As shown in the following diagram, to add the Vanguard cameras to an existing Valkyrie system:

1. Connect the Vanguard camera switch to the primary switch (which connects directly to the PC) in the existing Vicon system.
2. Connect the camera switch to the PC.
3. Connect the Vicon IR lights to the Vicon Lock, using RCA cables to connect to the GPO ports on the Lock. When the system is live, you can use Vicon Shogun Markerless to configure the lights to set their brightness (see [*Set the brightness of the Vicon IR lights*](https://help.vicon.com/space/markerless/261718324/Set+the+brightness+of+the+Vicon+IR+lights) in *Getting started with your Vicon Markerless system*).
