Project Details
How It Works
How It WorksThe ESP32-CAM connects to a Wi-Fi router and runs a web server. It streams video over the local network to any web browser. Motion detection is implemented using the camera's image processing capabilities. When motion is detected, the system can automatically capture and save images to an SD card. The system can also trigger optional alarms via relays or buzzers. All processing happens locally on the ESP32-CAM, ensuring privacy and reducing latency.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Arduino programming, understanding of Wi-Fi networking concepts, familiarity with microcontroller programming, and experience with ESP32 or similar platforms. Users should also understand local surveillance laws and privacy considerations.
