The white cable coming out the back of the camera provides both power and a 2-way data connection between the camera and the Phantom's central control board. This data cable allows the camera to get flight telemetry - which it sends to your phone app via Wi-Fi. It also lets your phone app upload a limited set of flight commands to the camera via Wi-Fi (yaw accelerometer control and GS mission programming) - which the camera then sends to the flight controller via the data cable.J.James said:ha ha no I dint mean how does the app work or how to use it. I was more wondering HOW is the wifi camera app able to control the flight controls to be able to tell it were to fly? Does it some how need to have a 5.8ghx wifi connection and mimic the transmitters signals?
The Vision and Vision+ use the camera's Wi-Fi connection for 2-way data between phone and aircraft. The separate iPad Ground Station app - for non-Vision 2.4GHz control aircraft - requires separate Bluetooth link hardware, since those models don't have built-in Wi-Fi.
