Hi.

I wanted your help regarding development of a wireless camera system using arduino. I have an arduino ESP32 and an arduino Nano. I wanted to make a wireless system that could control an old smartphone camera that I have (Realme XT camera module) with an arduino using WiFi/ Bluetooth and that could display the live images from the old smartphone camera wirelessly on my new smartphone.
Please help me out in designing the electronic circuit and the arduino sketch and the technique to control the live images on the smartphone.

Have You got the software needed in the phone?

Actually I don't have any application on my smartphone thay could control the old camera's images. Need help in that aspect also.

Then Your question falls outside my territory.

Why bother with the old smartphone camera, when you can get the works-out-of-the-box, wireless ESP32-CAM for the price of two cups of cappuccino?

Actually, my work requires the use of an external, good-quality camera that is found in a smartphone. For that reason, I am not considering the ESP-32 Camera module.

You can take pictures with the camera of an old phone and upload them to the Net, from where you can view them on your smartphone
In this case, I don’t quite understand why you need a esp32, and, especially, arduino Nano

What is your plan for interfacing to the smartphone camera and acquiring images?

Do you have the required connector?

Is it question to me or to OP ?

No, of course not.
