# Other IP Cameras

This article describes how to set up and config Other IP Cameras with XBLink

The Other IP cameras which cadn communicate with XBLink via ethernet protocol to stream video.

## Hardware Setup

We support 2 methods to connect it to XBLink as below

**Method 1**:  Connect to ETH0 port's XBLink.

**Method 2**: Using [USB to Ethernet Adapter](/xblink-5g-discontinued/user-manual/getting-started/overview.md#other-not-include)[r](/xblink-plus-discontinued/user-manual/getting-started/overview.md#other-not-include). (In case ETH0 port of XBLink is occupied)

### Method 1:  Connect to ETH0 port's XBLink&#x20;

The simplest way to connect a IP Camera to XBLink is to use it's ETH0 port. You just need to plug in the wire according to the instructions below.

Finally, power up XBLink and a IP Camera.

Note: ETH port is ETH0 of XBLink Plus
{% endhint %}

### Method 2: Using USBtoETH Adapter

If you are intending to use both [the remote control](/xblink-plus-discontinued/user-manual/advanced-configuration/remote-controller.md) and a IP Camera, we recommend that you use the [USB to Ethernet Adapter](/xblink-5g-discontinued/user-manual/getting-started/overview.md#other-not-include) to connect to the USB port of the XBLink

You can connect IP Camera to USB port of XBLink Plus via [USB to Ethernet Adapter](/xblink-5g-discontinued/user-manual/getting-started/overview.md#other-not-include) as below

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FDgYBMRlKNqViW2SB93gF%2F18.png?alt=media&amp;token=7a573523-35a5-4ef9-8126-b50f6d20df41" alt="" width="226"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: USB port is ETH1 of XBLink Plus
{% endhint %}

Finally, power up XBLink and a IP Camera.

## Configuration <a href="#camera-setting" id="camera-setting"></a>

### XBStationPilotApp&#x20;

If you are using ETH0 Port's XBLink (**method 1**), please open XBStationPilotApp and configure as below:

1. Internet connection: **TCP**
2. Video Port: **5601**
3. Video Source: Other IP CAM
4. Ethernet: **eth0**
5. Ip Address: **Please fill out your IP address Camera (from document of IP Camera)**
6. Pipeline: **Please fill out your Pipeline Camera (from document of IP Camera)**

{% hint style="info" %}
The address format should be rtsp\://*\<camera-ip-address>/\<video-format>*

Example with ZR10:

* Ip Address: 192.168.144.25
* Pipeline: rtsp\://192.168.144.25:8554/main.264
  {% endhint %}

7. **TURN ON**.

In case that you using USB Port( ETH1) to connect IP Camera (**method 2**), just change Ethernet section to **eth1**

#### Mission Planner

1. At the Video HUD area, Right Click -> Video -> GStreamer Stop as below instruction

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FQAmOfHvNmdWBlRtz8O0w%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=bb4a609a-c0f3-44d2-8c77-3ffe47fbb173" alt="" width="528"><figcaption><p>GStreamer Stop</p></figcaption></figure>

2. At the Video HUD area, Right Click -> Video -> Set GStreamer source -> input GStreamer URL:

**`udpsrc port=5601 caps = "application/x-rtp, media=video, clock-rate=90000, encoding-name=H264, payload=96" ! rtpjitterbuffer ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=BGRA ! appsink name=outsink`**

```
udpsrc port=5601 caps = "application/x-rtp, media=video, clock-rate=90000, encoding-name=H264, payload=96" ! rtpjitterbuffer ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=BGRA ! appsink name=outsink
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE: udpsrc port=560x must be the same as PilotApp**

**NOTE:** The GStreamer URL just need to input at the first time, Mission Planner will auto save this params, the next run with Mission Planner, you just **Right Click -> Video -> Set GStreamer source -> and click OK to use video streaming**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE:** Download and install the plugin (domestic environment download is slow, if it fails, please restart the Mission Planner ground station and try again)
{% endhint %}
