This project allows you to create a WiFi-connected camera server using an ESP32 board and camera module. You can view the live camera feed from your web browser on any device connected to the same local network.
Easy Setup: Simple configuration process using familiar Arduino IDE.Web Interface: Access the camera feed directly from your web browser.LED Status: Red LED blinks during WiFi connection and stays off when connected.
- ESP32 board
- ESP32 compatible camera module
- Breadboard and jumper wires (for connecting components)
- Arduino UNO Board
- Arduino IDE
- esp_camera library
- WiFi library
Connect the Camera Module:
Refer to your camera module's datasheet for specific pin connections to the ESP32 board.
Configure WiFi Credentials:
In the code main.ino, replace wifi_ssid with your WiFi network name and wifi_pass with your WiFi password.
Upload the Code:
Open the main.ino file in the Arduino IDE.
Select your ESP32 board and upload the code.
Connect to WiFi:
The ESP32 camera server will attempt to connect to your WiFi network. You'll see the red LED blinking during this process.
Open Web Browser:
Once connected, the serial monitor will print the local IP address of the ESP32. Open a web browser on any device connected to the same WiFi network. Enter the printed IP address in the address bar and press Enter.
View Camera Feed:
You should now see the live video feed from your ESP32 camera module in the web browser window.
If you encounter issues connecting to WiFi, double-check your WiFi credentials and ensure your ESP32 is within range of the router. For camera-related problems, verify the camera module connections and consult the module's datasheet for troubleshooting steps.
