About z360 Property Inspection
Single-Tap 360 Property Inspection!
With a compatible 360 camera, you can capture a 360-degree panoramic image covering every surface of a room within view, with full pan and zoom capabilities, in one tap.
Simply open the zInspector 3 app, place the tripod-mounted camera in the middle of the room, move out of the camera’s line of sight (so you aren’t shown in the photo), tap the 360 button in the zInspector 3 app to take the photo, and you’re done—with every surface captured!
This feature is only supported for Group and higher plans.
You will capture more visual information than ever, in a fraction of the time. With a little practice, property managers can capture every surface in a 3000-ft² home in <10 min.
Purchase a Camera
Recommended Cameras
- V–Best: improved for low-light environments. Theta V <$400
- SC2–Great: newest version. Supports orientation detection. Great choice! Theta SC2 <$300
- Z1–Premium: higher quality, so files load more slowly. Typically not necessary for property management needs. Theta Z1 <$1,000
Older Cameras (Not Recommended)
These cameras are no longer updated, supported, and/or recommended on up-to-date mobile operating systems. Some may work unreliably–others not at all.
- S–Mid-range / older version: NOT RECOMMENDED. No longer receiving firmware updates; not supported in iOS 14, released October 2020. Theta S <$275. Recommended alternative: SC2.
- SC–Lower-cost: NOT RECOMMENDED. Firmware updating is critical. Poor reliability; not supported in iOS 14, released October 2020. Theta SC <$180. Recommended alternative: SC2.
- Other models–no compatibility. The Ricoh M15 series and other older camera models do not have current API support that allows for integration with the zInspector 3 app.
Tripod Recommendation
- Collapsing 3′ Tripod. Great for phone-video recordings too. Tripod
- Note: some users prefer taller tripods which enable single shots over counter height. We find that the 3′ tripod is stable, works great, collapses to ~1′ and can be placed on top of counters.

Note: The following video features an obsolete zInspector app. The current zInspector 3 app supports the same functionality and works with your compatible camera even better!
