# Siyi Camera Gimbal

The [SIYI ZR10](https://shop.siyi.biz/products/siyi-zr10-gimbal-camera), [ZR30](https://shop.siyi.biz/products/siyi-zr30) and [A8](https://shop.siyi.biz/products/siyi-a8-mini) are IP cameras which can communicate with XBLink via ethernet protocol to stream video.

## Hardware Setup

We support 3 methods to connect it to XBLink as below

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

{% endhint %}

### Method 2: Using USBtoETH 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 Siyi Gimbal Cameras, 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 Siyi Gimbal Cameras to USB port of XBLink 5G 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 Siyi Gimbal Camera.

### Method 3: Using Dual FPV Camera Hub

In case you have Dual FPV Camera Hub of Siyi, you can connect it XBLink following instruction

## Configuration

### XBStationPilotApp

If you are using ETH0 Port's XBLink (**method 1 and 3**), please open XBStationPilotApp and configure as below:

1. Internet connection: **TCP**
2. Video Port: **5601**
3. Video Source: **SIYI**
4. Ethernet: **eth0**
5. IP: **.25**

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FM3paZlazaAwwXtD2NylX%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3b364783-304f-467b-91c7-2a58c07b836b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
