Hi All, I have an IP camera connected to my Herelink air unit over ethernet. I am able to view the video on the Herelink in QGC. I would like to share this video with a PC over the WiFi AP. Is that possible? I know it is possible to share the HDMI video that the Herelink air unit encodes. However, when I try to access the RTSP stream from my IP camera over the AP, there is no connection. I suspect the re-broadcasting/re-encoding function built into the herelink only works with the native video streams. Does anyone know if this is true? Can anyone shed light on how the Herelink is re-broadcasting the HDMI encoded video? ---

Hi there, Although I am not sure about how to answer your question, I was hoping you could tell me how you configured the IP camera to be viewed in QGC. Could you give me the information about how you did this? I want to do the same thing but I had a hard time finding the right information. I also want to know the answer to your original question too. Thanks in advance. ---

Hey @DroneWrangler, Just curious if you saw my last message. How did you set things up to see the IP video on the Herelink in QGC? ---

Sure thing. I do not wish to derail this thread so I started another with the instructions: > [@How to use an IP Camera over Herelink](https://discuss.cubepilot.org/t/how-to-use-an-ip-camera-over-herelink/12641): > > Hi All, In response to a question on another thread, here are some quick instructions for how to use an IP camera with a Herelink. Set the IP address of the camera to be in the 192.168.144.0/24 range Open the Application Settings in QGC on the Herelink – Scroll to the Video Setting section – Change video source to one compatible with your camera (RTSP, UDP H264, etc) – Enter the details for your camera (Keep file format and video decode priority at defaults) Close settings ---

To update this topic, I have not yet found a way to bridge the IP camera to the WiFi sharing. My next step will be to research how the existing video sharing works. Depending on the method chosen, we may be able to re-purpose or replicate it. Edit: The post below explains one possible way to do it. I can’t set static routes on the camera but can on the GCS computer. That might be enough for the RTSP to route correctly. I’ll give it a try tomorrow. > [@Ethernet on the Herelink 1.1](https://discuss.cubepilot.org/t/ethernet-on-the-herelink-1-1/9766/4): > > i have not tested but laptop needs a static route to 192.168.144.0/24 via 192.168.43.1 companion computer needs a static route for 192.168.43.0/24 via 192.168.144.11 192.168.0.0/24 is an internal network, and i wouldn’t complicate that at this point you can get rtsp video from 192.168.43.1 or 192.168.144.11 and mavlink from 192.168.43.1 or 192.168.144.11 port 14552 side note, you might not need to do anything on the laptop side, as it will likely be the default gateway… assuming you on…
