Here are some demo videos uploaded to Youtube - timelapse and realtime - see the "junior" link above for details:

Lengthy Install and Operations Instructions here

Setup for use with motioneye here

This is a system for several camera to stream to a server to record, detect motion, etc. versus the standalone esp32 recorder

You also have to put your ESP32-CAM into programming mode (ground GPIO0 then power it on), and you must NOT have the Arduino Serial Monitor attached to the COM port.

After you have programmed the ESP32-CAM, you should get the config.txt file from here, open it with a text editor, and type in your ssid name and password, and then put that file onto an SD card and put it in the ESP32-CAM. Then when you boot the ESP32-CAM it will connect to your network, and you can click its ip to do streaming, take a series of still pictures, download the movies you have recorded to your browser/computer, and edit the config.txt file to different framesizes, timelapses etc.

Click Connect to connect to ESP32-CAM and view console or send the firmware -- make sure Arduino serial monitor is closed!

Here is a link to the config.txt file you should save onto your sd card with your ssid and password. The link below has comments to describe the fields in greater detail, or cut-and-paste this little window for the basics.


config.txt

desklens  // camera name
11  // framesize  11=hd
1800  // length of video in seconds
0  // interval - ms between recording frames 
1  // speedup - multiply framerate 
0  // streamdelay - ms between streaming frames
GMT // timezone
ssid1234  // ssid wifi name
mrpeanut  // ssid password
