360° construction site documentation at the touch of a button
Neue Kamera-Integration macht die Baudokumentation schneller, präziser und einfacher denn je
With the new 360° camera integration, docu tools opens up a new dimension in digital construction site documentation. Instead of taking hundreds of individual images, a single click will suffice to capture an entire room – quickly, completely and directly located in the plan. The solution was developed in collaboration with customers from the field and combines state-of-the-art camera technology with the intuitive handling that characterises docu tools.
Eine Aufnahme. Ein kompletter Raum.
Previously, rooms had to be photographed from multiple angles, files had to be saved and manually imported into systems. With the integration of the Insta360 X5, this effort is no longer necessary: the camera is directly connected to the docu tools app, automatically transfers new images and assigns them to the appropriate pins on the digital plan – precisely, time-saving and without manual reworking. ‘Our customers don’t want complicated and overpriced systems, they want tools that make their everyday lives easier. That’s exactly what we’ve implemented,’ explains CEO Maximilian Allmayer-Beck.
Stable. Precise. Practical.
Robustness is crucial for everyday use on construction sites. The camera is attached via a sturdy helmet mount, ensuring shake-free recordings even when in motion. Thanks to AI noise reduction and extended dynamic range, it delivers razor-sharp images even in low light conditions. In addition to the X5, docu tools also supports the Insta360 X4 and X3 models to enable maximum hardware flexibility. ‘The combination of powerful hardware and seamless integration was crucial for us. The Insta360 models meet exactly the requirements that matter on a real construction site,’ adds CTO Alexander Partsch.
One click is all it takes to take a 360° photo, which is automatically saved in the appropriate pin and, after synchronisation, is also available in the cloud. This makes it easy to compare progress, changes in the room are visible at a glance, and traceability is significantly increased. The result: a better overview, greater transparency and less effort in daily documentation.
Simple, quick and ready to use immediately
Instead of relying on complex specialised solutions, docu tools pursues a clear approach – simple, affordable and practical. Integration works without additional training, compressed image data is transferred in a matter of seconds, and a single image per room is sufficient. The feature is currently available for iOS, with Android to follow by the end of the year. ‘We don’t develop from our desks, but together with our customers. The 360° integration is a direct result of this collaboration,’ emphasises Allmayer-Beck.
Vom Kundenwunsch zur marktreifen Lösung
The idea for 360° documentation came directly from construction sites: many customers wanted simpler, faster and, at the same time, more comprehensive documentation. docu tools took note of this need, tested it together with pilot customers and developed it step by step into a market-ready solution. Further functions are already planned for 2026 – including a split view for direct comparison of two 360° photos, for example to analyse progress over several months, and a data protection-compliant face blur function that automatically obscures people’s faces.
‘The best ideas don’t come from meeting rooms, but from construction sites. Our customers know exactly where the daily challenges lie – we listen to them and implement their ideas consistently,’ says Allmayer-Beck. With its new 360° integration, docu tools brings more speed, precision and clarity to construction documentation. One click – and you have a view of the entire room. Less effort, more clarity and documentation that works immediately – in line with the docu tools principle: Everything according to plan. Everything under control.
Fazit: 360°-Fotos für volle Übersicht
With its new 360° integration, docu tools brings greater speed, precision and traceability to construction site documentation.
One click is all it takes to see the entire room at a glance. The new feature is available as an optional add-on for our Combo and Multi-Tool.
