1. Open MQTTX, and click Set up new connection.

2. Configure connection parameters：

   • Host：Server addressxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   • Port：Server portxxx
   • Client ID：Any letter, for example mqttx-client-01
   • Topic：For example camera1
   • Username / Password：Set up according to the server

3. Click connect, then subscribe Topic camera1。

Data Format Description：

The MQTT message payload content sent by the device is in JSON format, as shown below:

{
  "ts": 1740640441620,
  "values": {
    "devName": "NE101 Sensing Camera",
    "devMac": "D8:3B:DA:4D:10:2C",
    "battery": 84,
    "snapType": "Button",
    "localtime": "2025-02-27 15:14:01",
    "imageSize": 74371,
    "image": "data:image/jpeg;base64,..."
  }
}

Field description：

• ts：timestamp (milliseconds)
• devName：device name
• devMac：device MAC address
• battery：battery level (percentage)
• snapType：image capture type（for example Button, Timer, Alarm in, etc.）
• localtime：local time (string format)
• imageSize：image size (unit: bytes)
• image：Base64 encoded JPEG image data, prefixed bydata:image/jpeg;base64,

Visualization Suggestion：

Use Base64 image data to quickly preview images on web pages or tools:

<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,...">

Or paste Base64 data into Base64 Image Viewer for online preview.

Functional Verification Process

1. Enter sleep mode (wait for 5 minutes to wake up automatically).
2. Trigger shooting tasks (timer/manual/external trigger).
3. Confirm image quality (resolution/exposure/focus).
4. Verify data upload (server receives confirmation to confirm whether the received image is normal).
