ESP-32 CAM module + OV2640 2 megapixel camera

Already flashed with the latest Tasmota firmware.

The ESP32-CAM is a powerful development board with a camera interface and an integrated OV2640 camera with 2 megapixel resolution. It offers a variety of possible uses and provides you with extensive programming options to realize your IoT projects. No matter whether you want to implement wireless monitoring, QR identification, positioning or WiFi control - with this board there are no limits to your creativity.

The ESP32-CAM has a built-in WiFi and Bluetooth module that enables reliable wireless connectivity. Thanks to its low power consumption, it is also suitable for battery-powered applications. In addition, an integrated antenna socket increases the operating range and enables optimal signal transmission.

The board's pin strips are already soldered, so you can start your projects straight away without having to make any additional preparations. This saves time and makes it easier to get started with development.

Another interesting feature of the ESP32-CAM is the ability to use it as an access point (AP) and create your own WiFi connection. This allows users to remotely control the camera and receive image and video data without the need to connect to the Internet. This offers flexibility and expanded application possibilities for different scenarios.

Important note:

The ESP-32 CAM requires a stable power supply of 5V and at least 1A, otherwise crashes/dropouts may occur.

The ESP32-CAM is Set to use the internal antenna by default. To connect an external antenna, the internal antenna must be deactivated and the external antenna activated. To do this it is necessary to implement the solder bridge. We have already done this for you in our matching Set: The original resistor was removed and a new soldered connection to the external antenna was made.

Article description ESP32-CAM-MB:

The ESP-CAM32-MB board can be easily connected to a computer via the micro USB interface and supports the popular development environments Arduino IDE and MicroPython, Tasmota, etc. This makes programming the board accessible to beginners and experienced developers alike. Users can easily capture image and video data and transmit it over Wi-Fi or other networks.

For convenient operation, there are two physical buttons on the board: a reSet button and a download button.

The ESP-32-CAM module is simply connected to this board via the pin headers. Together they form a complete camera module that offers WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities and can be programmed directly via USB without the need for soldering or additional development boards.

Article description 3dbi antenna:

The 3dBi antenna optionally offered in the Set is ideal for improving wireless connections. With extended range, it offers stable connections without interruptions. Easy to install, the 3dBi antenna enables reliable and stable wireless communication.
