# MavCam for Phase One

## Activation

The MavCam upgrade must be purchased from the [AirPixel website ](https://airpixel.cz/phaseone-p3-herelink-control/)and activated from the HereLink controller that will be used. The purchase must be made through the website before sending the upgrade request and they will ask for your email & order number for confirmation. In MavCam (2.0 or higher) the Phase One P3 upgrade request can be sent through from the [HereLink controller when connected to a Wi-Fi network](https://inspired-flight-technologies-inc.gitbook.io/inspired-documentation/products/aircrafts/if1200a/operating-the-aircraft/wireless-connection-to-ground-station#enable-the-wireless-hotspot-in-the-herelink-controller). When the request is sent, the AirPixel team will approve the IP address for the controller to use the upgrade.
