IMPORTANT NOTE:
When ordering accessories, add all items to your shopping cart before checkout,
it should automatically combine postage. If not, select "free local
pickup" for the accessories but pay postage on the ESP32CAM. If you are
only ordering the accessories individually you must select a valid
shipping option.
Otherwise, just load everything in your shopping cart, and request total.
If you do not, your shipping will automatically be upgraded based on the service upgrade appropriate to the total charge given.
ESP32-CAM
is a WIFI&Bluetooth dual-mode development board, which uses PCB
on-board antennas and cores based on ESP32 chips. It can work
independently as a minimum system.
ESP integrates WiFi, traditional
Bluetooth, and BLE Beacon, with two high-performance 32-bit LX3 CPUs,
7-stage pipeline architecture, main frequency adjustment range 80MHz to
240MHz, on-chip sensor, Hall sensor, temperature sensor and so forth.
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 hosts 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.
Low-power dual-core 32-bit CPU for application processors.

Installation notes:
Connect
the TTL or FTDI programmer RX to esp TX and programmer TX to esp RX.
(open serial monitor and press the reset button, it will start up a demo
code indicating the board is functional)
connect IO0 to ground.
press
the reset button, you can confirm there is a data connection by having
serial monitor open, it will output a message saying "ready to download"
when in flash mode.
Next you can program your ESP CAM.
If using
the espressiff builtin camera server example sketch, make sure to
program as "AI Thinker ESP32 CAM" and in the code, comment out wrover
esp32 and uncomment out AI Thinker, this board uses the same pin
definitions as the AI thinker model.
Next program the ESP cam. if you
get ...___....____....____ it means you have a bad connection, try
changing the baud rate, cpu speed or flash speed where possible to
something lower, or, just try again. Changing the power from 5v to 3.3v
may resolve this issue too, make sure to only put 3.3v into the 3.3v
rail, and never EVER put 5v through it or you will blow the board. you
shouldnt have communication issues however if it gives you the download
ready message in flash mode via serial monitor. it also happens if the
board is not in flash mode or listening, make sure to hit the reset
button before programming.
After programming, disconnect UO0 from ground, and press reset after opening the serial monitor.
several data check messages will display.
if
you get an error along the lines of "vsync failed" or a message with
error code "0x20003", try re-seating the camera, otherwise try
programming the camera again or resetting, or disconnecting power for a
while then reconnecting. this message occurs when the actual camera is
not able to be initialized. it can also be caused by a weak power
supply, use a USB3.0 USB port when initially testing the ESPCAM
eventually
you will see this "............." this means the camera was
successfully probed and passed inspection, and the board is currently
attempting to connect to wifi.
When the board connects to wifi (note
it is unable to connect to 5G) it will tell you, and provide you with
an IP address you can enter into your browser to stream through the
camera. Note you may have problems with streaming if multiple people try
to watch the feed simultaneously. If the wifi is connected it means the
system check passed and the camera is operational, a bad connection can
also prevent you getting a stream even though you can still pull still
images. If you cant even get still images, you may have some sort of
security somewhere preventing the stream.
OTA programming code
also exists which you can add to the program which allows you program
the ESP cam over wifi so you dont need to go through the hassle of using
the programmer more than once the first time around.
