# Quick tips to maximize daily coverage

### **Before the visit:**

- **Pre-clear access:**
  - Confirm site access, inductions, and escorts in advance.
  - Arrange for keys / access cards and ensure doors are unlocked or can be propped open where allowed.
- **Plan scan segments and loop closures:**
  - Define logical segments (per floor, wing, or building).
  - Plan loop closure paths on a floor plan beforehand.
- **Prepare control points:**
  - Decide in advance where a control point is needed and how it will be measured.
  - Install or mark control points before the scanning day if possible.

### **On the day:**

- **Minimize starts and stops:**
  - Avoid unnecessary pauses while scanning.
  - Group short interruptions together where possible (e.g. housekeeping, quick checks) between scan segments.
- **Standardize procedures:**
  - Use a checklist for each scan segment (control point captured, start/stop points, loop closure path, panorama strategy).
- **Optimize panoramas:**
  - Take panoramas strategically, not at every step.
  - Consider [Continuous Pano Capture Mode](/v1/docs/triggering-the-cameras#continuous-pano-capture-mode) mode when the image quality of the panoramic image is not important.
- **Use multiple devices smartly:**
  - Split areas cleanly between operators to avoid overlap.
  - Share a consistent control framework and naming convention.

### **After the visit:**

- **Review performance data:**
  - Track realized m²/day (ft²/day) and m²/hour (ft²/hour) across projects.
  - Feed this back into your planning assumptions for future jobs.

## **Accuracy vs. speed trade‑off**

- Higher speed is not always better if it compromises:
  - Loop closure quality
  - Coverage completeness (e.g. missing rooms or occluded areas)
  - Alignment to control / coordinate systems
- For high‑accuracy or highly regulated projects, you may:
  - Accept lower m²/hour (ft²/hour)
  - Invest more time in control points, redundant passes, and quality validation.

This should be explicit in your project planning and client communication.
