Laser surveying is one of the most powerful features of the Horus RTK Receiver. By combining a laser module, visual camera, and IMU technology, Horus allows surveyors to measure points remotely without physically occupying the target location.

With the latest P2 function upgrade update, SingularXYZ has introduced a new standalone geo-fencing function, allowing users to configure boundaries and receive alerts directly on the receiver without relying on a cloud platform. Together with the existing SingularThings cloud-based geo-fencing solution, users can now choose the deployment method that best suits their project requirements.

Visual surveying is an emerging measurement method that combines GNSS positioning with image-based point extraction, providing a more flexible workflow for complex surveying scenarios. Compared with traditional point-by-point measurements, visual surveying offers several practical advantages:

In surveying and RTK operations, keeping a detailed record of field measurements is essential for project review, troubleshooting, and post-processing. SingularPad automatically generates two types of project-specific files—RAW and RW5—that capture different levels of measurement and operational information. Understanding the content and purpose of these files, and knowing how to export them, can help you verify fieldwork, ensure data integrity, and support troubleshooting when needed.

When using RTK receivers in the field, some users—especially in radio base mode—may notice that the battery drains faster than expected.

In laser surveying, users rely on the laser to accurately aim at the target point. While some RTK receivers support camera-assisted aiming to help identify and confirm the target—especially at longer distances—maintaining stable alignment still depends on how steadily the pole is held.
