# 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](/rover/theory-and-workflow/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;       |
