ESP32-CAM cant be used

I'm testing an ESP32-CAM that I recently bought and haven't used before. To test it, I am using Arduino IDE and the CameraWebServer example, I put the password and name of my Wi-Fi, also I changed to the camera that I think is the correct one (#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER).

When I disconnect GPIP0 from GND I receive the following message:

While if I keep them connected as when uploading code I get:

I do not know what can be the problem.

  • Confirm your code uploads properly.

  • After upload, press reset on the ESP.

  • I use AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM

I think the code upload correccty, i get:

I am pressing reset, thats messages appear after i press the buttom.

Im using this configuration:

According to the error message, the program was not able to find the camera. If you installed the camera yourself, as some ESP32-CAM kits require, then the flat camera cable is probably not seated correctly in the connector.

Disconnect and reconnect the camera cable, and try again (several times, if necessary). It took me a few tries to get it right, following an on line video that showed the process very clearly.
