An expanded Arduino sketch turning cheap ESP32-CAM boards (especially AI-Thinker) into a webcam with a browser-based control interface, streaming viewer, lamp control, saved settings, and OTA firmware updates. It is now obsolete, requiring an old ESP32 Arduino core (2.0.2) and being archived in favor of newer alternatives.
Use cases
- set up a cheap ESP32-CAM webcam with a web interface
- stream video from an AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM module over wifi
- control the onboard LED lamp of an ESP32 camera from a browser
- save camera settings across reboots on ESP32-CAM
- update ESP32-CAM firmware over the air
- build a simple DIY security camera with ESP32
When to choose
- you are locked to ESP32 Arduino core 2.0.2 and want a ready-made webcam sketch
- you want a simple, well-documented ESP32-CAM stream viewer with lamp control
When to avoid
- you need face recognition or current features - use the 3.x branch or other projects
- you want active maintenance or support for recent ESP32 Arduino cores
- you need a production-grade camera solution
