The webserver camera can be designed in two versions. The first version described here can send real-time video over Wi-Fi. The author’s prototype is shown in Fig. 1.
The software code required for this webcam server is made in Arduino IDE. So, we first need to install the ESP32 to Arduino IDE by opening Preferences and pasting the following link there: https:// raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/ arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_ esp32_index.json
Next, open Board Manager, search ESP32 and install the board to Arduino IDE. After installing the latest Arduino IDE and selecting board for ESP32, if you go to “file→example→ esp32→camera→webserver” you will see the ESP32 webcam project, which is already available there.
Upload the code to ESP32 cam and search the address of ESP32 cam in the web browser. You can see the live video from ESP32 cam.
