Before you can start capturing images with your Ricoh Theta SC2 for Business, the 360° camera needs to be connected to your mobile device:

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. Tap 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 Ricoh Theta SC2 for Business.

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 Ricoh Theta SC2 for Business.

When editing an existing project, please make sure to have your Sphere XG/HoloBuilder project downloaded/updated before connecting to the camera.

Only once the camera is connected via the internal Wi-Fi Network of the Theta SC2  for Business camera, you can use your smartphone with the JobWalk app to capture images on-site and place them directly on a sheet.
