¶ Shooting recommendations
In normal mode, install the camera on a tripod at a height of 1.80 m from the floor. Depending on the shooting tasks and the room being shot, adjust the height based on the situation. For example, shooting utility lines in a two-level room with a ceiling height of 7 m.
IMPORTANT! To avoid adjusting the north direction of your photos, you need to install the camera as follows:
- Theta Z1 camera - the lens on the side with the camera display should be directed to the south of the plan (facing you).
- Insta360 X3 camera - the lens on the side with the camera display should be directed to the north of the plan (turned away from you).
In this case, the zero degree of the photo will be directed to the north of the plan.
IMPORTANT! Make sure your camera is set to photo mode (not video).
- Disable the camera's Wi-Fi and connect to a working Wi-Fi or mobile network (if using unlimited data plans)
- Go to the "Submit" section. To upload photos to the INSPECTION service, click "Submit all". Wait for the data to be uploaded.
- After sending the data, you can delete the photos taken from the smartphone memory by clicking “Delete sent photos”.
