In this video, we make an ESP32-CAM Arduino-based Homemade WiFi Surveillance Camera under $20 that even runs off a battery!
As this project may seem quite technical, software-wise I can say it sure is, though I do hope from my step-by-step tutorial you'll get yourself an ESP32-CAM, be able to make your own WiFI CCTV cam for cheap, and monitor your home/environment in a "DIY" way.
In case you're curious about the camera's power consumption, the ESP32-CAM draws around 0.75 Watts or less and lasts running for about 24 hours on a 4400mAh battery pack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
❗ Important updates regarding uploading the code ❗
Firstly you must make sure of the following:
• Once you have downloaded & unzipped full code, copy and paste config files from the data folder to MicroSD card.
• Check that your esp32 boards library is up to date, update if it's not v2.0.2 or above.
• WiFi credentials from now on must be entered in "utils.cpp" tab and not "myConfig.h".
• Select "ESP32 Dev Module", partition scheme "Minimal SPIFFS (1.9MB OTA/190KB SPIFFS)", enable PSRAM.
❗ All of these important steps mentioned have to be followed since the recent (2022) update to this code. ❗
--------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to GitHub repository admin @s60sc and also @nnjim for helping out not only myself with getting the camera's code's misunderstandings resolved but also for all viewers here and people who would also want to recreate this project.

    One of the hardest part for me was to switch from internal antenna to external. Since that little resistor is 0 ohm I just drop a little solder to connect the external pads and I left the internal pads connected. I placed the esp32cam on my driveway and works great. Thank you for this vid!

    Hey guys! This video is now considered OUTDATED in terms of the info given about getting set up with the ESP32-CAM, powering methods and the extensive code. Please watch the new video here and follow along: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZOErK6kltSqpaw.html Thanks for understanding! ❗ IMPORTANT UPDATES REGARDING THE CODE❗ Firstly you must make sure of the following: • Once you have downloaded & unzipped full code, copy and paste config files from the data folder to MicroSD card. • Check that your esp32 boards library is up to date, update if it's not v2.0.2 or above. • WiFi credentials from now on must be entered in "utils.cpp" tab and not "myConfig.h". • Select "ESP32 Dev Module", partition scheme "Minimal SPIFFS (1.9MB OTA/190KB SPIFFS)", enable PSRAM. ❗ All of these important steps mentioned should be followed since the recent (2022) update to this code. ❗ -------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to GitHub repository admin @s60sc and also @nnjim for helping out not only myself with getting the camera code's issues & misunderstandings resolved but also for all viewers here and people who would also want to recreate this project. -------------------------------------------------------- More tips and prompts to know before attempting project: The DIY Security Camera with its current code only works when an SD card is inserted, otherwise it simply won't connect or function. The first code I demonstrated does not include recording video or saving it to any kind of SD card, the second one (more complex code) does. It is safe to leave the DIY Security Camera plugged in via a micro USB cable to a 5V Phone charger power-supply the whole time, that way you're able to keep the camera running, not worrying about the batteries running flat. To reprogram the Security camera, connect some jumper wires from the extended row of pins on the ESP32-CAM module to an FTDI USB to Serial converter. With the given camera's IP address, you're only able to connect to its webserver when in the programmed WiFi network, connecting to the camera through other WiFi networks won't work unless you Port Forward the camera's IP address through your router settings and use your network's public IP + port number (80-85...) when searching via web browser from another network. Don't forget to leave a like if you enjoyed watching the video or found it informative, share, subscribe if you haven't yet, comment leave your thoughts on my project, & please don't be shy to throw me a question about anything in regard to the Homemade CCTV camera/any troubleshooting questions. 😊

Where to buy a phone camera?, it would be possible to be assembled in the same way?, or some steps would change? Thank you in advance.

    Hi there. Many thanks for your comment! From what I've heard, the ESP32-CAM is very limited on the camera sensors it can accept and use. To get better image quality, there are a couple of options, such as picking a small lens with zoom capability or choosing between similar models to the OV2640 camera sensor. Though, it would be a struggle finding a way to implement a higher quality camera to the ESP32. Cheers, Max.

    I'm just wondering if there is a way to see the port number of esp32 when its online other than the local ip address then you can technically configure your router to port forward it so that it will be visible outside your LAN. the only problem is your ISP is dynamically updating your public IP unless you are using dedicated internet connection or you can use some online service such as the No-IP to give you unique static public IP

    Hi. Yes, you may use that TTL converter pretty much the same way as you'd use the FTDI. No, the TP4056 module or any suitable 3.7V charging module is required to safely charge the cam's lithium battery with automatic cutoff. One cannot directly connect a charger to the cell without a form of way for that charge to cutoff for the cell. Cheers, Max

  • @MaxImagination

    Hi. You do not need an Arduino board as you'd be using ESSPRESIF system's ESP32-CAM development board which operates on being programmed off of the same coding language as the Arduino. The code it was programmed with already enables the camera to record upon detected motion, so yes. If you lose your camera, you'd have to depend on not the current webserver, but a free or paid IoT cloud service such as HomeAssistant (can be installed and found from online). Hope this helps!

    Hi and thank you! Running on a 4400mAh battery like the one seen in my video, it should last you around 24h with the ESP always on. I calculated that by dividing the energy (4400mAh) by the normal ESP current consumption (180mA) to get 24.45 hours of average run time. Though, this may of course vary due to other features you may toggle or leave ON, regarding the ESP32-CAM and its web-server. Thanks for your comment. Max

    Pretty secure, from my experience anyway.

This type of camera is totally safe if it is not "Port forwarded".
