Figure 1 ArduCAM-Mini-2MP-V2 and ESP8266-Nano
1 Introduction
The evaluation kit is designed for low cost WIFI IoT camera based on ArduCAM-Mini-2MP-V2 and ArduCAM-ESP8266-Nano modules. User can implement a 2MP WIFI camera using HTTP or Websocket protocol on ESP8266, and the camera can be acted as an AP and mobile phone/PC can connect to the camera directly or acted as a Station which connected to the home router. The kit can take 2MP full resolution JPEG still image, but streaming low resolution low frame rate video due to the limitation of ESP8266. The kit can be USB powered or battery powered with buildin charging circuits. The kit can also be used separately, it is identical to an ArduCAM-Mini-2MP camera and a ESP8266 module.

4 Pin Definition
There are two connectors on ArduCAM-Mini-2MP camera module, the 8 pin connector on the down side is standard ArduCAM connector. The other dual line 16 pin connector is dedicate connector for ArduCAM-ESP8266-Nano module, it can be well mated with ESP8266 Nano module directly.

6 Getting Started ESP8266 with Arduino IDE
This chapter shows you how to develop an application for ArduCAM ESP8266
Nano board using Arduino IDE.
6.1 Installing with Boards Manager
Starting with 1.6.4, Arduino allows installation of third-party platform packages using Boards Manager. We have packages available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (32 and 64 bit).
Install Arduino 1.6.8 from the Arduino website.
Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
Enter the following link into Additional Board Manager URLs field. You can
add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
http://www.arducam.com/downloads/ESP8266_UNO/package_ArduCAM_index.json
Open Boards Manager from Tools -> Board menu and install
ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO addon package.
Note that the installed package source file is located in the C:\Users\Your computer
name\AppData\Local\Arduino15\ folder, here is
C:\Users\zk109\AppData\Local\Arduino15\ for example.

6.2 Using Arduino IDE
After installation of ArduCAM ESP8266 Nano board add-on package, you can select this board from the Tool->Board menu. And there several ready to use examples from the File->Examples->ArduCAM. You can use these examples directly or as a starting point to develop your own code.
Select ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO board from Tool->Board menu.

Select the example from File->Examples->ArduCAM .
Figure 4 Example Selection
Configure the camera setting
You need to modify the memorysaver.h file in order to enable OV2640 camera
for ArduCAM Mini 2MP camera modules. Only one camera can be enabled at a
time. The memorysaver.h file is located at C:\Users\Your computer
name\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\
ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO\hardware\ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO\2.1.0\libraries\ArduCAM

Compile and uploading

Change the SSID and password if needed with your own network environment
before compile the example. Click uploading the example will automatically
flashed into the board.
6.3 Examples
There are 3 examples for both 2MP ArduCAM mini camera modules.
ArduCAM_Mini_OV2640_Capture
This example uses HTTP protocol to capture still or video over home wifi network from ArduCAM mini 2MP and display on the web browser.
Using this example the ssid and password should be modifies before uploading.
Figure 6 Wifi Camera Example
After uploading, the board IP address is obtained via DHCP protocol. You can figure out the IP address through the serial monitor as Figure 7 shown. The default serial monitor baudrate setting is 115200bps.

Figure 7 Identifying IP address
Finally, open the index.html or video.html, input the IP address obtained from the serial monitor then take pictures or videos. The html files are located at
C:\Users\Your computer name\Local\Arduino15\packages\

This example takes time elapse still photos using ArduCAM mini 2MP and then stored on the TF/SD card. The LED indicates when the TF/SD card is writing.
ArduCAM_Mini_OV2640_Video2SD
This example takes motion JPEG video clips using ArduCAM mini 2MP and then stored on the TF/SD card as AVI format,about 4 minutes to complete.
