ESP32-CAM ESP32 development board with camera

The ESP32-CAM is a WIFI + Bluetooth dual-mode development board based on the ESP32 microcontroller. It can be used as a standard ESP32 development board but also includes two additional features of an SVGA camera LED flash, and TF card socket.

The ESP32-CAM is fully supported by the Arduino IDE via the boards manager feature and includes examples (see forum here for setup and webcam example).

PLEASE NOTE THAT TO PROGRAM THIS BOARD YOU WILL NEED A SUITABLE USB TO SERIAL ADAPTER. Unless you have experience in programming ESP32s with USB adapters we strongly recommend purchasing the optional USB adapter board as this is by far the simplest way to program the ESP32-CAM:

Features:
ESP integrates WiFi, traditional Bluetooth and BLE Beacon, with 2 high-performance 32-bit LX6 CPUs, 7-stage pipeline architecture, main frequency adjustment range 80MHz to 240MHz, on-chip sensor, Hall sensor, temperature sensor, etc. Fully compliant with WiFi 802.11b/g/n/e/i and Bluetooth 4.2 standards, it can be used as a master mode to build an independent network controller, or as a slave to other host MCUs to add networking capabilities to existing devices.

ESP32-CAM can be widely used in various IoT applications. It is suitable for home smart devices, industrial wireless control, wireless monitoring, QR wireless identification, wireless positioning system signals and other IoT applications. It is an ideal solution for IoT applications
