How to Use the PLANIX Pro Camera

This button is used to capture a panoramic (Pano) image. Press it when you're ready to take a shot. 

• This mode is helpful when there is no hiding place while capturing a 360-degree panoramic image.
• First, capture half of the image while standing behind the camera (position yourself behind the power button).
• Then, move to the front of the camera to capture the rest of the image.
• Make sure to follow these steps carefully for a seamless two-shot capture. 

• This option allows you to add tags to your panoramic images in real-time.
• Click the Tag Icon, and you will be prompted to add a title to the tag.
• Select the tag type and enter a description.
• Tap Next, then choose the area in the image where you want to place the tag by tapping on the screen.
• Tap Next again and adjust the tag's distance by moving it on the screen.
• Click Save to add the tag to the image. 

If your panoramic images are not automatically aligned, click the Align Button to align them manually. For additional guidance, you can find further details about laser data and alignment by following this link (if available). 

• This button allows you to switch between three different views of the survey screen:
• Recommended View: This view displays the visuals of the image at the top of the screen and the laser data at the bottom. It is suggested for most users as it provides both a clear image and relevant data.
• Image-Only View: Displays only the captured panoramic image, hiding the laser data.
• Laser Data-Only View: Displays only the laser data, hiding the panoramic image.
• Depending on your task or preferences, you can switch between these views as needed. 

You can use this button to navigate between all the scans you have captured. This makes it easy to review and ensure all necessary scans have been taken or to return to a specific scan for review or adjustments. 

What is SLAM?

SLAM is a feature that helps operators understand the camera's position in relation to previous scans, giving a sense of how well future scans will match up. The SLAM system uses the lidar sensor on the PLANIX Pro, along with previously captured scans to locate the camera on a floor plan. Tracking begins once at least one scan has been completed, and the camera’s position will only display on the screen if the “show live lidar data” option is enabled in the app.
