You should see a strange file. When you open the file, there will be captured images in it.
I'm waiting on my MK2 camera (WROVER) to arrive to see what the difference in the 2 are.

http://192.168.4.1:80 is the only open port.
http://192.168.4.1/pgm grayscale image.
http://192.168.4.1/bmp_stream - BMP stream.
http://192.168.4.1/jpg_stream - jpg stream.
But again, you may not see anything on the screen.

Look at you wifi connections, do you see M5cam in the wifi manager?
Mine doesn't show anything on the screen but does capture images.

Also, they do overheat badly.
