How to Capture 360 Photos in the Albi Mobile App (Standard and Time Shift Capture)

Learn how to capture 360 images using the mobile app, including using the live preview, taking photos, and using Time Shift Capture to remove yourself from images.

Where to Find the 360 Camera in the App

  1. Open the mobile app
  2. Open a project
  3. At the bottom of the screen click the camera icon , tap 360

If enabled, you’ll see the 360 camera option available for that project.

 

How the Camera Connection Works

The 360 camera creates its own Wi-Fi network.

When connecting:

  • Your phone temporarily disconnects from your regular Wi-Fi
  • Your device switches to the camera’s Wi-Fi network
  • Cellular data may be used during this time

This is expected behavior.

 

Connecting to the 360 Camera

  1. Turn on your 360 camera
  2. In the app, tap 360
  3. Tap Scan to find nearby cameras
  4. Select your camera from the list
  5. When prompted, tap Join to connect to the camera’s Wi-Fi network or Go to your device wifi settings to connect the camera

Once connected, you’ll see a live preview from the camera.

 

Live Camera View

After connecting, the app displays a live panoramic view.

You can:

  • Pan around the room
  • Look up, down, and side to side
  • Confirm camera positioning before capturing

 

Taking a Standard 360 Photo

  1. Position the camera
  2. Tap the Capture button
  3. The camera takes a 360 photo
  4. The image is automatically transferred to your device

You can immediately preview the image in the built-in viewer.

 

Viewing a 360 Photo on Mobile

After capture, you can:

  • Swipe to look around the image
  • Enable Auto Rotate to slowly pan the view
  • Use Motion View to pan by moving your phone
  • Delete the image if needed

 

Time Shift Capture (Remove Yourself From Photos)

Time Shift Capture helps remove the person taking the photo.

How It Works

  • The camera takes two photos
  • One from the front lens
  • One from the rear lens
  • The images are stitched together so you’re not visible

How to Use Time Shift Capture

  1. Open Camera Settings
  2. Turn on Time Shift Capture
  3. Set:
    • Delay before first photo (e.g., 5 seconds)
    • Delay before second photo (e.g., 5 seconds)

      4.  Choose which lens captures first

      5.  Tap Apply


When you capture:

  • Move out of view between shots
  • The final image removes you automatically
