In this video, we make an ESP32-CAM Arduino-based Homemade WiFi Surveillance Camera under $20 that even runs off a battery!
As this project may seem quite technical, software-wise I can say it sure is, though I do hope from my step-by-step tutorial you'll get yourself an ESP32-CAM, be able to make your own WiFI CCTV cam for cheap, and monitor your home/environment in a "DIY" way.
In case you're curious about the camera's power consumption, the ESP32-CAM draws around 0.75 Watts or less and lasts running for about 24 hours on a 4400mAh battery pack

❗ Important updates regarding uploading the code ❗
Firstly you must make sure of the following:
• Once you have downloaded & unzipped full code, copy and paste config files from the data folder to MicroSD card.
• Check that your esp32 boards library is up to date, update if it's not v2.0.2 or above.
• WiFi credentials from now on must be entered in "utils.cpp" tab and not "myConfig.h".
• Select "ESP32 Dev Module", partition scheme "Minimal SPIFFS (1.9MB OTA/190KB SPIFFS)", enable PSRAM.
❗ All of these important steps mentioned have to be followed since the recent (2022) update to this code. ❗

Thanks to GitHub repository admin @s60sc and also @nnjim for helping out not only myself with getting the camera's code's misunderstandings resolved but also for all viewers here and people who would also want to recreate this project.
