    Consumer grade WiFi hardware being able to decode down to "femtowatts" of signal strength might be a bit exaggerated, but e.g. the USB WiFi adaptor in this video has a receiver sensitivity of -99dBm @1Mbps which is approx. 100fW. If we count the directional antenna as part of the receiver and add the antenna gain to that figure (this part of the calculation is somewhat disputable), we get the less-than-femtowatts mentioned in the video.

    The camera recording code is based on igrr's esp32-cam-demo: github.com/igrr/esp32-cam-demo
    More speifically, I'm making use of the modified version by Oitzu with OV2640 JPEG support: github.com/Oitzu/esp32-cam-de...

    Dear author, would it be possible to publish 1) the final code that actually streams the jpeg data from esp32 with that one-way data stream and 2) some info how your notebook is able to receive it in that "monitor" mode? It would really-really helpful.. The published code (broadcasting some rickrolling SSIDs) is not really helpful to understand how the final project works. Thanks!

    IS this fake or real? Anyone done with proof?

    Awesome! I am currently tinkering with an ESP32 + Bluetooth Low Energy and am now very happy that I bought a few more than I actually need. Looks very promising and isn't even really 'done' yet.

    What a good test! That's a huge distance. Keep sharing with us your projects with Esp32.

    a video full of information. very nice. ive tinkered with 433 Mhz modules, but never came across all these formulas, which wouldve helped me a great deal

    wow i thought you have two of these antennas! Impressed how far the signal goes from the esp.

    that is damned impressive I would never have thought of this.. Well done fellows.. well done indeed!

    This great!. Most interesting part is the ONE WAY telecommunication via Wi-fi!. While watching the video i asked my self "but wifi is bi-directional... how can??" and then you answered the question !!! :)

    Also the conditions are really favourable because transmitter is on the hill. If terrain was flat, both receiver and transmitter would need to be raised high to to ensure the Fresnel zone is not obstructed. By the way it is possible to play with the polarisation of the signal by turning antennas 90 degrees to enhance the signal quality.
