+# Cameras
+
+To add a camera to your vehicle, add the following json to the "Cameras" map in your `settings.json`:

+```
+"Camera1": {
+ "CaptureSettings": [{
+ "ImageType": 0,
+ "Width": 785,
+ "Height": 785,
+ "FOV_Degrees": 90

+ "Y": 0.06,
+ "Z": -2.20,
+ "Pitch": 0.0,
+ "Roll": 0.0,
+ "Yaw": 180
+}
+```
+
+`Camera1` is the name of the camera. This name will be used in ros topics and in coordinate frame.
+
+`X`, `Y` and `Z` are the position of the lidar relative the [vehicle pawn center](vehicle_model.md) of the car in NED frame.
+
+`Roll`,`Pitch` and `Yaw` are rotations in degrees.
+
+`ImageType` describes the type of camera. 
+At this moment only rgb and depth cameras are supported.
+For rgb camera, set this value to 0 and for depth camera set the value to 2.
+Using depth camera (DepthPerspective) you get depth using a projection ray that hits that pixel.
+
+RGB images published in ros are encoded using `bgr8`, depth images published in ROS are encoded in `32FC1`.
+
+`FOV_Degrees` describes [how much the camera sees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view).
+The vertical FoV will be automatically calculated using the following formula: `vertical FoV = image height / image width * horizontal FoV`.
