How Insta360 and Proptech Labs Are Revolutionizing Property Management

Creating detailed inspections is one of the largest pain points in property management. Mapping an entire property requires taking photos from all angles. On average, this takes property managers two hours per inspection—but with Insta360 360° camera technology and Proptech Labs' AI-powered software, inspections can be completed faster without compromising on quality.

How Shooting in 360° Changes the Game

The purpose of inspections is to minimize rental and sale disputes in the pre-lease, mid-tenancy, and post-vacation phases of property management. This means multiple visits are often required, and hundreds of photos must be taken each time, which are then sorted by time and location. If even one small part of the property isn't fully documented, a complete reshoot is required.

Insta360's camera technology can shorten this whole process to as little as 15 minutes by producing full 360°, 72MP images rather than separate images, which must later be combined. These can even be enhanced with the HDR mode and the PureShot algorithm to reduce noise and increase sharpness, contrast, and detail in low-light environments.

AI-Enhanced Inspection Workflows

Once the footage is collected, it is then embedded into a comprehensive inspection report. This process used to take almost as long as the inspection itself, as property managers would have to manually sort through hundreds of pictures and arrange them in a cohesive order while noting the time, location, and condition of each individual image. Now, the 360° footage can be uploaded into Proptech Lab's AI platform, which automatically converts the data into an immersive layout of the property.

The collation process is streamlined even further by the in-built Automated Comments and Asset Detection features. The AI then generates reports, provides detailed insights and, on repeat visits, detects changes. Not only does this remove the busywork from the process, it ensures that a property is consistently and accurately inspected.

These benefits are then passed on to clients via the Virtual Tour feature, available in the upgraded bundle. Rather than have to sift through individual images and piece together the property in their mind, prospective tenants and buyers can get a thorough view without needing an in-person visit. In this mode, blurring algorithms are applied to the 360° imagery to protect the current tenant's privacy.
