Install ESP 32 boards in Arduino IDE :

Please refer this video to add ESP32 Boards in Arduino IDE

ESP 32 Boards Link : https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json

Code :

In your Arduino IDE, go to File > Examples > ESP32 > Camera and open the CameraWebServer example.

OR

Download the code from here :

esp32-CameraWebServerDownload

Schematics For Programming the Board :

The ESP32-CAM doesn’t have a USB connector, so you need to use FTDI to upload code through the U0R and U0T pins (serial pins) in ESP32 CAM Board.

Please refer the schematics below

Uploading of the code :

Before uploading the code, you need to input your wifi credentials in the following part of code:

const char* ssid = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SSID";
const char* password = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PASSWORD";

and make sure you select the right camera module.As here we’re using the AI-THINKER Model so select the following

So, comment all the other models and uncomment this one:

#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

follow these steps to upload the code :

  1. Go to Tools > Board and select ESP32 Wrover Module
  2. Go to Tools > Port and select the COM port the ESP32 is connected to
  3. In Tools > Partition Scheme, select “Huge APP (3MB No OTA)“
  4. Then, click the upload button to upload the code.

Getting IP From Serial Monitor :


Remove the jumper connected between GPIO0 & GND then,​

Open the Serial Monitor with the baud rate : 115200. Press the ESP32-CAM on-board Reset button and wait for the IP to appear and wait for few seconds and then hit reset again.

Its time to check the video Stream :

Open your browser and make sure your PC is connected to same network as ESP32 CAM and then type the IP and click on stream button and you’ll get similar video stream.

For Detailed Info Please watch the video.

  416. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone! zoloft 150 mg.
