# Initial Camera Setup

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before adding a new camera to Spatial Explorer, make sure your **license key** supports the new configurations. \
\
Furthermore, if the **mechanical setup** of the system changed (cameras were remounted etc.), the entire system will need a **boresight flight for calibration**. Refer to [Boresighting Flight Strategy](/data-acquisition-and-uav-piloting/boresighting-flight-strategy.md) for more info on boresight flights.
{% endhint %}

To add a A6K-Lite camera to Spatial Explorer, you can do so under **Settings → Rover → Add Sensor → Add Camera** and then selecting the camera type **Sony A6000 Lite**. It will then be listed as CAM0.

Under the Acquisition section of the rover settings menu, add the following information for **Event Pin and String Trigger / Maintenance**:

| Setting                          | Value            |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| **Event Pin**                    | Set to Primary 1 |
| **String Trigger / Maintenance** | pin1shi50;       |

## 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.phoenixlidar.com/hardware-and-interfaces/camera/a6k-lite-camera/operating-with-spatial-explorer/initial-camera-setup.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.
