System Overview PLANIX is an iGUIDE camera system designed to simultaneously measure and photograph spaces to create floor plans and iGUIDE 3D virtual tours.

All surveyed data is stored on a user-replaceable USB flash drive. - Page 7 Handling & Care Additional maintenance information is available in the System Maintenance section. Handling the System It is important to handle the PLANIX with care and to avoid storing the camera in extreme heat or cold for extended periods of time.
