🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Arduino IDE
• ESP32 board support (Install via Arduino Board Manager)
• Required libraries (WiFi, WebServer, esp32cam)

🔧 Setup Instructions

1. Open main.ino in Arduino IDE.
2. Replace the Wi-Fi credentials in the following lines:

   const char *WIFI_SSID = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID";
   const char *WIFI_PASS = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";

3. Select AI Thinker ESP32-CAM as the board.
4. Connect the ESP32-CAM and upload the code.

📡 Accessing the Web Server

After uploading, check the serial monitor for the assigned IP address. Use a web browser or API tool to request images.

🌐 API Endpoints

Endpoint	Method	Parameters	Description
/frame.jpg	GET	flash=true/false	Captures and returns an image. Default flash=false.

Example Request

http://<ESP32-CAM-IP>/frame.jpg?flash=true

🛠 Troubleshooting

• If the camera fails to initialize, check the wiring and power supply.
• If the ESP32-CAM does not connect to Wi-Fi, verify SSID and password.
• If necessary, install esp32cam in your Arduino IDE.
