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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.auterion.com/hardware-integration/skynode/peripherals/usb-camera.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
