In this video I run you through the process of me developing a fully-equipped ESP32-CAM-based Solar-powered WiFi Security (Surveillance) Camera from the ground up. Overcoming a handful of obstacles in the way along the journey of building the unit, after 3 months, I am proud to announce that I have succeeded!
Even though the camera can have more improvements done to really get the most out of it (Hardware-wise and with remote access features), it still has turned out to be a capable DIY security camera that can already do so much.

Purchase the Camera's 3D design files here: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/the-most-equipped-esp32-surveilance-camera-3d-model Also, please keep in mind that this security camera is only a PROTOTYPE and was made with the intent of potentially making it a product one day. I did not expect to make it a more viable solution to replace commercial CCTV camera systems (at least not yet). Much more would need to be worked on, still. Its prototype cost came out to around $380 USD, considering I hired overseas services and got everything at retail cost. If it were to be mass-manufactured, its overall (per-unit) manufacturing cost would drop by a LOT. I don't want to discourage anyone out there who wants to make something alike of their own, but I don't necessarily expect others to recreate the level of camera I have just made, as it was an experiment. However, if you do have a vision with what you choose to create and think you will end up with something that meets your needs, pursue it! Huge thanks to PCBWay and DFRobot for making this project possible! The camera works really well with its current features, couldn't have asked for a better outcome 😁

@makernova8160 Рік тому
Man, what an awesome project! These are my favorite videos to watch and to make! One thing I've noticed with 3D prints, especially when you have holes for switches and such, is sometimes widening the opening by 0.5 or 1 mm will make it so you don't have to sand down or chisel openings to fit parts. At some point it may make sense to print "fit guides" that have a grid of different sizes of features to make it easier to see what your 3D model will translate to when it's actually printed. Another option that I've done with bigger parts is to print out sub sections of the model in multiple iterations until I can get the right fit before finally printing out the overall component. I saw you mentioned intending to make this a product one day, that's really cool! I've always wanted to make a product some day too. Have you thought about making kits too? Whenever I see videos/posts of someone making something there's always a range of responses from people who want you to make the product and just buy it off of you, to people who want to buy a box with all of the parts so they can make it themselves, to people who just want a list of parts and they'll do the rest. I've always thought kits would be a cool, easy way to still sell the product. You can still buy components in bulk but you don't have to do any assembly yourself! Anyway, thanks for sharing your build with us!
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Many thanks for your kind comment! Yes, I will definitely try to make fittings in my prints a millimeter or so wider next time to get the perfect fit. I have thought about making my own kits too, one day. This can be a plus as it reduces the amount of time I have to spend assembling the camera and let others do it if they want it in kit form. Others may one day be able to purchase it in assembled form too. Thanks for your insights! Best regards!
@nerddub 11 місяців тому

Very cool little project I must say. Something that could save you a bit of power and maybe alleviate some of the issues you had with the PIR's is Human Precence Microwave detection units like the RCWL-0516 mounted facing down could give you quite a wide area to pick up movement, and save some space too. But nice job.

Interesting thought experiment and places like PCBway have made it easier for people. I find it interesting is how little security camera chips actually exist given the market and how cell phone cameras are different again. You could upgrade to 180 degree cameras giving your camera potential 360 view, and also you should get penertation testing done or do it yourself on the device (its all great as a camera but if it can be hacked by non tech kid down the street its pointless) Keep it up doesn't take much to get from where you are too produciton

Great work, looking forward to you synthesizing what you've just learned into V3. Given the ESPCAM is 5$ device and given it's lackluster performance, I think the entire device should be made with more consideration for the cost Recycled 18650 are more appropriate for such a project. You should run the entire camera in an oscilloscope to measure exact instantaneous power draw, I imagine current draw extremely high right now. The camera should sleep when not actively being looked at, awaken by timer and PIR movement The power control circuitry has certainly a lot of room for reducing idle and sleep current With a slip ring, you could probably have 360 degree rotation by putting the rotation (yaw) servo on-board. Many parts could be mounted without screws with just locking feature on the housing. Using ESPNOW you should be able to have remote trigger PIR sensors to wake up the camera with movement currently too far away. You should try to improve frame rate, possibly by lowering resolution and your wifi setup. It would make sense to dial image quality up and down depending on network condition and whether you are recording or streaming. Try reducing the number or screws and insert to 6 Replace silicon with o-ring to make re-assembly easier ESP cam is so cheap, have two sensor to switch between night and day on the CSI bus

Cctv and coax cable have alot going for them. If you monitor the resistance on your coax shielding you can detect when someone taps the line. Its super safe and coax is practically scrap. Its just hard to find systems that still take coax. Personally i dont like any home security that runs on wifi. For anything. Like even using wifi to call the cops. If its got any kind of wifi bottle neck i cant accept it.

Lots of work, totally! 😅 Thanks for your compliment!

Very impressive. Taking something with that kind of complexity from nothing to a finished project... Won't lie... Makes me a little jealous lol

Perfect build. But seems to be an overkill for the feeble ESP32-CAM. You can consider moving the antenna to the solar pole and use LiPoly battery that comes with a more compact form factor. Passive cooling is a better way forward if you want to make a product or a kit out of it.
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Thanks for your comment. Performance-wise, the ESP32-CAM does not struggle. I'd say to continue using this code with a faster microprocessor, it would be better to upgrade the camera to an ESP32-S3. Yes, I realize that the fan may not be needed for cooling after all. Thanks for your suggestions.

Dyson had rooms full of proto type vacs before he models went on sale. Even then models were iterated. At every stage, this guy would have been thinking how he could improve it for the next time. Just imagine what sort of camera he could produce if he was left to do this for the next three years. The requirement, his level of creativity, intelligence and enthusiasm. I'm very surprised he isn't 3d printing. The world will open up a way for him when he gets on that.

Hello bro where are you from
@jeremygautreau7297 3 місяці тому
Young man, I really enjoyed watching you put this project together. I do not know how old you are, however, I too was doing electronics at a young age and was nowhere near you level of expertise. Very good job and I would love to see more as well as have chats with you as I am very impressed with your work. What kind of work do you do and what are your plans for better work?
@MaxImagination 3 місяці тому
Thank you for your kind remarks, sir! I am 18 years old and started learning electronics at the age of 14 and still applying knowledge today. My plans for future work is what you currently see, but much larger. If you know, you know. Cheers!

Nice project. Perhaps you should pull air in the front and out the back, as that is the way the heat will want to travel naturally.
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Hi there. Thanks for watching! Yeah, that adjustment would make sense as hot air travels upwards (considering the camera is mostly tilted slightly downward). Cheers.

Great project. Next one will be solar tracking, so the solar panel face the sun at all time.😁
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Thank you. The solar panel can simply be kept adjusted to one position which takes the average of the sun's highest points in the sky. This is enough sunlight to recharge the camera's battery pack, from what I've discovered.
@-MrDontCare- Рік тому
@@MaxImagination I see, that's good.👍 I live in the north of norway, so the sun for us is much lower and moves around us instead of over us.

@MaxImagination I'm going a slightly different route because my father inlaw is going to fund it so I have to make it a big button interface hahaha. I love your enthusiasm and content, keep it up.

Hi, my question is when a movement is detected, the camera automatically follows the movements and informs you when the movement is detected?
@MaxImagination 8 місяців тому
No, the camera does not have this following feature yet. Though, it does record video when motion is detected. The camera is operated manually for movement of the head.
@electronicstv5884 Рік тому
Very nice project that looks very professional! Next thing would be 24/7 recording to a Server or something 😅
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Thanks for your kind words! Working on configuring it a FTP connection to a PC. We'll see how that goes 🙂

This is an amazing video. Looks like you need to invest into a 3-D printer bamboo labs coming soon?
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Thanks, Jacob! Will be investing in a 3D printer soon... The cost of producing these will drastically go down as well. Cheers.

Awesome. Great content, great project and superbly filmed and edited. Kudos. Typical electronics project - find the cheapest viable wifi camera on the market, then spend hundreds turning it into a fleshed out solution! Looks v. cool. Needs some high vis stripes down the side :)
@MaxImagination Рік тому
Thank you, Paul! Will keep improving it :)
