# What is the difference between using an IP camera with the Alpha and Bravo?

The **Micro IP Camera** (RAC-1000) is standalone and comes with an unterminated whip that can be integrated into the vehicle’s IP system or connected to Reach Control directly through Ethernet. This means the Micro IP Camera can also be used with other manipulators (usually the Reach Alpha series) or as a standalone camera.

The **Bravo IP Wrist Camera** (RB-1057) connects directly to the accessory port on the Bravo, and so the manipulator must be connected over ethernet for the video feed to come through.
