Timed out waiting for packet header -- no reboot button.....LOST

Hi there,
I am new to the ESP32, and am having a great deal of difficulty getting this thing to work. I configured arduino to recognize the ESP-32 board, but I can't run any of the example sketches because, well, first off: I can't even tell what model of board this is. On the front it says ESP-32-CAM. Okay, that sounds simple enough, but there is no ESP-32-CAM listed in the boards that get loaded into arduino. Searches on google using the following informtion have procured no solid answer: again, on the front it says ESP-32-CAM, and in less visible lettering, it says 8E02. On the chip housing, it says: ESP-32-S. All my internet searches point back to the AI-thinker model....but it doesn't say that on the board, and it also doesn't work when I uncomment that section in the arduino sample code and try running the ESP-32-.Camera->CameraWebServer code. Nor can I get the very simple WifiScan code to work. In all cases, the error message it spits out is: FATAL ERROR TIMED OUT WAITING FOR PACKET HEADER. All my troubleshooting searches have led me back to the same answers, which did not work, that being that I need to hold the reboot button down while I am uploading code to the board. There is no REBOOT button Just a button on the left marked RST, I assume for reset. I have included an image of the board. I am using an FTDI adapter, and have tested the connections. There is power, so...can anyone point out what I might be doing wrong?
