How to connect the ESP32-cam to a Arduino mega directly without wireless communication?

Hi, I'm new to the ESP32-cam module and I don't know how to connect the ESP32 cam to the Arduino mega directly and how to program it. It's for my project, what I wanted to do with it is to detect different items for example( if the cam detects a water bottle, it communicate to move something like a servo controlled by the Arduino mega).I would appreciate if anyone could answer my question.

Thanks in advance.

As I got it the ESP32 CAM is a 3.3 volt device that **should not ** be connected directly to a 5 volt Mega. Level shifters are needed between them.

Asynchronous serial.

Hi! Welcome to the Forum!

I can´t tell you much on the object recognition part, but the ESP32 CAM has a couple of available GPIOs that you can use to control a servo. So, there´s no need to add another MCU (like the Mega), unless you have many other things besides the servo.
