How to know ESP32s-CAM board model

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hello there,
below is the ESP32s-CAM model that I bought
6b27e7de5ac66b19d83e06aa1fd7206e8897df43_2_250x500
in CamerWEbServer example in Arduino IDE, while loading, I get “Chip is ESP32-D0WD (revision 1)” printed. so:

  1. Which module I should select in the code?
  2. Which ESP32 board do I've to select (Arduino IDE--> Tools-->Board..)

Thanks in advance.

Hello @ZX80,
I already followed that article, but the model used there is from Ai-Thinker, while mine is from Espressif
and he mentioned that I should uncomment the line of the camera model in the below code
// ===================
// Select camera model
// ===================
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT // Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP_EYE // Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S3_EYE // Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM // Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_V2_PSRAM // M5Camera version B Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_WIDE // Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_ESP32CAM // No PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_UNITCAM // No PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER // Has PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_TTGO_T_JOURNAL // No PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32_CAM_BOARD
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S2_CAM_BOARD
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S3_CAM_LCD

Have you tried Ai-Thinker ?

7

If you mean to uncomment the Ai-Thinker model---> yes I did it, but no way.
but If you mean if I tried the Ai-Thinker hardware --> no I didn't

8

I have the same model as in your picture, and it works perfectly with "Ai-Thinker " selected.

I have tried lots of ESP32CAMs, they all work under 'Ai-Thinker' too.

Espressif may well make the bare silicon module that is used to make the Ai-Thinker modules, but not sure how that would be relavent.

:+1:
and how about: Which ESP32 board do I've to select (Arduino IDE--> Tools-->Board..)?

So basic question;

Are there different versions of the ESP32CAM ?

I spent quite a long while writing image transfer software for LoRa using the ESP32CAM, so it would be useful to know if there were different 'versions' of the ESP32CAM.

I know it is a basic question, as I'm a newbie in this field.
[Rui Santos] in ESP32-CAM Video Streaming tutorial (ESP32-CAM Video Streaming and Face Recognition with Arduino IDE - YouTube ) he set the board to ESP32 Wrover Module, where in his Install the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE tutorial (Install the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE in less than 1 minute (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux) - YouTube) he set the board to DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1, and both are for ESP32 cam.

13

He says that the second one is a Devkit board not a camera board.

@ZX80 Sorry, I didn't notice that. So for ESP32S CAM I should use ESP32 Wrover Module as in the first tutorial
