# Power

Your camera and flight computer should have power sources that meet the specs provided by the manufacturers. 

Cyclops requires a data connection between the camera and the flight computer. If you are using a **digital video camera** powered via USB-C or a similar cable, one cable can typically handle both the power and data connections.

If you are using an **analog video camera** (i.e. Runcam or other common FPV cameras), you will need an **analog to digital converter**. These modules are usually powered via USB and have low voltage limitations. If your camera requires a higher voltage power source, be prepared to power it separately.

{% hint style="success" %}
Camera and flight computer have adequate power sources.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure your power supply has adequate current.\
Powering multiple devices (e.g. camera, external SSD) off of USB will draw significant current.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Current draw will increase while device is under load.
{% endhint %}
