Control the Parrot Bebop, Bebop2 and Disco cameras via native Parrot IMaging Process(PIMP).

It can trigger photos based on distance, time or circle radius in both fixedwings and rotorcraft. One can start to record onboard videos and start and stop streaming of live video. Show it in your GCS via mplayer plugin or e.g. gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=55004 ! "application/x-rtp, payload=96" ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! autovideosink
