## DAQ-A Cable (Type 2): Power to Survey3 Cameras

This cable powers the camera(s) from the DAQ-A. If you are powering the DAQ-A using the micro USB port you can power the cameras using the DAQ-A Type 2 cables. You can choose to remove the camera batteries if desired when external power is provided.
