What Is the Camera-Bridge Service?
The Camera-Bridge is a lightweight Windows service that handles the connection between your 360° camera and RoadScope. It manages frame capture, GPS timestamping, and upload to your project.
System Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
- USB 3.0 port for camera connection
- Active internet connection (for upload)
- RoadScope account with 360° Street View enabled
Installation
1. Download the Camera-Bridge installer from your RoadScope account under **Settings > Hardware Integrations**
2. Run the installer as Administrator
3. Enter your RoadScope API key when prompted
4. The service installs and starts automatically
Configuring Capture Settings
Open the Camera-Bridge configuration panel from the system tray icon:
- **Capture interval** — Frames per second or meters between captures (recommended: 5m intervals)
- **Camera model** — Select your connected camera for optimal settings
- **GPS source** — Use camera GPS (if available) or Windows GPS device
Testing the Connection
With the camera connected and service running, open RoadScope in your browser. Navigate to a project and look for the Camera-Bridge status indicator — green means ready to capture.
