BCA Compliant

📸Equipment: 360 Camera

1. Utilise a high-quality 360 camera compatible with Android and iOS devices.

• We recommend using Insta360 cameras, which is a leading 360 camera brand in the market, as we have integrated the SDK for Insta360 into our Capture app in order to manage the camera from the app.

2. Ensure the camera supports at least 6K resolution, is suitable for low-light conditions, and is equipped with dual 1-inch CMOS sensors.

• Insta360 X4 and OneRS 1-inch cameras support up to 8K resolution.

3. Battery capacity must be able to support at least 60-90 minutes of continuous video capture.

• The X4 has increased its battery capacity to 2290mAh, which allows for 135 minutes of recording time at 5.7K30fps.

• The X4 was tested in a lab environment in Video Mode at 5.7K30fps. Run time at 8K30fps is 75 minutes.

• But the recommended duration is up to 30 minutes at 5750 resolution and above. Longer videos may experience longer processing times.

4. Employ a camera featuring 6-axis stabilisation and a proprietary image stabilisation algorithm for smooth videos.

• The Insta360 One RS 1-inch offers

💻Equipment: 360 Capture Platform

1. Ensure that the platform allows users to capture 360 capture using most 360 cameras.

• Supporting every camera on the market is an unrealistic expectation for any platform. However, we have integrated the Insta360 SDK into our app, allowing seamless management of Insta360 cameras directly. If you prefer to use a different camera, you can still use Evercam by manually handling tasks like copying and downloading footage. Evercam is designed to be as hardware-independent as possible, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of setups.

2. The platform must be able to capture by continuous capture, by spot captures or by mixed captures.

   • For large areas, continuous capture must be used.

   • For smaller areas such as a room or a toilet unit, spot capture is allowed. However the operator must ensure the spot capture is able to clearly capture all four sides of the room, the floor and ceiling.

   • Mixed capture refers to the utilisation of both types of capturing methods.

• Yes, these are all possible with the Evercam platform. Quality of capture will depend on the camera, settings, the way the capture was done, as well as other variables.

3. The platform must be able to tie every photo and capture onto an uploaded building plan.

• Evercam 360 has the ability to overlay site plans provided by the customer to the mini map feature. This feature shows the path taken during the walk and all the points of capture during the walk. If no plan is provided, we feature the Google map.

4. The platform should allow for comments and additional photo evidence to be attached onto the 360 Capture.

• Evercam 360 has a tagging feature which allows users to leave comments. We also have an Edit feature that allows marking-up of images within the walk.

• Our Mobile Capture app allows users to take other photos or still images during the walk as well as voice notes that can be attached to the 360.

5. External parties (e.g. BCA inspectors) must be able to access the 360 Capture.

• Customers can give unlimited access to their project in the Evercam platform. Once a user has access to a project, they will also have access to the 360 viewer.

6. For the purpose of TOP/CSC inspection, BCA inspectors must be able to tag comments on the 360 Capture.

• Any user of the Evercam platform can use the tagging feature within 360 view.

7. QPs must be able to attach evidence of compliance (e.g. photo, video etc) to show the rectification of BCA comments

• Images (and videos) can be downloaded from and uploaded to the Evercam platform.

8. Users must be able to generate a report on all the comments to facilitate proper documentation.

   • Yes, we can and we will build it.
