Makerfabs focus on small batch PCB, PCBA solutions and provide efficient, high-standard services. We offer turnkey service for makers & start-ups to create the first prototyping board to mass production, including PCB, components sourcing, PCB assembly, soldering, programming, testing, case design, 3D printing, CNC, molding injection, packing & shipping, etc.

The ESP32-CAM board is a $7 device that combines an ESP32-S chip and an OV2640 camera. It allows you to set up a video streaming web server, build a surveillance camera to integrate with your home automation system, do face recognition and detection, and much more.

Besides the OV2640 camera and several GPIOs to connect peripherals, the ESP32-CAM also features a microSD card slot that can be useful to store images taken with the camera or to store files to serve to clients.

Note: to upload code to the ESP32-CAM board, you need an FTDI programmer, so you might consider getting one when you buy your board. Or you can get the best ESP32-CAM-MB Micro USB Programmer – CH340G Serial Chip.

For a quick introduction to the ESP32-CAM, you can watch the video below or read our full getting started guide: ESP32-CAM Video Streaming and Face Recognition with Arduino IDE. This guide shows you how to quickly set up a video streaming with face recognition and detection in less than 5 minutes.

The following video shows how to build a simple video streaming web server with the ESP32-CAM and how to integrate it with Home Assistant. For the written instructions, you can read our tutorial: ESP32-CAM Video Streaming Web Server (works with Home Assistant).

Learn how to take photos with the ESP32-CAM and save them in the microSD card by watching the following video tutorial. You can read our project page or the written instructions and code: ESP32-CAM Take Photo and Save to MicroSD Card.

In this project, we’ve built a motion sensor detector with photo capture using an ESP32-CAM. When your PIR sensor detects motion, it wakes up, takes a photo, and saves it in the microSD card. Read project page: ESP32-CAM PIR Motion Detector with Photo Capture.

Learn how to build a web server with the ESP32-CAM board that allows you to send a command to take a photo and visualize the latest captured photo in your browser saved in SPIFFS. We also added the option to rotate the image if necessary. Read project page: ESP32-CAM Take Photo and Display in Web Server.

Makerfabs has launched a 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen display with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity through an ESP32-S3 dual-core Tensilica LX7 microcontroller clocked at 240 MHz with vector instructions for AI acceleration.

This display offers a 320×480 resolution through the ILI9488 LCD driver, uses a 16-bit parallel interface for communication with ESP32-S3 clocked at up to 20 Mhz making it suitable for smooth graphics user interface, and the company also claims it is smooth enough for video displays, but more on that later.

Espressif Systems ESP32-S3 dual-core Tensilica LX7 @ up to 240 MHz with vector instructions for AI acceleration, 512KB RAM, 2.4 GHz WiFi 4 and Bluetooth 5.0 LE with support for long-range, up to 2Mbps data rate, mesh networking

Display – 3.5-inch color TFT LCD with 480×320 resolution, 16-bit parallel interface (ILI94988 driver), and capacitive touch panel (FT6263); backlight controller

The display can be programmed with the Arduino IDE. Sample code using the LovyanGFX library and EAGLE schematics and PCB layout can be found on Github. Makerfabs also designed an ESP32-S2 model that lacks Bluetooth connectivity, and the ESP32-S3 touchscreen display comes with more RAM and eMMC flash.

I was tipped about this display by Jon, a regular reader and commenter on CNX Software, who bought it, and said it works as advertised. The ESP32-S3 can really drive a high-speed display with a parallel LCD interface. However, it can’t stream video because there is no H.264 decoder, but it is great if you want a responsive GUI.

Makerfabs ESP32-S3 16-bit parallel capacitive touchscreen display is sold for $39.80 plus shipping, and the ESP32-S2 model is the same price with a resistive display, and there’s a capacitive display option for $4 more. As a side note, we previously wrote about another, smaller ESP32-S3 display, namely the LilyGO T-Display-S3, with a 1.9-inch display connected over a slower 8-bit parallel interface, and no touchscreen function that sells for around $17.

Jean-Luc started CNX Software in 2010 as a part-time endeavor, before quitting his job as a software engineering manager, and starting to write daily news, and reviews full time later in 2011.

Probably because of to low voltage under upload, you have to use 5 volt not 3.3 volt on your ftdi uploader. I made the same error and got same result as you did. After setting ftdi to 5 volt it worked fine.

I have updated the arduino IDE to 1.8.9 and ESP32 boards as per instructions, but cant find the problem. If you have any ideas I really appriecate it.

Hi Dan, yes I took Sara’s advice and selected the correct camera module in the code but commenting out the ones that don’t apply. I did also find reducing the upload speed made things more stable. I think my programmer is not the best.

Hi Dan, did you found the solution. I also purchase two units with different brand with same issue. (the first one have successed before but when retry to reupload the issue came).

Try all suggestions here by changing board selection, changging cable, changging programmer device, changging pins selection, try with different PC and all have same problem.

Any update on card sizes??? Brand name 4 GB cards are special order. When I find 4GB they are almost as expensive as 16/32GB sizes. Ebay takes forever anymore, and then you don’t know what you are getting. No name brand on Ali Express or Banggood.

Any way you know of to see the video stream or stills via a TFT display on another ESP through web browser or otherwise? I’ve used ESPNow between ESP12’s or 32’s for display of thermal cam images but they’re much smaller. Avoids need for phone or laptop tied up….

2. When I put it manually through extracting the zip file and moved it to my Arduino libraries folder, then compile the code, I got “no headers files (.h) found” error

Alternatively, if you have the latest updated ESP32 add-on, you should have the code in your examples. Go to File > Examples > ESP32 > Camera and open the CameraWebServer example.

I was looking for something like this for my recent project, Thanks! Great tutorial! But I think ESP32-CAM is “unofficial” combination of ESP32 with a camera. I think Espressif themselves released a dedicated “official” ESP32+camera board called ESP-EYE with their own “official” software library called ESP-WHO.

Have not tried that board myself. Can you make a tutorial on that as well since that is the “official” hardware and software and would have longer support from Espressif itself.

We haven’t fully tested the ESP-EYE yet. We’ve played with the example firmware that they provide and we made a blog post about it that you can read here: https://makeradvisor.com/esp-eye-new-esp32-based-board/

Try to check the cable, connections, power source … etc. If you can, try to measure the voltage that goes directly to the pins on the ESP32CAM board. It should be the closest to 5 Volt.

Thanks, it will be of great help, recently I was able to integrate my esp32 cam into an MQTT client library, every face detected a publisher is sent to the broker

Rolling back to the 1.01 core and using the example program belonging to that core, will ‘fix’ it (currently that is the program that Sara and Rui have on their Github

I’ve selected AI Thinker in the code and reduced the upload to 115200. Anyone have some insights? I have a M5Stack Camera which works pretty well with the code but these two are dead.

Hi! good tutorial!, I need to put the upload speed 115200 and the flash frequency in 40Mhz to avoid a Guru Meditation Error: Core 0 panic’ed (InstrFetchProhibited) error if someone have the same problem
