# Using the Camera Control Laptop

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S6a10bvINBzbWEzvHTPLF24JJ8idTUuP/view?usp=sharing>" %}

If you have purchased a Camera Control Laptop, you can run the CCA3 application for both video and camera control on the Camera Control Laptop. This system comes with a gamepad for camera control and offers a touch-screen for mission planning, UAV control, and camera control.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to ground-test the setup and your DeltaQuad Pro #VIEW has a camera with a thermal sensor, make sure that the camera gets enough cooling through an air stream provided by a small USB fan or something similar.

To use the Camera Control Laptop you will need the following items:

* The DeltaQuad Pro (The vehicle needs to be powered and a connection must be established with the DeltaQuad Controller.)

* An internet connection for both, the DeltaQuad Controller and the Camera Control Laptop

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use the Camera Control Laptop either locally or remotely. When using the laptop on-site, the DeltaQuad controller and the Camera Control Laptop should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Setting up the Camera Control Laptop

* Connect the gamepad to the laptop via the USB connection.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Do not connect the gamepad to the DeltaQuad Controller as this is not supported.

With the DeltaQuad Controller, the operator can control the camera with the left-sided joysticks as described in the manual section [here](https://docs.deltaquad.com/deltaquad-pro-operations-manual-v2/deltaquad-pro-view/controlling-the-camera).
{% endhint %}

* Open and start up the Linux-based laptop.

You have three different options to establish a connection between the DeltaQuad Controller and the Camera Control Laptop:

* [Wi-Fi network connection](/deltaquad-pro-operations-manual-v2/deltaquad-pro-view/using-the-camera-control-laptop/wi-fi-network-connection.md)
* [VPN-based connection](/deltaquad-pro-operations-manual-v2/deltaquad-pro-view/using-the-camera-control-laptop/vpn-based-connection.md)
* [Controller hotspot connection](/deltaquad-pro-operations-manual-v2/deltaquad-pro-view/using-the-camera-control-laptop/controller-hotspot-connection.md)

## Gamepad camera controls
