There has been a few questions on how to connect the camera (on twitter). The camera connector is FLIP to open! Do not pull it along the board like a raspberry pi, but lift it up! Happy thinkering!
Took me some time .... ;-)
Can we receive the video while connected to a different network than that of the camera? @DIYTECHBROS
@@tejasmd8143 Sure thing! There are multiple ways :-) The easiest is to set up your home router to open traffic on port 80 (and 81) and forward it to this device. That way, when you type in your home IP you can see the camera. But this may be sharing a bit to much data. Another alternative is to set up Home Assistant. Then you can add more diverse as well :-)
@@DIYTECHBROS THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!! IT REALLY OPENED A WHOLE NEW WORLD TO ME!
I have a clone model of ESP 32 cam module not the AI thinker one , and I am
stuck with it , it always shows an error , A fatal error has been occurred.
I have been stuck into this for many weeks can you please help me out with it
Excellent Tutorial !! Mine worked the first time !! Sorta hard to believe really !! Your tutorial was all the things I needed / wanted to know - and none of the superfluous stuff !! Thanks !!
Thanks!
After a lot of trial and error, this is the one that worked from the first try. Liked and Subbed. Keep up the great work!
This Helped Alot!
Great 🤠
Congratulation for your video. Now I am a you subscription.
Angel Royo Thanks, hope you find the video helpful.
Thank you. I will use it n put it in my parent shop
Thanks for this, guys
Our pleasure! Thank you!
Good video, worked direct for me. Gl to your channel
Excellent! Happy thinkering!
Thanks for sharing the information.
Our pleasure :-)
Thank You
For some strange reason, mine would not power up when hooking 5v to the 5v pin, I had to hook it to the VCC pin, then I got power, she complained a bit but it did upload and works great, thanks, I had tried this one before and it complained that I had the wrong camera module. I tried unhooking it and re hooking, then it recognized the camera and began working.
That's interesting! Thanks for sharing!
@@DIYTECHBROS thats not interesting.. i think he means he hooked up 5v to the 5v-pin of the esp. Thats of course wrong...
Aha... did not catch that! My bad. Thanks for setting it straight!
maybe its same as on arduino mega, suplly voltage over usb or voltage-supply conecter both ca 6V up to 12V or 20V, i always have 5 Volts on the 5V pin, same as on the 3,3V Pin, maybe its 5V out?
Can we Send the captured image to the cloud ??
Thanks for the video. It was just what I needed. Do you have links to the other parts used in this project?
Hi Drew! I have added links to the other parts in the the description now :-)
@@DIYTECHBROS thanks!
i flash camera web server example included in the arduino to my esp32 cam it streams the video but when i turn ON the option face detect or recognize it does nothing except the low frame rate stream it doesnot detect nor recognize any face can you help
Thanks, simple and clear. Tell me what to do with port 81? Can I access the image flow, without the webpage enabling access to parameters?
Not 100% sure, but top of mind I believe you can reach the image stream on
your-ip/stream
and still frames from
your-ip/capture
You may have to add :81 to the IP.
Hi bros, thanks for the video. Could you please put an USB power meter in line and tell us what is the actual constant mA used while in highest load?
(streaming and being watched, at a detailed scene, i guess, not startup-connection peak)
Would like to think about battery size for movable camera :)
Hi! We are currently working on a follow up where we address more advanced information.
Thnks for the tutorial.
Is there a way to do video stream from the camera through a USB-to-UART to a PC computer?
(not using WiFi...)
thanks for all, i can to recording video?
Hey, thanks for the video! It will help me in my project. Do you know how to fix the error "connection reset by peer"?
good video!. Do you know if i could use a NRF24L01 with this board to send a photo to another arduino whit NRF24L01? i saw some examples with the esp32 without camera , so i tried and i couldn´t recive
we will happy if you put 3:08 url line in description...

what protocol is used by the streaming part? is it integratable in home assistant? thanks
Hi!
The streaming is outputting an MJPEG stream. If you google "home assistant mjpeg" you will fint a lot of information.
When face detection and face recognition are on, why camera is black? thank u
What is best for home security cameras: Esp32 Cam, or Rasberry Pi 4 with Cameras? Or: Can you use Esp32 Cam with Rasberry Pi?
It depends, BUT we are currently working on a Raspberry Pi running Tensor Flow for handling human detection. So far is seems to perform better than PIR sensors and motion detection.
What does the FTDI do ?
I ordered 2 and want to capture images in a synchronized way at may resolution (probably a low res live stream also needed), stored to sdcard, how to syncronize 2 modules?
My purpose would be to capture Stereo 3D images so need 2 cameras synced and the pictures could be merged side by side later or in browser.
Web server part would be for publishing the SDcard captured data.
That sounds very interesting! Hope you share it on UA-cam once you build it :-) The syncing between the devices and the latency (of your network) can be challenging. When you say live steam, does that mean that you want to stream live or do you want to store the images to you SD card and create a 3D video from that? If it is not live directly from the camera you don't have to worry about latency. For the syncing I would use one camera as "master" setting a pin high every time you want to grab a picture. Then I would make both the master camera and the other camera listen for a high signal before saving the image. So the "master camera" acts as a "master of timing" and BOTH cameras "acts as slaves" waiting for an input to take a picture.
@@DIYTECHBROS thanks, good idea about an input pin, I was also thinking about this, triggering capture still to sdcard by an input set to HIGH. (maybe the loop cycle should check the pin as I am not good at using interrupts.....)
As I see there are some pins left for custom usage not all shared with the camera and sdard pins.... what I wanted as live stream is just fr compusing pucture a low quality stream just to see on the phone what is in the picture, then start triggering capture to save the high res stills for both left and right devices....
I still not sure how to connect them to the android phone without wifi network but will test when the units arrived :)
I can't see the port on my Arduino IDE. Is there a driver I need for the FTDI232 board that is connected to my laptop (Windows 10)? Where can I get this driver please?
What is a "Sketch" ? Why does this (or does it) have to operate by wifi ?
is esp32 cam has radio built in(since it has antenna?) so it can communicate with nrf module? ir it need to add additional module for it?
bianca bersinar Hi! There’s a built in WiFi antenna on the board!
can you share the URLs for the board managers URLs?
There seems to be a bug and I really can't figure out why no matter what firmware I use. and that is if the router becomes disconnected or loss of Internet the camera goes into a disconnect mode and stays there it will not read try to connect to the network.
+Craig C That sounds like a bug. Report it at the Git page!
Hi,
did somone know how to get acces to the gpios and the 2 LEDs from the web interface or other interface.
I want do connect some relais and switch on the light LED in the dark.
thx.
Hi! The LED is on pin 4. Just add a new input /parameter to control the pin if you want to do it with the default sketch!
my problem is cant open with the ip addres, can anyone help ....
Yes that all worked and programmed and then I logged into the camera but if I then power the camera with 5 volts on a battery pack the camera is not accessible but if I connect it back on the TDI adapter it works ok my 5 volt supply is working ok tested with a meter on the pins any suggestions please
I would start by making sure the battery pack is not blocking the WiFi signal.
Then, make sure the voltage is correct and that it can deliver enough amps.
Also, some battery packs turns off if the circuit is not pulling enough power.
@@DIYTECHBROS Hi thanks for the reply battery pack is full and ok 5 volts output the camera is 10 feet from the router in the open air but nothing? so it looks like a bin job thanks anyway for your reply Bob in the UK
Is it possible to set a static IP address?
IPAddress local_IP(192, 168, 1, 120);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
Have managed to get a stream to my iPhone and iPad, but the WiFi connection is not very stable even in a short distance. Any advice how to improve that ? Thank you in advance :-)
Hi! Anything made of metal will impact your WiFi connection. Wires, breadboards, USB wires, the programmer and so on. Try placing the ESP at the very end of the breadboard. Also, check your power supply. Try adding capacitors between GND and 5V as well as GND and 3V. Best of luck :-)
I want the photos taken with the button using the Esp32cam camera module to be sent to Telegram. How can I do that?
Just to be clear, around 2:14, was that “not 5 volt tolerant”? Thanks
Yes!
DIY TECH BROS thanks!
Hi
I can get still shots but not video.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Hi Neil! What does the serial monitor say? Does it output a lot of images and give you a number of FPS? In that case it might be your browser. Since a still is just one picture of the stream. Try using a different browser and/or device.
Yes - got video working on a different browser. Quality not great and it goes on and off intermittently. but at least I got it working . Thanks for your reply.@@DIYTECHBROS
so 2amp? the usb port on a laptop then is insufficent? i.have been trying and it never gets pass the "done uoading" :(
Most USB ports can't deliver enough power, so a separate power supply is recommended. A 2A power bank would do!
What is the range of it???
+Irfan Pin-2 Hi! The range is good :-) where I have coverage with other devices the ESP32-CAM also got a signal. Note that there is an connector for an external antenna. This can give you a better placement of the antenna and thereby extend the reach!
hei, Port kommer ikke opp? så kan ikke velge esp32 hjelp?
Da virker det som programmereren din har litt utfordringer. Prøv en annen USB port eller en annen USB kabel
I was hoping you would explain the code.
+Josiah Reed Hi! What parts the code are you thinking about! Happy to help :-)
Is there a way to get it to store videos on the sd card when it sees motion, motion activated?
Hi! Motion detection is tricky business. Not because it's hard to detect motion, but because it's har to filter out false positives. Let's say a car goes by and light up parts of the picture, should that count as motion? Lightening, car lights, clouds, wind moving the camera or branches on a tree will trigger big enough changes to parts of a picture so that it will assume there is motion in the picture. Our experience is that a PIR sensor often works much better. So instead of using ESP resources on reading the image, just add a PIR sensor :-)
@@DIYTECHBROS Good idea. Thanks for the help.
@@DIYTECHBROS I ordered a pir sensor. What command tells it to record to the sd card?
@@mschaffer2826 i have the same problems , i saw on the datasheet that when we use the microSD , we lose some pins on the board , so we could only use two or one pinouts, but i´m not sure.
@@mschaffer2826 you could use a "if" condition when the pir sensor detects something but the problem is that this bord doesn´t have enought pinouts
Hi sir why did we have to connect UOT to RX and UOR to TX? once i think is otherwise : UOT for TX and UOR for RX. Can i have your explanation, sir? Thankyou🙏
Hi! In serial communications Rx is for receiving and Tx is for transmitting.
So one device is transmitting through the Tx pin, but the listening device must receive the signal on the pin it is listening, the Rx pin.
@@DIYTECHBROS thank you so much for the explanation🙏
Hey guys ! Do you know if it's possible to connect two or three esp32 cam (working together) to make a mini surveillance station ? Can't figure out how.
I don't know about ESP32 but using MotionEye OS works well for the rpi zero w. But have to disable lazy loading feature on google chrome browser to work. Just add the IP address of any other camera.
I did exactly all things in this video but I am getting "Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic'ed (IllegalInstruction) ..." on serial port
What is the problem?
+Mübin Icyer Hi! This could be due to a weak or bad power supply. Also, replace all wires and switch spot on the breadboard!
Hi! Thanks for reply. I am using 5V 1.5A power supply. It is connected to only ESP32-CAM module. Nothing else is connected to 5V. Is 1.5A still weak?
I also used this power supply with default program in it. There was no problem.
@ They say in the video that it wants 5v 2A.
It worked thx! But I can't get more fps than 0.1 - 4fps even if I use QVGA 320x240 as resolution.
Has anyone got an idea how to fix it or what could cause the problem?
If I restart the cam I can get up to 30 fps but after 4 seconds its decreasing rapidly to 0-1
I have same problem
hey, am getting endless dots, no ip adderss, just ..........................................
Hi! The dots are indicating that it's trying to connect to your WiFi. Make sure you have put in the correct SSID and password. Note: both the SSID and the password are case sensitive. Also, make sure your are on a supported WiFi. Most are!
evans yomu look at the position of the resistor close to the antenna. Mine also would not connect to wifi, and proved to have the resistor connected to the external antenna connector. In that case you either resolder the resistor or buy an external antenna...
Brownout detector was triggered
Hi! If you have a look at the data sheet it specifies that it wants/need two capacitors between 5V and GND. A 0.1uF and a 10uF. Side note: 10uF might be a bit low of you have a weak power supply!
Small Issue with the power supply: If it requires 2A under 5V in order to work properly, how can you make it works with the MB102 (www.banggood.com/de/MB102-Breadboard-Module-Adapter-Shield-3_3V5V-For-Arduino-Board-p-996801.html?rmmds=home-mid-moreItems1&cur_warehouse=CN ) which can deliver maximum 700mA as output?
I ask this because I have trouble powering it with an external power bench.
Hi Sparalable! The 2A requirement is a max spec requirement. Meaning, when the LED is on full and outputting power on the remaining pins - and a little safety margin. If you have a look at the data sheet it specifies that it wants/need two capacitors between 5V and GND. A 0.1uF and a 10uF. Side note: 10uF might be a bit low of you have a weak power supply! (sorry for the late response, but UA-cam held you comment for review so took a few days to see it) - Mike :-)
I keep getting this error"A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header"
Did you connect IO0 to ground before programming?
@@Vindolin Mine is really goofy. I got it to program then work. Now when I connect just 5v and ground it doesnt like me.
Same thing happened to me. I seems that the SRAM chip is faulty. Looks at: github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/394 I think I'm finally going to give up.
conect to 3.3v and conect the gnd with the IO0 , after disconect this cable to try your IDE program
I have a problem with esp32cam when reinit with other frame_size and pixel_format. Who is can do it right?
Hi Aleksandr! What problems are you experiencing?
thanks for your reply, Bros! I did function Init_camera with configuration structure "config". Put this fuction in the loop() and try get frame every 5 sec, print to com-port "fb->len". My Esp32cam take a frame once and next step is error "camera probe failed..." and "guru meditation error..."
Void loop(){
Init_camera();
camera_fb_t* fb = null;
fb=esp_camera_fb_get();
Serial.println(fb->len);
esp_camera_fb_return(fb);
delay(5000);
}
Hi! The "guru meditation error" is often linked to a power supply problem (brownout). So I would focus on this first. Try replacing the power and make sure it can deliver enough amps, and fast. You can also try to add a capacitor. Not that "bad breadbords" or dupoint cables can also cause this problem.
If the camera probing still fails after you have "fixed" the power supply this can be an indication of a faulty connection. Make sure the camera is properly connected and the cable and wires in the cable is in good condition.
Let us know if this fixes the problem or if there is still an issue!
Thanks for your attention. It is no problem a power supply and cabels.
For myself, I found a solution in software reboot. At the first start, I take a grayscale photo, record flag in eeprom, reboot, skip the setup, and photograph in the loop in RGB.
The problem in repeat initialize camera. Maybe only for me :)
I can't get a frame rate of higher that about 1.5fps even at low resolution. Is there any way to increase it? It's horribly jerky and nothing like the demo in this video.
Hi! Have you tried tweaking the settings and turn off face recognition? Also, WiFi signal strengt is very important!
Also, make sure you are using a good power supply!
@@DIYTECHBROS I'm usion a bench power supply capable of 5A, but I notice that the ESP32 is only consuming between 90 and 160ma depsite the rumours it requires 2A.
@@MrRhfinch I think the 2A might be a worst case scenario. Although, I have seen the ESP8266 pull 800mA (peak). So using both "cores", turning on the LED and a connection peak it may not be that for fetched? But, never the less, 5A should be fine. Especially if you have added any capacitors? If none of the previous tips helps, I would add an issue on the Espressif GitHub.
@@DIYTECHBROS I've checked and it's not a signal strength problem. I'm now baffled and have ordered a new ESP32-cam so I'll see if that one works.

It can happen every now and then. Make sure your connections are good. If you are programming it on a bread board, try moving it to a new position. And retry :-) Common problem with weak jumper wires and bread boards.
@@DIYTECHBROS I had the same error, but I switched the power supply to a different power adapter and it worked. I'm guessing there was insufficient voltage in the first one.
2amps?!!!! I have to look this up for myself. when I Google it I keep seeing 5 v 180 milliamps flash off 5 volts 310 milliamps flash on....
Datasheets often tell you worst case scenarios. But even the ESP8266 requires spikes of almost 1 amp (see Andreas Spiess videos). But if you can handle it with capacitors or need a permanent 2 amps power supply is a different question.
It tells me my "sketch is too large."
Tristun Alekzander Make sure you select the correct board and board settings :-)
@@DIYTECHBROS I did, Wrover module. What other board settings are there? I'm also using a nano so is that the problem?
Tristun Alekzander Hi! You also have to select Partition scheme Huge App.
Tristun Alekzander Is there any reason why you are using an additional micro control? There is no need for any Arduinos :-)
@@DIYTECHBROS Ok I will try that tomorrow, thank you. And whaaat how else do I program it? What were you using to program it?
