Hello, we want to use an external bluetooth-enabled camera to capture images for a pipeline material inspection survey. I would like to know if Survey123 can use an external camera (one like this) to take the pictures.
A previous post from 2017 suggested that Esri is working on this feature but I cannot find any indication if this was implemented. If Survey123 does not support this feature, does Field Maps support it?
Thanks!

No, I don't believe so. You need to switch apps then upload from your gallery.
Field maps has a setting to use the in app camera to avoid issues with some device camera apps.
Suggest creating an ArcGIS Idea.

Thanks for confirming that @ChristopherCounsell
Using an external camera to capture photos in ArcGIS Survey123 can improve image quality and streamline field data collection webcam online testen, especially when higher-resolution or specialized photography is required. By configuring your device settings and ensuring proper permissions, Survey123 can trigger the external camera app instead of the default in-app camera.
