ESP32 cam

Postby Malakian » Thu May 11, 2023 12:17 am

Hello,

I'm asking for your help about the esp32 cam module.

My aim is to use a little camera in my garden et watch the stream through MotionEye.

The problem comes from the esp32 cam module.

To be honest, I thought it will be easy by watching tutorials but in fact it is not.

I bought a set of two. They are from Diymore brand.

Chip Info:
- Chip Family: ESP32
- Chip Model: ESP32-D0WDQ5-V3 (revision 3)
- Number of Cores: 2
- Max CPU Frequency: 240MHz
- Has Bluetooth: YES
- Has Embedded Flash: NO
- Has Factory-Calibrated ADC: YES

My approach is described below.

1) Connect the esp32 cam to a programming interface (it was sold with the module)
2) Connect all to an usb port of my pc
3) Download the firmware tasmota32-webcam.bin
4) Launch the ESP_Flasher software
5) Install the firmware on the esp32 cam
6) Connect the pc to the esp32 cam access point
7) Go to esp32 cam page (192.168.4.1)
8) Fill in the domestic wifi parameters
9) Connect to the esp32 cam via the domestic wifi network
10) Go to "Configure other"
11) Change the template by the one fond on https://templates.blakadder.com/ai-thin ... 2-CAM.html
12) Activate and save
13) Relaunch the esp32 cam

I can do all theses operations but if I use the last firmware version (12.5.0), I have no video from the camera (0 fps).

I I use another firmware version (12.4.0), I can have a video from the camera but it freezes in a very few time or the frame rate is very low (1 fps).
Moreover, I have no video settings possibilities on the module web interface while it can be done on the tutorials I saw.

Can someone help me to make it work ?

Subsidiary question : I managed to flash on windows but it's impossible on Ubuntu, I can not get the port.
