Be sure to test the baud rate using your set up after you change it. You want to change tbe MCU UART BPS part - not the High-Speed UART part. This is a pretty good rate but you can of course change it by going to the Comm Config panel. There's only a few other things we suggest doing with this software. There's no way to change the image size from this program (easily) but we can do it using the Arduino sketch so just try it out here to start. Finally you can select the Compression Ratio which will improve or degrade the image quality but also change the image transfer time.

Then click Stop CFbuf when you want to snap another photo.

Press Resume up at the top to have the video start up again. Thats it! You can now easily test reading camera images. Next press Read (next to Sel Fil e) to read the jpeg image off the camera However, as far as we can tell, this is the best module on the market. The reason for this is that it's meant for surveillance, not for nature photography. The module is admittedly not extremely high resolution - the maximum image size it can take is 640x480 pixels. When motion is detected, it would take a photo and save it to a disk for later analysis. So for example, normally its just displaying video to a security monitor.

The serial port commands can request that the module freeze the video and then download a JPEG image. Its meant to constantly stream TV-resolution video out of the Video pin (this is NTSC format) and also take commands from the serial port. The module was initially designed for surveillance purposes. Since it is a little confusing how this is both a snapshot and video camera, we'd like to explain it in detail now. The modules have a few features built in, such as the ability to change the brightness/saturation/hue of images, auto-contrast and auto-brightness adjustment, and motion detection. These modules are a nice addition to a microcontroller project when you want to take a photo or control a video stream. This tutorial is for our new TTL serial camera module with NTSC video output.
