I find taking hundreds of pictures a lot easier than doing a video walk through. Even hundreds of pictures will take up less room (if you are using something like a cloud based storage service, like google drive, which is free) then a video. If you take your pictures by walking room by room, it's also easier to search through than trying to watch a 20-30 minute video. It's easier to share a picture, if you have to email it to your adjuster. Pictures tend to have a much higher resolution than video, meaning you can really zoom in and read fine detail. Also if a disaster does strike and you are trying to access pictures on your cell phone, it's easier to browse through them then trying to download and watch a huge multi gB video. Most people also don't have the software or knowledge on how to extract still frames from videos, and even if they did a lost computer / laptop might hinder when all they have is their phone or a strangers computer to work from. I recently went through my entire home and took hundreds of pictures. Be methodical about it, go room by room, opening every drawer and closet and taking an overall picture of the contents. Anything of exceptional value / importance that has some sort of serial number / model you can always take extra pictures of just those things. An overall picture of an open closet showing you own 10 dress shirts is good enough unless they are expensive or tailor made. I think it only took 20-30 minutes to photograph the entire contents of my home. Also take pictures of the home itself, both inside and out. This especially true if you are renting, take before and after pictures to mitigate any charges of damage your landlord might claim. Don't forget your automobiles, both interior and exterior. Then take all those pictures and store them on a cloud based storage service. The hundreds of pictures takes up less than 2gb for me.
