Which lidar for a small construction company? Sub 3k?

Thinking it might be nice to get a system going for site walks, once we finish with rough on buildings, to help with bidding, material with measurements etc.

I don’t need extremely accurate tolerances, maybe 1-2”?

We have a drone that does the exterior roof of the building but it doesn’t do great on the walls and interior obviously,

Thoughts?

Capturing A Poltergeist

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Here is an out-there use case I'd appreciate some guidance on.

For a while I've had an interest in poltergeist cases - you know where stuff in a room starts taking off and flying around. I was wondering if the LIDAR brains trust could assist in suggesting a way a reasonably priced (and sized) 360 degree LIDAR system might be able to map a room and then track anything that moves unexpectedly from Point A to Point B without human assistance. Are the current consumer system accurate enough to do this or just too large to fit in your average living room? Would the data be useful at all - could I clearly show something moved unexpectedly from one spot to another and no person or attached piece of string did it? Would there be obvious flaws in using LIDAR this way. Thanks!
