ESP32-Cam Complete Guide

Ғылым және технология

In this video I explain the ESP32-Cam in detail. I cover the basics of the ESP32-Cam, how to program it in Arduino, how to wire it, and cover many examples such as showing live video in a web browser, taking a picture and saving in SD card, and even doing some computer vision.

    So I just got an ESP-32 camera (which came with a USB adapter) for a project and I tried the webcam browser (or whatever it is) example, and my code uploaded successfully. But when I press the reset button, nothing shows up in the serial monitor although the baud is the highest and everything. Sometimes if I unplug and plug the camera back in it would show some weird question mark characters that would either go on forever, or there would be like 4 of them. It is so weird. Idk what is the issue but I am considering returning the camera. Any solutions?

    Thanks for uploading this; the video is interesting and informative with great visuals, too! Currently working through the examples and just got to the webcam-server stage. In regards to future projects; it would be interesting to know how train the ESP32-CAM to take an action when it detects a certain object? Eg: smart garage door that recognises certain number plates

    Hey there! Your tutorials are incredibly helpful, and I was wondering if you could consider making a video explaining how to initiate and work with the OV7670 camera module. Given your talent for simplifying complex processes, I believe it would be an invaluable resource for the community. Looking forward to learning from your expertise! Thanks in advance! 📹📷

    How many current can support the board? Because, I want buy it with an adapter to programming (flashing), it has a USB adapter, that I can use with a charger adapter for a smart phone. Therefore, the adapter supplies 2 ampers as maximum quantity. Hence, I have the question if it could burn up the board using the mentioned charger adapter, with a high current. Thanks for your time and thanks for the video, it was a enormous help for me. 🗿

    I want to read my gas meter. Can you do OCR with an ESP32 locally? Without connecting the ESP32 to your home network? The meter is outside and connecting to my home network would be a security risk. Connecting it to a Lora module to send 1 way readings is ok, though.

    Set it to use AP mode. I had the same problem when connecting the camera's wifi to router. Use AP mode if you still use internal antenna. AP mode is good for testing your code. Here is some code in my camerawebserver sketch. #define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER // Has PSRAM const char* ssid_AP = "xxxxx"; // replace xxxxx with your desired ssid name const char* password_AP =xxxxx"; // replace xxxxx with any password IPAddress local_IP(192, 168, 1, 90); IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 1); IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0); IPAddress primaryDNS(8, 8, 8, 8); //optional IPAddress secondaryDNS(8, 8, 4, 4); //optional in setup( ) function. just before startCameraServer(); remove these lines: WiFi.begin(ssid, password); WiFi.setSleep(false); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { delay(500); Serial.print("."); } Serial.println(""); Serial.println("WiFi connected"); and replace them with: WiFi.softAPConfig(local_IP, gateway, IPAddress(255,255,255,0)); WiFi.softAP(ssid_AP, password_AP);
