Inventory Hive App Update - 1.18.18: Faster, Simpler 360° Camera Pairing

Inventory Hive has released App Version 1.18.18, introducing a major usability upgrade that simplifies how users connect their 360° cameras when completing inventories and inspections.

Streamlined Camera Connection

Previously, users had to leave the Inventory Hive app and connect their camera via device settings before returning to continue reporting. With App 1.18.18, camera pairing now happens entirely within the app, creating a faster, more seamless workflow and removing unnecessary steps on-site.

Why Use 360° Photos in Reports?

Capturing 360° images brings significant benefits to inventory and inspection reporting:

  • Full room capture – document an entire space in a single image, ideal for before-and-after comparisons

  • Stronger evidence – clearly show item presence, layout, and positioning within a property

  • Better dispute support – provide adjudicators with full context, helping identify issues more accurately

  • Save time on-site – capture the space once and review details later from your desktop

  • Reduce photo overload – cut down on excessive individual images while maintaining clarity

  • Interactive navigation – zoom and explore rooms across desktop, tablet, or mobile devices

360° images work alongside written descriptions and standard photos to create more robust, transparent, and defensible reports, particularly at check-out where evidence is critical.

Available Now

App Version 1.18.18 is now available on iOS and Android. Update today to experience simpler camera pairing and a more efficient approach to capturing 360° property data.
