# Camera Usage

NavQPlus models typically ship with one Omnivision camera module which is either from Innowave or Google Coral Camera. 3rd parties may also have other cameras. An additional camera can also be added to the second MIPI port.  Note that other USB or Ethernet cameras can also supply image data to the NavQPlus.\

Please refer to NXP.com documentation for i.MX 8M Plus for details on camera usage in LInux.<br>

## Video example using gstreamer

To take an image using an attached MIPI camera module on NavQPlus, use the `gstreamer` command. An example command is as follows:

```
sudo gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video3 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=capture1.jpeg
```

## 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://nxp.gitbook.io/navqplus/navqplus-user-guide/quickstart/taking-an-image-from-the-camera.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.
