ESP32-CAM Camera Module

ESP32-CAM Camera Module ESP32-CAM Pinout

The ESP32-CAM is a small-size, low-power camera module based on ESP32. It comes with
an OV2640 camera and provides an on board TF card slot. This board has 4MB PSRAM which
is used for buffering images from the camera into video streaming or other tasks and allows
you to use higher quality in your pictures without crashing the ESP32. It also comes with an on
board LED for flash and several GPIOs to connect peripherals.
The ESP32-CAM is a full-featured microcontroller that also has an integrated video camera
and micro SD card socket. It’s inexpensive and easy to use, and is perfect for IoT devices
requiring a camera with advanced functions like image tracking and recognition.
The sample software distributed by Espressif includes a sketch that allows you to build a web-
based camera with a sophisticated control panel. After you get the hang of programming the
device you’ll find that it is very easy to use.
Not bad for a board that costs about ten dollars, including the camera!
