Performing Property Appraisals is Demanding.

The intersection of ingenuity and practicality

In the 30+ years since its academic beginnings, Cyclomedia has relentlessly pursued a path of focused technology innovation and excellence. New developments in camera technology and innovations with 3D image capture keep the company at the forefront of the fields and in a position to help customers solve business challenges.

Advanced mobile capabilities

Cyclomedia Snapshot enables property appraisal professionals to take real-time pictures of properties with their iOS or Android mobile device. These location-tagged pictures can be instantly uploaded and overlaid onto Cyclomedia ultra-high-resolution 360-degree GeoCyclorama imagery for viewing in the Street Smart™ viewer. Property appraisal professionals will be able to act in near real-time when some aspect of property changes.

Cyclomedia will be the only one-stop street-level imagery solution available to the professional assessment community in the US that offers both 360-degree, ultra-high-resolution imagery with LiDAR and the ability to act quickly in the near term changes through a mobile device.

“Over the past few years, we have heard and read about other industry players driving the false narrative about how they accurately capture the real world through the highest quality street level imagery. Inevitably inside-by-side comparison, they fall woefully short. Now, with Cyclomedia Snapshot™, we are making it easier for our customers to not only get access to the best-in-class street-level imagery but also to have more control as to how they want to capture and share real-time changes across their communities.”

Compliance by design

Cyclomedia imagery meets and exceeds these compliance requirements:

IAAO Compliance; 3.3.5 Requirements, IAAO Mass Appraisal of Real Property standard, revised in 2017.

“Provided that initial physical inspections are timely, completed and that an effective system of building permits or other methods of routinely identifying material changes is in place, jurisdictions may employ a set of digital imaging technology tools to supplement field re-inspections with a computer-assisted office review. 

These imaging tools should include the following:

• Current high-resolution street-view images at a sub-inch pixel resolution that enables quality grade and physical condition to be verified.
• Orthophoto images with a minimum 6” pixel resolution in urban/suburban and 12” resolution in rural areas, updated every 2 years in rapid growth areas, or 6–10 years in slow-growth areas.
• Low-level oblique images capable of being used for measurement verification four cardinal directions with a minimum 6” pixel resolution in urban/suburban and 12” pixel resolution in rural areas, updated every 2 years in rapid growth areas, or 6–10 years in slow-growth areas.”
