Recording a New Scan with the Mobile App

      1. Before starting, make sure your camera is switched on, your phone's Bluetooth connection, Wi-Fi connection, and GPS location (Android) functions are enabled. Also, make sure your camera is set up and prepared correctly, check our article if you need guidance on this.



      2. To get started, select 'Create Scan'.

      3. Select the site that you are scanning.

        Select site app

      4. Select your camera from the menu (note that it will only show if the camera is turned on). If you are using an X4 or X5 camera, the app will ask you for a password to connect to it. The password can be found by following these steps: Swipe to reveal the menu > Go to settings (cog symbol) > Go to wifi settings > The password is there, insert that on the Oculo app

        Select camera app
      5. When you are ready to start your walk, press Start Recording. Your project's floor plans will come up on the screen next for you to choose your starting location by dropping a pin.


      6. Once you confirm your starting location, the camera automatically starts recording - you may hear a beep and the camera's light will go flashing red. Most importantly, your Oculo app screen will now be showing you a scan timer and the scan action buttons.

When recording, be sure to follow the guidelines on how to perform an effective site walk.
