If you’re using Record360 for inspections, you want your photos to be clear, detailed, and easy to capture. That’s where the app’s “Native Mode” comes into play. This feature allows you to take inspection photos using the full power of your device’s camera, just like you would with your device’s built-in camera app. This makes the experience feel intuitive and familiar while ensuring your images are top-notch in quality and resolution.
In this blog, we’ll explore why enabling Native Mode can be a game-changer for your inspections, how to turn it on, and some quick tips for optimizing your photo settings for the best results.
What is Native Mode?
When “Native Mode” is enabled in Record360’s photo settings, it taps directly into your device’s camera features. In other words, it uses the same camera capabilities as your device’s camera app. This simple shift can significantly improve the quality of your inspection photos.
Why does this matter? Native Mode ensures you’re capturing the highest-quality photos your device can offer. Instead of relying on default app settings, you’re unlocking the full resolution potential of your camera.
Here’s a breakdown of the resolution you can expect with Native Mode:
- Native Mode Resolution: 4K or 3840 x 2160 pixels
That’s an impressive level of detail. Whether you inspect vehicles, properties, or equipment, this clarity ensures that every scratch, dent, or irregularity is accurately documented.
How to Enable Native Mode in Record360
Enabling Native Mode is quick and easy. Just follow these steps to enhance your photo quality:
- Enter the Reference or Unit Number: In the app, start by entering the required reference or unit number for your inspection.
- Locate the Media Tab: Head to the “Record360” media tab once you’re in. This is where all your inspection photos and videos will be saved.
- Click the Gear Icon: In the screen’s upper-right corner, you’ll see a gear icon. Click this icon to access the settings for your media.
- Toggle Native Mode ON: Simply switch the Native Mode toggle to the ON position.
And that’s it! You’re all set to start taking high-resolution photos for your inspection.
Why Use Native Mode?
The key benefit of Native Mode is image quality. When you’re performing inspections, the details matter. Higher-resolution photos mean sharper images and greater clarity. This is essential for documenting any damage or condition issues that might be hard to capture with lower-quality photos.
For example, you’re inspecting a rental car for damage. With Native Mode enabled, you can capture minute scratches or dents in 4K resolution. These high-definition images provide a more transparent, reliable record that can make all the difference in disputes or damage claims.
Video Settings Resolutions in Record360
It’s not just your photos that can be enhanced with Record360. The app also gives you flexible video recording settings, allowing you to choose the resolution that fits your needs. Here are the available options:
- Med (Medium Resolution): 480 x 640 (Standard Definition)
- High: 720p (Standard HD)
- Very High: 1080p (Full HD)
Depending on your inspection needs, you can toggle between these settings to balance video quality and upload speed.
Optimize Your Inspections with Native Mode
Enabling Native Mode in Record360 is a simple but powerful way to improve your inspection process. Using your device’s full camera capabilities, you’ll capture the highest quality photos possible, providing the clarity and detail necessary for thorough documentation.
