What is the R1 Camera?

Updated

Overview

The PLANIX R1 is iGUIDE's all-in-one camera system used to capture 360-degree visuals and lidar measurements for property tours and floor plans. Each unit ships as a complete kit, including the camera body, battery, charging accessories and protective gear, so operators have everything required to start scanning.

This guide outlines what's included with the R1, where to find manuals and tech specs, and answers to common questions about battery handling and the integrated Theta X camera.

Important Notes

  • Always charge the R1 using the original USB-C cable and power supply that came with the camera. Using different cables or power supplies may prevent the battery from charging.
  • Battery Storage & Maintenance: To help maximize battery life and performance, charge all batteries fully upon receipt. If a battery will not be used regularly, we recommend recharging it at least once every 4 months. Batteries stored at very low charge levels for extended periods may become depleted below the safe charging threshold and may no longer be recognized by the charger.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I hot swap the R1 Battery?  
A: While the R1 features a quick-release battery, it cannot be hot-swapped (i.e. replaced while the system is powered on). To change the R1 battery you must turn off the system first before switching the battery. 

Q: Can I use the Theta X on the R1 independently?  
A: For the PLANIX Pro, the Theta Z1 could be detached from the system unit and used as a standalone camera with the Ricoh Theta app. However, with the PLANIX R1, the Theta X is fully integrated into the system. It is neither user-replaceable nor removable. If a replacement is needed, please send the system to us for servicing by opening a support ticket.
