Can I use my own camera to take pictures for zInspector?

Q: Can I use my own camera to take pictures for zInspector?

You can, but we don't recommend it. Photos taken within zInspector 3 using the app's camera or a compatible 360 camera: receive an unalterable geotag and time/datestamp making it powerful documentation contain special tags that enable quick and powerful searching and reporting enable photo markup directly within the app upload and associate automatically with the correct property and activity on the zInspector website. Photos you take outside of the zInspector app (either with your device's camera app or a digital camera) do none of these things. In special circumstances, you may need to upload photos manually , so we provide a tool for that.
