₹501.00₹600.00 (-17%)
Overview
The ESP32-CAM is a development board designed for IoT and image processing applications. It integrates an ESP32-S microcontroller with dual-core Xtensa® 32-bit LX6 processors running at 240 MHz, making it capable of handling complex tasks efficiently. The board includes 520 KB of SRAM and an additional 4 MB of PSRAM, which are ideal for buffering images or videos. With built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.2 (BLE), it offers robust wireless connectivity for IoT devices.
Equipped with a 2MP OV2640 camera module, the ESP32-CAM supports multiple image resolutions, including UXGA (1600×1200), SXGA (1280×1024), SVGA (800×600), VGA (640×480), and more. Images can be output in formats such as JPEG, BMP, or RAW. The board also features a microSD card slot supporting up to 4 GB for local storage of images and videos. Its compact size of 27 mm x 40.5 mm and low weight of approximately 8 grams make it suitable for embedded applications.
The ESP32-CAM includes 9 GPIO pins for interfacing with external devices and peripherals, supporting communication protocols like UART, SPI, I2C, and PWM. A built-in PCB antenna or an optional external antenna ensures reliable wireless performance, and the board can be powered via a 5V DC input or a 3.3V pin. It features onboard security with WPA/WPA2 encryption, secure boot, and flash encryption, making it suitable for secure applications.
Ideal for smart cameras, robotics, and AI projects, the ESP32-CAM also supports deep sleep mode, consuming as little as 10 µA for energy-efficient operation. Its programming compatibility with Arduino IDE and Espressif SDK simplifies development. The ESP32-CAM is a cost-effective solution for IoT projects requiring image and video processing, providing excellent performance and flexibility.
