drop-off. It typically shows the package, the recipient or authorized signatory, and the surrounding context to provide visual proof of delivery.
Why Businesses Use Porter Video
Companies use porter video to reduce disputes, prevent claims, and strengthen accountability. The footage serves as evidence that a parcel reached the correct person or location, which is especially important for high-value or sensitive shipments.
How Porter Video Works in Practice
Drivers record short clips at the time of delivery using a mobile app or handheld device. The video is linked to the shipment record and stored securely alongside delivery metadata such as time, location, and recipient confirmation. For more details on digital proof of delivery, see this overview.
