How RinnoCloud Works: Storage, Remote Access, and Collaboration on Inspection Data
Every 360° manhole inspection produces more than a video. It produces a live GPS position, a stream of raw footage, a 3D point cloud, and a set of measurements someone downstream needs to act on. RinnoCloud is the platform that takes all of that off a memory card and puts it where a whole team can actually use it — in real time, from anywhere.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
A live map of your entire camera fleet
Every RV-MAX 360 unit has an internal GPS and SIM card, and RinnoCloud uses that connection to plot each camera's location on a live map. If you manage a fleet of units across several crews or contractors, you can see at a glance where every camera is right now — no phone calls to the field required.
That same connection lets you push configuration updates to a unit remotely, and pull actionable metrics on how each camera is being used, without anyone touching the hardware.
Livestreaming from anywhere on the planet
A supervisor doesn't need to be standing next to the manhole to see what the operator sees. RinnoCloud streams live 360° video from any RV-MAX 360 in your fleet to any remote location. That has two practical effects:
- Faster decisions in the field. If an operator hits something unexpected — a collapsed section, an unusual blockage — a supervisor or engineer can look at the live feed immediately and advise on the spot, instead of waiting for a report days later.
- Better communication between roles. Operators and supervisors are looking at the same thing at the same time, which cuts down on the back-and-forth that normally happens when someone has to describe what a camera saw.
Automatic, seamless uploads — no manual transfer
This is the part that saves the most time day to day. As soon as an RV-MAX 360 recognizes a known WiFi network — back at the office, at a depot, anywhere with a saved connection — it automatically uploads its videos and 3D point clouds. There's no cable to plug in, no card to pull, no manual file transfer at the end of a shift.
Uploads work with NASSCO-compliant storage as well as non-NASSCO storage, so the platform fits into whatever data management standard your municipality or organization already follows. Paired with RinnoView software, these automatic uploads remove most of the repetitive data-entry and file-transfer work from the process.
From raw video to a usable 3D model
Storage on its own isn't the point — what matters is what you can do with the data once it's there. RinnoCloud converts the 360° video captured in the field into 3D point clouds and models, and from those models you get the actual measurements a report needs: mainline and side pipe diameters, and everything required to complete a Level 2 MACP survey.
In other words, the platform doesn't just archive footage — it turns that footage into the deliverable an inspection program is actually built around.
Why this matters for teams managing multiple sites
For a municipality or a contractor running several crews, the value of RinnoCloud isn't any single feature — it's what happens when fleet tracking, live video, automatic uploads, and 3D modeling sit on the same platform. An engineer can review a completed 3D model, a supervisor can watch a live feed from a different job site, and a fleet manager can see camera locations and status, all without anyone leaving their desk or waiting on a physical handoff of data.
That's the shift RinnoCloud is built around: moving inspection data from something that lives on individual devices and gets manually passed along, to something a whole team can access and act on together, as it's being collected.
