I'm using this ESP32-Cam board: [Board](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0948ZFTQZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) and have chosen the AI Thinker ESP32-CAM board in the Arduino IDE.  
I've opened the example CameraWebServer sketch and it successfully compiles and uploads to the board.

However, I get the following error in the serial monitor:

_E (40) camera: Detected camera not supported._  
_E (40) camera: Camera probe failed with error 0x106(ESP\_ERR\_NOT\_SUPPORTED)_  
_Camera init failed with error 0x106_

I've tried the trick of holding the reset button when starting the connection but that didn't work, I have to think that this board is supported, any help would be appreciated.

This youtube video shows changing camera models in `board_config.h`

Thanks for that, that did the trick, I totally forgot to change the camera type 👍
