ESP32-CAM Camera Development Board OV2640 /OV3660 Camera Module

The ESP32-CAM is a high-performance, ultra-compact development board that combines the power of the ESP32 chip with a video camera module. Designed for the next generation of IoT applications, this board offers a complete solution for smart surveillance, wireless imaging, and AI recognition projects in a small DIP-packaged form factor.

Powerful & Efficient Core

At its heart lies a low-power dual-core 32-bit CPU capable of running up to 240MHz. With built-in 520KB SRAM and an external 4MB PSRAM, the ESP32-CAM handles image processing and streaming with ease, making it superior to standard ESP32 modules for video tasks.

Wireless & Storage Versatility

This module features integrated 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth BLE, ensuring robust wireless connectivity. It supports multiple networking modes (STA/AP/STA+AP) and features a specialized TF card slot for storing images and video locally, eliminating the need for constant cloud uplinks.

Key Features

• Dual-Core Power: Low-power 32-bit CPU, 240MHz frequency, 600 DMIPS computing power.

• High-Spec Memory: Integrated 520KB SRAM + 4MB external PSRAM for stable video streaming.

• Camera Versatility: Comes with either OV2640 or OV3660 camera module (subject to availability).

• Rich Interfaces: Supports UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC, and DAC for versatile sensor connection.

• Easy Setup: Supports Smart Config / AirKiss one-click network distribution.

• Firmware Support: Capable of local serial upgrade and remote firmware upgrade (FOTA).
