In this video guide, we get started with the $10 ESP32-CAM Development board (Camera) and set it up as a DIY Security Camera with the most well-developed Arduino (C/C++) Code that implements a user-friendly Web Server interface with loads of unique features.

The code we program the ESP32-CAM with implements a Motion Capture application to record JPEGs to an SD card as AVI files and stream to a web browser as MJPEG. Full code credits to "s60sc", ESP32-CAM_MJPEG2SD GitHub repository owner.
Download the full code HERE from repository on GitHub: https://github.com/s60sc/ESP32-CAM_MJ... ⬅️

With this extensive code, you can program for semi-advanced security cameras containing additional peripherals such as PIR motion sensors, a Microphone, bright Lamps, physical buttons for cam control, Pan and Tilt Servos, voltage divider for battery voltage monitoring, and the list goes on...
Though, to add all of these features to the already used up GPIO pins of the ESP32-CAM,
you will need to use a secondary ESP32 chip with the IO Extender code here: https://github.com/s60sc/ESP32-IO_Ext... ⬅️
