ESP32cam with ov5640

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hi everyone, I just bought an ESP32 CAM board with an OV5640 camera. At first it worked out of the box in "broadcast" mode by connecting to its network at 192.168.4.1.

However I wanted to change a few things to make it stream through my local network. Now I'm struggling to make it work as I cannot clearly identify which model I'm using with CameraWebServer code.

Depending which model I choose, either I get a 0x105 error or the ESP32 is visible in the network but is caught in a loop in logs

Here is the model : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005006170120526.html?spm=a2g0n.order_list.order_list_main.60.bdd75e5bNznArF&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra#nav-specification

Do you have any idea which one it is and eventually how could I get to a camera streaming through my local network that motion-eye could handle ?

Looks like an AI-Thinker to me..

No idea on that one, never heard of motion-eye, sorry..

good luck.. ~q

Thank you for your quick response.

The idea is that motion-eye streams the camera MPEG stream and stores the videos, detects faces, ...
CameraWebServer seems to do the job but I'm stuck at setting the right parameters I guess.

With :

#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER // Has PSRAM

I get a 0x105 error. The camera is brand new and worked well before changing software.

You don't by chance still have original software..
it does look like an ai thinker but there are allot of clones out there..
error 105 means it did not find the cam..
i got one that's a little picky every once and a while starts throwing this error..
i then have to unseat the cam and re-insert it, then it starts working again..
be careful handling the cam, connector is pretty fragile, have to flip it up to unlatch the cam, then it pops right out, lay the cable back down and lock it in place..

curious, pics don't show it, what esp32 chip is on that cam??

sorry.. ~q

The chip is an esp32 DOWDQ6.

I tried to unplug and re-insert it but it shows the same error. The plug seems to be ok (no defects seen)
