MKR NB1500 plus ARDUCAM 5M Pixel camera is the set up. I just cannot find any software that lets me connect the camera to the internet

//USING STANDARD EXAMPLE

#include "VidorGraphics.h"
#include "VidorCamera.h"

VidorCamera vcam;

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);pinMode(6,OUTPUT);digitalWrite(6,LOW);

// wait for the serial monitor to open,

// if you are powering the board from a USB charger remove the next line

while (!Serial) {}

if (!FPGA.begin())

{

Serial.println("Initialization failed!");
while (1) {}

}

    Serial.println("Initialization");

//while (1) {}

// begin() enables the I2C communication and initializes the camera

if (!vcam.begin()) {

Serial.println("Camera begin failed");

// while (1) {}

}

delay(4000);

Serial.println("Power On");

// The camera should be on now, streaming to the HDMI output
}

void loop()
{

// Wait for the user input to stop the camera
Serial.println("Last Loop");

String res = Serial.readStringUntil('\n');

if (res.indexOf("STOP") > 0) {

vcam.end();

}
}

In what way do you want the camera 'connected to the Internet'?

Hello John, thanks for your reply. We are trying to set up a camera that can be attached to the top of a golf flag pole.
The idea is to transmit video to the internet so people can track the game i.e. watch the progress of the ball towards the hole.
We need direct access to the internet because the flagpole may be too far away to access the clubhouse wifi hence the 1500..

Regards
Richard

I don't know if the MKR NB1500 is capable of serving video to more than one client at a time. If you want more than one person at a time to view your live-stream you may need to have the Arduino stream the video to a streaming service and have users connect to the streaming service. In that case, you need to pick a service first. The service you choose will specify the video streaming protocol(s) they support.

Please edit your post and apply code tags to the code.

Your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for advice on (nor for problems with) your project.

Thanks John, I agree with your advice. Any idea on how to get the camera working just to a monitor: I've applied the standard Arduino code , as per the earlier posting, but to no avail.

"Internet" VS "Intranet" is an issue separate from your sketch not working. Your home router becomes involved in this scenario as does any address "flipping" by your ISP. Solutions are (can be) problematic.

With sketch issues, Google to determine if you can find alternate code.

Like:
"arducam" with MKR NB1500 "examples" at DuckDuckGo

Do you mean a video monitor or a web browser? For a video monitor, you need something with a matching video output, like composite, VGA, or HDMI.

Hi John, I have an HDMI connection I’m using but is blank …monitor working OK
