Set up and connect your Insta360 Pro 2 360° camera with the JobWalk app
Only when the camera is connected via the internal Wi-Fi Network of the Insta360 Pro 2 camera, you can use your smartphone with the JobWalk App to capture images on-site and place them directly on a sheet.
Connecting from within the JobWalk app (recommended process)
Start the JobWalk App and download/update an existing project or create a new project. Add a new floor plan/sheet or select an existing sheet of the project. Tab on the sheet to place the first image. Follow the instructions below or on the app screen for setting up the corresponding camera connection for your Insta360 Pro 2.
Connecting before starting the JobWalk app
Alternatively, it is also possible to first establish the connection of your mobile device with the camera and open the JobWalk app in a second step. This way you can directly start capturing on your project. Simply follow the steps below for connecting to the Insta360 Pro 2.
When editing an existing project, please make sure to have your Sphere XG/HoloBuilder project downloaded/updated before connecting to the camera.

Make sure the camera and phone are fully charged before going on-site to avoid any bad surprises during the job walk creation process. You can see an indication whether the battery level on the Insta360 Pro 2 camera is low on the display at the front of the camera. The Insta360 Pro 2’s battery can be used for about 50 minutes when fully charged. You can prepare several spare batteriesto exchange if necessary.
