Real-estate installs are temporary and frequent, so the goal is a 10-minute repeatable setup: place, aim, focus, timer, done. Here is the field routine that works house after house.
Scout on arrival
Note the best facade or window panel, the curb view, and any streetlight or neighbour window to avoid. Thirty seconds of scouting prevents a bad aim.
Place and power
Set the rechargeable unit on a stable surface or small tripod at the right height. No mains hunt — this is why rechargeable wins for agents.
Aim and focus
Aim near-perpendicular to the panel, focus at the installed distance, and keep the beam property-only. Lock it so wind or bumps cannot drift it.
Timer for dusk
Set a timer for the golden-hour-to-night window so the mark appears automatically and you are not on site flipping switches.
Pack and log
After the event, pack the disc in its case and note the setup (height, disc, time) so the next listing is a copy-paste.
Repeatable routine
Every listing:
- Scout facade/window and avoid glare.
- Place rechargeable unit, stable.
- Aim perpendicular, focus, lock.
- Set dusk timer.
- Pack disc, log setup.
Common questions
How fast can I set up at a listing?
About 10 minutes: scout, place the rechargeable unit, aim and focus, set the dusk timer.
Do I need power at the house?
No — a rechargeable unit removes the mains hunt, which is why it suits agents.
How do I avoid neighbour glare?
Scout on arrival, keep the beam property-only and low, and never aim at neighbouring windows.
Why a timer?
It auto-runs the dusk-to-night window so you are not on site flipping switches during the open house.
How make it repeatable?
Log height, disc and time per listing; the next setup becomes a copy-paste.
What fails most in the field?
Unsecured units drifting in wind and dead batteries — both fixed by locking the unit and carrying a charged spare.
