360 site capture
360 camera for construction: one walk, a dated record of the whole site
A 360 construction camera records every direction at once as a person walks the site, so one walk becomes a dated record of each room and level. Regulators now use that record. Singapore's BCA accepts a 360 capture in place of a physical TOP inspection, Japan's MLIT names 360-degree cameras for remote works inspection, and Hong Kong requires cameras on public works site inspections. Kodifly's SpatialSense turns the walk into that record, with the Insta360 X4, X5 and X6 and the DJI Osmo 360 on a helmet mount.

What regulators and public clients require or accept
Published positions we have read in the official documents, as at November 2026. The full list, with every document named, is in the requirements by country guide.
| Market | Who | What the published document says |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore | BCA | A 360 capture is accepted in place of a physical TOP/CSC inspection, or as part of a hybrid one. The camera supports at least 6K with dual one-inch sensors |
| Hong Kong | DEVB | Frontline site staff wear body-worn video cameras on public works site inspections. Contract specifications set 1080p at 30 fps and allow a helmet-integrated camera |
| Japan | MLIT | Remote attendance by video applies in principle to all works with eligible work types. The 2024 inspection guideline names wearable and 360-degree cameras |
| New Zealand | MBIE | Remote inspection guidance for building consent authorities names 360 reality capture and 360 cameras on a builder's hard hat. Optional |
| Dubai | Dubai Municipality | At least 4 surveillance cameras covering the project for buildings above ground plus three floors, linked to a visual system used by the site engineer |
| Qatar | Ashghal | Project specifications require a photographic and video record of progress every month |
| Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand | Project owners | No published government requirement found. The client's specification sets it |
A requirement is listed only where we read the document or the issuing body's own account of it. Check the current version before you rely on it.
From first walk to signed-off record.
Plan the routes
Floor plans loaded, zones and walk routes set.
Walk with the helmet
One pass per level at walking pace.
AI reads the walk
Frames placed on the plan, objects and change tagged.
Review and report
Issues assigned, progress scored, the report drafted.
Inspection
The regulator reviews the same view you do.
For a virtual inspection the authority opens the capture from a link, tags its comments in place and closes each one against your photo of the rectification. The same walks then serve progress, defects and handover.

360 construction camera questions
What is a 360 camera used for on a construction site?
It records every direction at once while a person walks the site. The walk becomes a dated record on the floor plan, used for progress monitoring, quality and defect inspection, remote supervision, regulator inspection and handover evidence.
Is a 360 camera required on construction sites?
It depends on the market. Singapore's BCA accepts a 360 capture in place of a physical TOP or CSC inspection and sets the camera's minimum performance. Hong Kong requires cameras worn on public works site inspections. Japan's MLIT applies remote attendance by video in principle to eligible public works. In the Gulf and most of Southeast Asia the client's specification sets it.
What resolution should a 360 construction camera have?
BCA's Guidebook for Virtual TOP/CSC (360 Capture) sets at least 6K with dual one-inch CMOS sensors, the strictest published figure we have found. The cameras SpatialSense works with, the Insta360 X4, X5 and X6 and the DJI Osmo 360, all record 8K. The X6 and Osmo 360 have the larger 1/1.1-inch sensors, the closest to BCA's one-inch figure.
How often should a site be captured?
Weekly or fortnightly walks suit most building work, with an extra walk before anything is covered, such as rebar before a pour or services before a ceiling closes. Regulator captures follow the authority's plan. In Singapore the capture is no more than three months old at submission.
Which 360 cameras does SpatialSense work with?
The Insta360 X4, X5 and X6 and the DJI Osmo 360, on a helmet mount, a monopod or a tripod. Kodifly builds the software. SpatialSense places each walk on the plan, compares dates, tags change and drafts the reports, so your team can keep the camera it already uses.
Can the 360 record be compared with the BIM model?
Yes. SpatialSense lays the 360 view next to the BIM view of the same position, and compares the same spot on two dates to list what changed.
Where does Kodifly deliver 360 capture?
Across Asia and the Middle East, with entities in Hong Kong, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. The Singapore entity serves Southeast Asia and the Saudi entity serves the Kingdom and the wider Gulf.
