How do I use the Oculo Mobile App?

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 floorplans.

Downloading the app

1. 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.
   
   
   
   
   
2. When opening for the first time, select Sign In where you will be prompted to log in with your Oculo account details.

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 'New Scan'.
   

   

   
   
3. Select the site that you are scanning.
   
   
   
   
4. Select your camera from the menu (note that it will only show if the camera is turned on).
   
   
5. When you are ready to start your walk, press Start Recording. Listen out for the beep from the camera to indicate that it has started - you can confirm this by checking that the red light on the camera is flashing.
   
   
6. When recording, be sure to follow the guidelines on how to perform an effective site walk.

Creating and Uploading Mobile Issues

1. During recording, you can Add Photos, and Add Audio Notes by selecting the yellow buttons.
   
   
   
   
2. 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).
3. You can add a description now on your mobile, or come back to this later once the scan has been processed.
   
   
   
   Tip: Most phones now have dictation to text capability. By selecting the microphone button, you can easily dictate a description!
   
   
   
   
4. Once captured, you can also assign a category that can be later used for filtering in Oculo.
   
   
   
   
5. You can also select Add Audio to add a voice memo. You may be prompted to allow the app to access your microphone.
