ESP32-Cam Complete Guide

Рік тому

In this video I explain the ESP32-Cam in detail. I cover the basics of the ESP32-Cam, how to program it in Arduino, how to wire it, and cover many examples such as showing live video in a web browser, taking a picture and saving in SD card, and even doing some computer vision.

What projects would you like to see next? 😃

@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL 10 місяців тому

So I just got an ESP-32 camera (which came with a USB adapter) for a project and I tried the webcam browser (or whatever it is) example, and my code uploaded successfully. But when I press the reset button, nothing shows up in the serial monitor although the baud is the highest and everything. Sometimes if I unplug and plug the camera back in it would show some weird question mark characters that would either go on forever, or there would be like 4 of them. It is so weird. Idk what is the issue but I am considering returning the camera. Any solutions?

Try a different USB port on your PC or better use USB hub.

@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL 10 місяців тому

@@richardroy6747 I actually got it to work as of now. Luckily it was connecting to wifi so it was just my usb cable

Can we see a video on the LILLYGO pico T-3 with the RP2040 & ESP32 with LCD. That microcontroller looks awesome

@hjw5774 9 місяців тому

Thanks for uploading this; the video is interesting and informative with great visuals, too! Currently working through the examples and just got to the webcam-server stage. In regards to future projects; it would be interesting to know how train the ESP32-CAM to take an action when it detects a certain object? Eg: smart garage door that recognises certain number plates

Wow, this UKposts video was a lifesaver! Thanks to the clear and concise instructions, I successfully connected my ESP32-CAM model without any hassle. It's amazing how the creator made the complex setup seem so simple. I'm grateful for such valuable content that empowers users like me to explore and learn new technologies. Keep up the fantastic work! 🙌🎉

Hey there! Your tutorials are incredibly helpful, and I was wondering if you could consider making a video explaining how to initiate and work with the OV7670 camera module. Given your talent for simplifying complex processes, I believe it would be an invaluable resource for the community. Looking forward to learning from your expertise! Thanks in advance! 📹📷

General question please..? What size/gauge wire do I use for ESP32 S3. Connecting a sensor that is 20feet away from ESP32? Thx! My first project! Disabled and learning new things =. ESP32! Thank you!

@User-gu3se 6 місяців тому

How many current can support the board? Because, I want buy it with an adapter to programming (flashing), it has a USB adapter, that I can use with a charger adapter for a smart phone. Therefore, the adapter supplies 2 ampers as maximum quantity. Hence, I have the question if it could burn up the board using the mentioned charger adapter, with a high current. Thanks for your time and thanks for the video, it was a enormous help for me. 🗿

@user-jw1dw1fy3v 10 місяців тому

nice video ! Is it possible to erase SDcard images from smartphone (WiFi network)? .

@NicksStuff 3 місяці тому

I want to read my gas meter. Can you do OCR with an ESP32 locally? Without connecting the ESP32 to your home network? The meter is outside and connecting to my home network would be a security risk. Connecting it to a Lora module to send 1 way readings is ok, though.

How many gpio pins are available for external sensors on esp 32 cam while its inbuilt sd card and ov sensor pins are already occupied some pines ?

Bro how you disabled port in tools option please tell me . Com5 port is important or not . There is no any issue of ports or yes

@MorrWorm8 9 місяців тому

If it’s showing up as a Com you probably need driver for it

@danra.i 22 дні тому

How do i figure out which ports to use?

@NamasenITN 7 місяців тому

I completely miss the point of CV with Python on a desktop pc. Having the esp32 or a usb cam does not really matter conceptually. The cool thing would be to do image processing on board with the esp32. Am I too optimistic?

@velikanskaglava2087 Місяць тому

Yes, you are too optimistic.

Hey how do i resolve camera_pins.h not found? it already in the ESP32 library in H type file format but the ide still can't find it

@gizmowizard352 9 місяців тому

What do you mean? As soon as you open the File-> Examples-> ESP 32->Camera -> CameraWebServer example,you see the camera_pins.h tab right in front of your eyes! If you have any problems please comment.

What if you have ESP32-CAM-MB ? Do you still need to do that short GND?

@ConorFenlon 4 дні тому

No. I've programmed it a bunch of times with the MB Programmer and I've never had to do anything with pins 1 and 0

@garrymcdonald5456 11 місяців тому

Can these do wifi direct connect (p2p) so I can connect direct with my phone to the camera and view through the phone? I cant find any information online. Anyone know if there are any modules that can do this? I need to view live on my phone in places where there is no internet.

@ConorFenlon 4 дні тому

If you use your phone's 4G connection over hotspot and you program the esp32cam appropriately, you can use it like this. I've already tried it with this module and it works.

@gabriele1757 3 місяці тому

Two things I've found when messing with it: 1. Make sure GI00 is shorted to ground. 2. It is strange but I had to connect my TX to TX and RX to RX which would normally be backwards. @@user-ev5kk6wr8b

@goofyass155 Місяць тому

also somewhat strange, try changing the ground pin on esp32 to the left side below the 5V pin. and if you use 5Ghz wifi, it might also help to change into 2.4Ghz. idk why that is but it's working

Bro, I am getting issue, its get restarting when I turned on face Detection. Can you help?

@diyengineers 11 місяців тому

Hi, thanks for watching. I didn't have that issue. I have read that you could run into that issue when powering the ESP32-Cam through the FTDI. Have you tried turning on face detection without powering via FTDI?

@salmanahmad4759 11 місяців тому

@diyengineers Bro, thanks for your reply. I have tried with other power methods but not work, and with FTDI its even do not power up, Keep restarting for every second. In the end, I think it's an issue with and order new one that will deliver today, and I will check it with a new one.
