Learn
The hardware comes pre-installed with firmware, developed using ESP-IDF, and runs a WiFi-camera application. The default program outputs an image size of 600 x 800, which can be optimized to output larger sizes.
How to use this program?
- Turn on your phone's Wi-Fi, scan and connect to the AP hotspot starting with "m5stack-".
- Open your phone's browser and visit 192.168.4.1 to access the monitoring page and get real-time video.
- The video frame rate is approximately 5-6 frames per second.
Since the module can generate a WIFI hotspot AP, you can use a phone, PC, or other devices to wirelessly obtain camera images via WIFI, or you can obtain camera images via the module's HY2.0-4P interface.
