## Description

The ESP32-CAM is a low-cost ESP32-based development board with an onboard camera (AF2569 as seen in image 4), that is small in size. It is an ideal solution for IoT applications, prototype constructions, and DIY projects. 
The board integrates WiFi, traditional Bluetooth, and low-power BLE, with 2 high-performance 32-bit LX6 CPUs. It adopts 7-stage pipeline architecture, on-chip sensor, Hall sensor, temperature sensor, and so on, and its main frequency adjustment ranges from 80MHz to 240MHz. 
Fully compliant with WiFi 802.11b/g/n/e/i and Bluetooth 4.2 standards, it can be used as a master mode to build an independent network controller, or as a slave to other hosts, and MCUs to add networking capabilities to existing devices.
[ESP32](https://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=ESP32)-CAM can be widely used in various IoT applications. It is suitable for home smart devices, industrial wireless control, wireless monitoring, QR wireless identification, wireless positioning system signals, and other IoT applications. It is an ideal solution for [IoT](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-194.html) applications.

**Notes:**

- Ensure your power supply can provide at least 5V 2A, otherwise, there can be artifacts appearing in your images.
- ESP32 GPIO32 pin is used to control the power of the camera, so when the camera is working, pull the GPIO32 pin low.
- Since the IO pin is connected to camera XCLK, it should be left floating in use, and do not connect it to high/low level.
- The product has been equipped with default firmware before leaving the factory, and we do not provide additional ones for you to download. So, please be cautious when you choose to burn other firmware.
- This board will need to be programmed via an [FTDI Connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-ftdi-starter-kit-5v.html) as it doesn't have an external port.
