To get original code, in your Arduino IDE go to: File > Examples > ESP32 > Camera > CameraWebServer
Watch how it works https://youtu.be/MKiITEsOwRA
Unlike the original code, this code has LED control. WARNING: LED on the board doesn't have a current limiting resistor, so it gets very hot quickly, use it at your own risk. (I've used a separate LED module).
Uncomment these lines to set static IP:
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 4, 222);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 4, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
IPAddress dnsAdrr(8, 8, 8, 8);
Serial.println(F("Wifi config..."));
WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet, dnsAdrr);Camera available via http://192.168.X.X/esp32_cam_main
Additional features that I added:
- Wi-Fi signal level go to: http://192.168.X.X/signal
- To restart camera go to: http://192.168.X.X/esp32_cam_restart
Other stuff:
Stream URL: http://192.168.X.X:81/esp32_cam_stream
Get photo URL: http://192.168.X.X/esp32_cam_capture
P.S. I modified URLs, so just knowing the IP of the camera will not give you a video. (just a precaution for those who gonna scan your network)
Before it was http://192.168.X.X
Now it is http://192.168.X.X/esp32_cam_main
