Survey123 support

samanthakonsoer3 — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 19:52:30 GMT

I'm looking to use Survey123 on a project and I have a few detailed questions.

1 - does it support Bluetooth camera and attachments?

2- Can you upload high resolutions photos to a database that is linked to survey123 and view them on survey 123?

Thank you, Samantha

Hi Samantha,

1- You cannot directly connect to a camera via Bluetooth with Survey123; however, if your camera can move the photos to your device, you could then select the photo. We are working on being able to directly connect with devices such as cameras; could you respond with the camera information so we can log it as a connection example?

2- There is a limitation on photo upload to 10 MB; this may or more not meet the requirements of 'high resolution' - this could be in the neighborhood of 75 megapixels for a JPEG, or much less for TIFF or RAW files. The size limit is a limit of how Survey123 handles files, not the ArcGIS platform; we have an outstanding issue to improve this in the future.

@JamesTedrick has there been any updates to this issue? We are trying to use an external bluetooth camera to take pictures for a survey.

Thanks!
