The following describes how to set up the USB camera in `lineSensor` mode.
{% endhint %}

To work with the USB camera, you must change the path to the script in the `system-config.xml` file on the TRIK controller.

This can be done with either of the two utilities:

1. [PuTTY](/en/trik/work-with-devices/usb-camera.md#putty).
2. [WinSCP](/en/trik/work-with-devices/usb-camera.md#winscp).

## **PuTTy**

1\. [Connect](/en/trik/wi-fi/network-connection.md) to the controller using "Wi-Fi Access Point" or "Wi-Fi Client" mode.

2\. Open [TRIK Studio](https://trikset.com/products/trik-studio).

3\. Launch the PuTTY utility. To do this, from the main menu, open `Tools → External tools → PuTTY`.

* **Host name —** [IP address of the controller](/en/trik/wi-fi/network-connection.md).
* **User name:** root.

Leave the "Password" field blank.
