ESP 32 Cam Power Method Cutebot Pro

I am showing how to add pins to the red and black wires on the USB cable so that you can plug a 3.7 V recharge battery into the ESP 32 CAM. Then any mobile device that has WiFi connection can find the CAM broadcast and use a browser, like Chrome, to see the video feed in real time. All this is light weight and can be added with Velcro to the bot car. See other videos on this channel.

This is SO useful !! Thanks for sharing, especially the cheap camera side (esp32-cam) and the power trick with the cheap rechargable battery!

Our friend, Jason Davies visited us here in Missouri, USA ; from England, and he programmed these cameras with Arduino so the firmware now works with WiFi built in. I left the programming "hat" on the camera board because that has the micro-USB plug for power input. You can also just use one hat for many boards to program them and then plug battery direct into pins on the camera without the board. You must have a browser installed on the mobile device; or laptop. I find that Safari sometimes does not work on iPhone. But, Edge and Chrome always work for me with this camera. Thanks, as always, for the comment.
