Camera does not start scanning when I tell it to. I keep getting unknown error messages. I keep losing connection. You name it, it's going wrong today. Called matterport support. Which was pretty useless. Anybody else having issues scanning? Connectivity to camera?

Have you tried:

1. Leaving your camera off for 1 minute before restarting?
2. Leaving your iPad off for 1 minute before restarting?

If you have tried the above without success, please describe the space around you?

(I wonder if you move 100 yards away, if you have the same problem.)

So I actually just changed batteries and I'm having much better luck. I did try all you mentioned. Tried all the normal tricks. But who would have thought a battery change would help alleviate what I'm dealing with? Crazy

Are you in an area with a lot of WiFi networks (I.e. like a condo building)?

I had something similar happen during a scan in a WiFi-rich building

Also, perhaps the battery change allowed all components to lose all residual charge, possibly resetting everything?? Simply turning it off may not quite accomplish that. (Modem restart by unplugging vs. a power button). Possible I don't know what the heck I'm talking about, but that seems like an explanation.

I was in a townhome complex, so not a ton of Wi-Fi interference. Nothing more than normal on a lot of these jobs. This was the first time my Pro 3 had ever acted that way. My Pro two did that all the time.

Well, it is happening again. Twice in a day. Totally different location. Now after a successful scan, the scan button will be grayed out and will not come back to life. Ready to take the next scan. I have had to reboot multiple times again. Maybe my camera is going on the fritz

Well just an update...this issue occurred again this morning. I immediately did the same thing...swap batteries. Boom...worked perfect. I think I have a bad battery in my arsenal. Only thing that makes sense. Maybe it's not giving off the proper power??? Who knows.
