ESP32-CAM + USB Programmer (ESP32-CAM-MB) – OV2640 2MP, Wi-Fi/BLE, USB-C, CH340, 8MB PSRAM

Description

Build Wi-Fi camera projects fast with this ESP32-CAM bundle. It pairs the ESP32-CAM board (with OV2640 2MP camera and microSD slot) and the ESP32-CAM-MB USB-C programmer (CH340) so you can upload sketches by cable—no external FTDI required. Stream video, capture images to microSD, and integrate with IoT apps using the ESP32’s built-in Wi-Fi/BLE. The included 8MB PSRAM gives larger frame buffers for higher resolutions and more stable streaming. Ideal for DIY IP cameras, smart doorbells, remote monitoring, time-lapse, and vision demos.
