Hi,
I bought a ESP32 CAM and try to upload sketch, there are too many pickings to pick one, how can I find out what exactly board I have?

ESP32 CAM MB ESP32 CAM Nodemcu WiFi Bluetooth Module ESP32 serial to WiFi ESP32 CAM Development Board OV2640 Camera Module 2.4G |Integrated Circuits| - AliExpress

Also, I tested the example of Camerawebserve, what should I fill in the :

const char* ssid = "*****";
const char password = “…”;

should I fill my home net info. ?

Thanks.

In the webpage there are all aswers to your qestions.

Thank you.
I did settings following that and uploaded the code.
I can’t get the IP address from the seircal monitor.
Maybe I didn’t fill in the SSID right? I was miss understood that the ESP32 CAM can set its-self’s WiFi system (AP), I saw ESP32… appear at my phone when search wifi list.
and some one used the ESP32 cam outside say drone, how can that need my home SSID?
Best.
