Oculo Mobile App user guide

Our app makes on-the-go documentation simple and efficient. Take photos and leave voice memos during your scan that are automatically pinned in the right location on your floor plans.

To download the app - visit the Apple App Store or Google Play, search for "Oculo", and download to your device. Alternatively scan this QR code on your mobile.

When opening for the first time, select Sign In where you will be prompted to log in with your Oculo account details.

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.
To get started, select 'New Scan'.
Select the site that you are scanning.
Select your camera from the menu (note that it will only show if the camera is turned on).
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.
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.

During recording, you can Add Photos, and Add Audio Notes by selecting the yellow buttons.
When you select Add Photo, your camera will open up. Take the photo as normal, and if it looks good then select Use Photo (you can hit Retake for another go if needed).
You can add a description now on your mobile, or come back to this later once the scan has been processed.
Once captured, you can also assign a category that can be later used for filtering in Oculo.

You can also select Add Audio to add a voice memo. You may be prompted to allow the app to access your microphone.
In the voice menu, simply hold to record and begin speaking. Release the button to end the recording, and click Save.
You can also assign a category from the drop down list for filtering at a later date, before clicking Save.

When you are finished with your scan, press Stop Recording, then select Yes to confirm that you want to finish. Your site's floor plans will come back up again, for you to select your ending location this time. Once confirmed, the camera will automatically stop recording.
You will see a confirmation that the scan has finished. Select Upload Data to upload the photos and mobile notes - you can wait until you are back on Wifi to do this if needed.

*Note that this step does not upload the scan itself, which is still required via the Desktop Upload App.
