esp32cam-ready

esp32-ready cam combines other projects to have an out-the-box solution to use the Chinese (7 Euro!) esp32cam module. Suggestions and bug fixes are welcome!

Usage

Download the repo, open it in PlatformIO and flash it to the esp32cam. The device should become available as an accesspoint with the name esp32cam-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where the xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the MAC address of the device. The default password for the device as accesspoint is espcam32#. Next, connect to the accesspoint and configure the ssid/password in the browser on on the address http://192.168.4.1. When the credentials are valid and the device connects to the infrastructure, the device can be accessed over http using the link http://esp32cam.local (or the local ip address) from your browser.

RTSP stream is available at: rtsp://esp32cam.local:554/mjpeg/1

Using the browser, you can

• Take a snapshow
• Stream video
• Turn the light on/off
• Remove the Wifi configuration.

Installing and running PlatformIO

Install platformIO (Debian based systems)

 sudo apt-get install python-pip
 sudo pip install platformio
 pio upgrade

for Windows and Linux/Max users, install (Visual Studio code)[https://code.visualstudio.com/] and install the PlatformIO plugin. For command line usage Python and PlatformIO-Core is sufficient. More information can be found at: https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html

Clone this repository, go into the folder and type:

 pio run

Put a jumper between IO0 and GND, press reset and type:

 pio run -t upload

When done remove the jumper and press reset. To monitor the output, start a terminal using:

 pio device monitor

Credits

Esp32cam-ready depends on PlatformIO and Micro-RTSP by Kevin Hester.

esp32-ready basically extends the Micro-RTSP with mutiple client connections and adds an easy to use web interface that offers provisioning.

Thanks for the community making these tools and libraries available.

Also thanks to EspressIf and the guys that created these modules!
