The integration of USB Video Class (UVC) cameras is easy and straightforward.

1. Connect the camera to one of the USB ports (J8 or J9) present on the back side of Skynode using the SKND USB ADAPTER cable.

2. Connect Skynode to AMC and power it up. When connected, go to AMC and chose "Fly".\
   The camera should automatically be recognized and activated. You should be able to see the live image in the bottom left corner of your AMC interface (Video Panel).\
   By clicking on the video image you can swap the map with the video panel and vice versa.
