Abstract: A computerised method of automatically acquiring a series of images, the method comprising the steps of: i) processing a data file containing a series of identifiers, each identifier corresponding to a geographic location of a property; ii) receiving location data from a geographic position sensing unit; iii) defining a camera search area (830) defined by the location data and a location of a camera relative to the location data; and iv) acquiring an image of a property when a geographic location (810a) of a property corresponding to one of the series of identifiers is within the camera search area (830).
