Hi,
I have ESP-eye.

Once i Connected the board with my laptop, ESP-EYE is getting heated up.

I flashed Camera_Web_Server from ESP-WHO Example. Video Streaming was working without any hanging.

Only Problem is the Board is getting Heated up.

Can anyone please. advice

How 'heated up' are we talking about here? '5 degrees of rise above ambient' heated up, or 'if I stream any longer my PCB will go up in flames' heated up?

The board heat is increasing approximately 8 degree Celsius form the ambient temperature.

I was flashed hello_world example. This is case there is no heat in the board.

After i flashed Camera_Web_Server example, then the board is started heating.
But Video streaming is working fine.

We have totally 4 ESP_EYE kit. I checked all of them having same problem.

Hi,
This "heated-up" problem has been noticed since we developed our image recognition solutions. Unlike the "hello_world" example, AI applications make the chip CPU run intensively, which generates heat.
Maybe you can try some external/physical ways to deal with it, for example, adding cooling fin, try not to touch it when it's working, or wrap it with some kind of shield)
