Project: Local Camera Event Trigger - BOM, firmware, build notes

[polygoku]

Local Camera Event Trigger — MAKHEX build log

Current status: Blueprint, not an electrically or mechanically qualified kit.

Purpose: Detect a simple local image event without requiring a surveillance platform.

Candidate bill of materials

• 1x /esp32-s3-camera — Camera platform
• 1x /usb-c-power-kit — Stable supply

Proposed build milestones

1. Check camera driver compatibility for the exact board.
2. Validate local frame capture and memory use.
3. Implement a lightweight frame-change detector.
4. Log non-sensitive events only.
5. Add visible camera-active status and deletion.

Improve this guide

• Suggest validated supplier or component substitutions
• Share board revision and software environment
• Post reproducible firmware builds, wiring diagrams and measurements
• Document errors, successful tests and unresolved risks

Engineering caution: Do not present an unverified prototype as a safety or security monitoring product.

Please be specific and label unverified approaches.
