"I like to do timelapses from time to time" that's a good one

when the Camera is cheaper than the microSD card xD

Time lapse cameras won't get much cheaper than that. Great for risky applications, where camera might get damaged, stolen or lost. Awesome!

Best acceptable excuse for why all supposed photos of beings and objects which existence of is questionable are so poor quality they're useless for evidence except to show something to be mistaken was there. Also masks otherwise obvious clues of being fake. Can't wait until FHD at least is that inexpensive.

Seems funny that I’ve been working on building a greenhouse for the past few days and I decided to take a break and play around with the esp32-cam I purchased a while ago. You’ve given me some good ideas! Thanks

Timelapses are great for showing how everything is in a constant state of change. Nothing stands still. Every second, the entirety of the universe/multiverse changes so dramatically that our feeble little brains can't even comprehend it.

Hi! I made a comparable system with the same camera, but added a small 0.96” oled screen and a button to allow changing the timelapse intervals. Do you think it is possible to also use the display to change the camera settings? I can give you my code if you want...

@cantinasongband

with a screen that small and only one button, why not just use the esp as a wifi station and use the web interface?

Short answer: yes it can be used. Any camera can be used for time-lapse

Great video! I would like to try taking 3 time lapse movies simultaneously with different exposure settings so that post processing could be used to grab the best data from each exposure and nice smooth fades can be made between exposure levels in the final file. Another approach might be to establish hard-coded exposures based on sun position rather than light readings.

thats a incredible project super well done, ill build one by myself in a minute

Some of those 'Board cameras' you can easily change the lenses by simply unscrewing them and replacing with another (Better!) Lens, even Wide-Angle/Fish-eye and mini-Zoom, easy to refocus too by screwing in/out.

Also, the lens can actually be focused manually. It has a screw thread but it is kept in place with a small blob of glue. It can be forced a little to break the glue bond and can then be focused even for a distance of just a few mm. If the lens is too loose after breaking the glue you may need to put a new blob of glue, preferably a weak glue that can easily be broken if you want to refocus.

Great work ! But is there a way of getting this to work in server mode so that I can set it up without a router close by? I guess yes but the real question is how, maybe you could tweak the code a little ??? I'm kinda new to this and my attempts at tweaking have all failed. BTW: Mac Users you can easily use QuickTime 10.5 to join pictures to a video, works great.

Hello thank you for this video could you tell me what code to add to set the time with the ntp server with wifi, because the date and time displayed on the micro sd are not correct (January 1, 1980) THANKS

I wonder if these boards changed recently. I tried building a reset circuit like yours early last year and encountered the LED connected to (IIRC) IO0, causing reset to be flaky at best and I just gave up on this model. Might be time to revisit.

Hi, is brilliant !!! Please tell me this, if the USB 32 is Wi-Fi enabled will you not be able to save the pictures directly to a Wi-Fi enabled computer or hard disk instead? I am not an electronics guy but have a keen interest in learning and so I ask. Thanks .

Is it possible to use a addition micro lens to have good focus in close range ?

can we make this timelapse camera project to send data instead of saving on sd card permanently like let say after some time transfer timelapse folder data to some server or back to my pc so that we do not have to physically access the sd card again and again? my use case is to monitor birds ( bird watching ) so i dont want to disturb them by going close to their nest however placing a esp32 module is very stealthy and they do not get scared of it .

You need a wifi access point to connect, but not internet. You connect to wifi just for controlling them, it's an intRAnet, just the devices connected to the wifi. You can use an ESP32 as a wifi access point, but very slow so video preview would be impossible.

just wondering why you did not implement easy to change wifi ssid and password without recompile the sketch again. and one more thing is append jpeg frame-by-frame without the need of external pc.

You could fix the focus to macro if you unscrew the lens 1 or 2mm, so you enlarge focus a little bit, does the lens rotates ?

I found my ESP32-Cams to be very sensitive to me touching or moving the board while streaming in a browser with the example sketch. Some of that pertained to wifi signal strength, which seems to be an issue, but also some other strangeness going on.

Would it be possible to modify the code to use a better quality sensor? Not more megapixels, but maybe just better color reproduction etc. Or increase the size of the psram to fit better quality?

Hm, it does not work for me. No pictures are stored on the card. I tried different ones, startet everything several times but no data is stored. The Webinterface is working fine. I get the following message: E (1555) sdmmc_sd: sdmmc_check_scr: send_scr returned 0xffffffff Card Mount Failed Any hints? Thx. Edit/ Sehe gerade du kommst auch aus Darmstadt ... Beste Grüße.

Great work! When I tried your code the led stayed on permanently. Also how about a mode in the code and hacker interface to put camera into deep sleep after taking a photo. Keep up good work please.

have run quite a few progs on these cams, but for some reason this code example does not save a pic..it just resets the board. switching to a 5V power bank vs the computer usb cable with no change It simply keeps resetting the board . I did notice you don't include the soc.h libs to deal with brownouts but i am not getting an error code along those lines. Otherwise, this is a nicely presented project.

Please make a webcam version or just resolder a better camera with Better sensor is that possible?

I find that after 6 hours of being on the camera will shut down. A reboot by unplugging and plugging back in the power will resolve the issue. Do I have a faulty camera or do I need to put a small fan near the ESP32. Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi I finally got it working but I have a new problem, if the esp32cam gets disconnected it won't reconnect to the router/hotspot/network automatically and I have to reach the esp32cam and restart it by hand. What if I want to fix it in some place high? Do I really need to restart it every time? Can't it just get reconnected to the network like any other normal device? And btw can I add multiple network credentials to esp32cam code so if one is not in range it would connect to the other ones.

Dear bitluni, The link in the discription of the esp32 cam is working but they ain't selling it via that link anymore.

hi friend, thanks for the codes, but i cant install the libs, why? i tried all metods

Yeah, it's a 2MB camera but it looks like the biggest issue is optics. Maybe design an adapter for trying camera lens?

I'm wondering if therebis a way just to get video from the esp32 without having all them controls.

You could try initializing the SD card in 1 bit mode, so the flash pin is not used for communication with the SD Card. This way the data rate is slower. But that's mainly a problem when running on battery. And having an LED blinking all the time isn't exactly power saving either. :D You can initialize the SD card in 1 bit mode with: SD_MMC.begin("/sdcard", true); Not sure if the library supports the 4 bit protocol, I believe that would also not interfere with the LED and would be faster. But anyway, you could try to see if you can get away with the 1 bit mode or if the speed is too slow. Or desolder the LED... :D
