We are thrilled to share an exciting enhancement to your RentCheck experience – introducing 360° image Capture for Fast-Track Inspections!
What's New?
With our latest update, RentCheck now seamlessly integrates with Ricoh Theta 360 cameras, allowing you to capture every surface of a room effortlessly. (Supported camera models include the Ricoh Theta SC2, Theta V, Theta X, and Theta Z1.)
The best part? You won't need to download the native Theta app; the RentCheck app efficiently manages memory and photo storage.
How to Get Started:
Camera Connection: Ensure your mobile device is connected to the 360 camera's Wi-Fi network.
Simple Selection: When opening a room or area in a Fast-Track Inspection, choose the '360 Photo' option under Media Formats.
Effortless Capture: Position the tripod-mounted camera in the room's center and step out of the line of sight. With a single tap, capture a 360° image. Repeat this process for each room in the inspection where you would like to take a 360 photo.
You will still have the ability to capture still images as needed when documenting a room or flagging specific items for maintenance.
Swift Transfer: Images will swiftly transfer to your device, enabling you to thoroughly document a property and complete a 360 Fast-Track Inspection in record time.
Review and Share!
Upon completion, 360° images seamlessly integrate into RentCheck's shareable inspection PDF reports.
Each report displays a thumbnail of the 360° image, allowing easy access to the full 360° tour via the '360 Viewer' option in any web browser.
This powerful addition enhances your Fast-Track Inspections, providing a comprehensive visual perspective of properties with ease.
