ESP32-CAM development board with camera, WiFi and Bluetooth

A full-featured ESP32 with a camera module and Micro SD card slot.

The OV5640 camera module contains a 1/4 inch CMOS UXGA (1632 x 1232 pixels) image sensor. It is very small in size and has a low operating voltage of 1.7 to 3.3V.

Features:

  • Ultra-small 802.11b/g/n Wifi + BT/BLE SoC module
  • Low-power dual-core 32-bit CPU for application processors
  • Up to 240 MHz, up to 600 DMIPS
  • Built-in 520 KB SRAM, external 4 M PSRAM
  • Supports interfaces such as UART/SPI/I2C/PWM/ADC/DAC
  • Support for OV2640 and OV7670 camera with built-in flash
  • Support for image WiFI upload
  • Support for tf card
  • Support for multiple sleep modes
  • Embedded Lwip and FreeRTOS
  • Support for STA/AP/STA + AP operating mode
  • Support for Smart Config/AirKiss one-click network distribution
  • Support for serial local upgrade and remote firmware upgrade (FOTA)

NOTE, this module does not have a USB connection. A separate serial USB module (FT232RL) is required to program it.

Installing ESP32-CAM in Arduino IDE
By default, the Arduino IDE software does not recognize the ESP32 board. To be able to program the ESP32-CAM in the Arduino IDE, it must first be installed in Arduino IDE. Follow the steps below:

  1. In Arduino IDE, go to FILE and then to PREFERENCES.
  2. Under MORE BOARD MANAGER URLS, enter the following URL: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json
  3. Now go to TOOLS, BOARD and BOARD MANAGER
  4. Search for ESP32 and install ESP32 by Espressif Systems
  5. In the list under TOOLS, BOARD, choose "AI Thinker ESP32-CAM"

That's it, now you can get started with the ESP32-CAM.

Connecting the FT232RL to the ESP32-CAM
To connect the FT232RL to the ESP32-CAM, you can use the following diagram:

Do you get the message A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header

Important: GPIO 0 must be connected to GND so that the code can be uploaded.

    Works right away. With the MB underneath, the WiFi antenna performs worse. Tip: use an external antenna.

    I use it as a webcam. Via WiFi on my network, and then I can check at work what the pets are getting up to when I'm not at home. Recently the dog thought it was necessary to knock over Aunt Mies' urn, and the cat thought the contents were a new kind of cat litter.

  • ★★★★★RobVerified purchase

    Very easy and quick to get started with ESP Home Builder in Home Assistant. Don’t forget the matching MB
