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.
Specifications
- USB-UART Chip (MB): CH340
- Connector (MB): USB-C
- MCU/Radio: ESP32 (dual-core up to 240 MHz), 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE
- Memory: 8 MB PSRAM (typ.), 4 MB Flash (typ.) (varies by batch)
- Camera: OV2640, 2 MP, up to UXGA (1600×1200), JPEG/YUV/RGB; manual-focus lens
- Storage: microSD slot (FAT/FAT32; up to 32 GB SDHC commonly supported)
- LEDs: White “flash” LED on ESP32-CAM; power/status LEDs on MB
- I/O (ESP32-CAM): GPIOs incl. 0, 1, 3, 4, 12–16, 33 (availability depends on camera/SD use)
- Power/Input: 5 V via USB-C (on-board regulation to 3.3 V logic)
- Typical Current: ~160–300 mA during Wi-Fi + camera (higher with flash LED)
- Approx. Size: ESP32-CAM ~40×27 mm; ESP32-CAM-MB ~48×27 mm
- Development: Arduino IDE / PlatformIO (e.g., CameraWebServer)
Highlights
- Plug-and-Program: ESP32-CAM-MB with USB-C + CH340, BOOT/RESET buttons
- Camera: OV2640 2MP with flexible ribbon; onboard white “flash” LED
- Storage: microSD slot for photos/logs/time-lapse (FAT/FAT32)
- Connectivity: ESP32 with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (b/g/n) + Bluetooth/BLE
- Memory: 8MB PSRAM for larger image buffers and smoother video
- Expandable I/O: Breakout pins for GPIO, I²C, SPI, UART, PWM
- Works with Arduino IDE / PlatformIO (e.g., CameraWebServer example)
Notes (optional to include at the bottom)
- Component details (Flash/PSRAM size, USB–UART chip) may vary by batch.
- Use a quality 5 V USB supply (≥1 A) for stable streaming.
