ESP32-CAM with ESP32-CAM-MB Programmer & OV2640 Camera

The ESP32-CAM combines an ESP32 with 4 MB PSRAM, an OV2640 2-megapixel camera and a microSD slot on a board barely larger than a stamp. The included ESP32-CAM-MB base adds a USB port and automatic boot/reset, so you upload sketches without wiring an FTDI adapter. Flash the CameraWebServer example and you have a live video stream in your browser; add face detection, motion-triggered photos or a Telegram bot from there.
