# Other IP Cameras

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 1: Connect to ETH0 port's XBLink

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.

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FrDB9G4voffKNsHyT7KKF%2FUntitled%20Diagram8.drawio.png?alt=media&#x26;token=405dd93d-9033-4b24-b453-7054f373d6ff" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Finally, power up XBLink and a IP Camera.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: ETH port is ETH0 of XBLink 5G R2
{% endhint %}

### Method 2: Using USB to ETH Adapter

If you are intending to use both [the remote control](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g-r2/user-manual/advanced-configuration/remote-controller) and a IP Camera, we recommend that you use the [USB to Ethernet Adapter](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g-r2/getting-started/overview#other-not-include) to connect to the USB port of the XBLink

You can connect IP Camera to USB port of XBLink Plus R2 via [USB to Ethernet Adapter](https://docs.xbstation.com/xblink-5g-r2/getting-started/overview#other-not-include) as below

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: USB port is ETH1 of XBLink 5G R2
{% endhint %}

Finally, power up XBLink and a IP Camera.

### XBStationPilotApp

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 (find from your document of IP Camera)**
6. Pipeline: **Please fill out your Pipeline Camera (find from your 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**.

#### 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&#x26;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 %}
