ESP-32 CAM module + OV2640 2 megapixel camera

The ESP32-CAM module with the OV2640 2-megapixel camera is a powerful development board for modern IoT and AI applications. It combines a compact design with high functionality and is the ideal platform for smart DIY projects, automation solutions, and edge computing.

Thanks to the integrated WiFi and Bluetooth module, wireless communication is possible without any additional hardware. The 8 MB of PSRAM also make the board suitable for more demanding tasks such as image processing and AI applications. An integrated antenna connector allows the use of an external antenna to extend the range. Pre-soldered pin headers ensure a quick and easy start – no soldering required.

With 8 MB of PSRAM, the ESP32-CAM is also well suited for demanding edge AI applications, providing a robust and flexible solution for your projects.

Possible Applications:

AI on the Edge: In combination with projects like “AI on the Edge,” the ESP32-CAM can be used for AI-powered meter reading (electricity, gas, water) – fully offline and privacy-compliant.

Wireless surveillance cameras (including motion detection and SD card storage)

QR and facial recognition for access control or automation

Smart home control via WiFi or Bluetooth

Outdoor applications thanks to optional battery operation and low power consumption

Image-based quality control in industrial environments

Wildlife observation / trail camera with motion detection

DIY projects with ESPHome or Home Assistant

Important NOTE:

The ESP-32 CAM requires a stable power supply of 5V and min. 1a, otherwise there may be crashes/dropouts.
