# s60sc/ESP32-CAM_MJPEG2SD

ESP32 Camera motion capture application to record JPEGs to SD card as AVI files and stream to browser as MJPEG. If a microphone is installed then a WAV file is also created. Files can be uploaded via FTP or downloaded to browser.

## What it is
An ESP32/ESP32-S3 camera application that detects motion and records JPEG frames to SD card as AVI files, optionally with WAV audio from a microphone, while streaming live MJPEG to a browser. It includes RTSP serving, FTP/WebDAV/HTTPS uploads, MQTT/Home Assistant integration, Telegram/Email alerts, and peripheral support like servos, sensors, and machine learning interfaces.

## Use cases
- record motion-triggered video from an ESP32 camera to SD card
- stream ESP32-CAM footage to a browser or NVR
- build a DIY security camera with audio recording
- integrate an ESP32 camera with Home Assistant via MQTT
- get Telegram alerts when motion is detected
- record time lapse or dashcam-style video on ESP32
- add RTSP video streaming to an ESP32-CAM project

## When to choose
- you want a feature-rich motion-capture security camera on ESP32 hardware
- you need AVI recording with synchronized audio on an ESP32-CAM
- you want Home Assistant, Telegram, or RTSP integration without writing firmware yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a simple minimal camera sketch without motion detection
- you are using a generic non-ESP32 camera platform
- you need high-resolution video beyond ESP32 hardware capabilities
