# Siyi Gimbal Camera

This article describes how to set up and config Siyi Gimbal Cameras with XBLink

The [SIYI ZR10](https://shop.siyi.biz/products/siyi-zr10), [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 ETH1 port's XBLink.

* **Method 2:** Using [USB to Ethernet Adapter](/xblink-duo/user-manual/getting-started/overview.md). (In case ETH1 port of XBLink is occupied)

### Method 1: Connect to ETH1 port's XBLink

The simplest way to connect a Siyi Gimbal Camera to XBLink is to use its ETH1 port. You just need to plug in the wire according to the instructions below.

Finally, power up XBLink and Siyi Gimbal Camera.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**  Always use the SATCOM port for Starlink. You must connect your IP camera to the ETH1 port or use a USBtoEthernet adapter.
{% endhint %}

### Method 2: Using USBtoETH Adapter

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

You can connect Siyi Gimbal Cameras to USB port of XBLink Duo via [USB to Ethernet Adapter](/legacy-products/xblink-plus/user-manual/getting-started/overview.md#other-not-include) as below

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: USB port is ETH2 of XBLink Duo
{% 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

**Note:  Always SATCOM for Starlink, ETH1 or USB (usb to eth) for IP camera**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:  Always SATCOM for Starlink, ETH1 or ETH2 ( usb to eth) for IP camera**
{% endhint %}
