Community General Discussion

I'm getting error in my serial monitor

E (893) camera: Camera probe failed with error 0x105(ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND)
Camera init failed with error 0x105

what's wrong and how to fix it ?

Sounds like a faulty camera.

Try another.

so i should buy another camera and try again ?

There is a troubleshooting guide here which may help?

I have had a couple of the cameras fail so it is not impossible you just have a faulty camera. You can get wide angle lens versions of the camera now so it may be worth buying a different type replacement to try so if it does turn out the problem is not the camera you then at least have a useful alternative type camera in stock.

Perhaps speak to your supplier about that ...............

Are you sure your wifi SSID and PASSWORD are correct
These dots are usually when it is trying to attach to your wifi
