Wi-Fi Camera for RC car

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi everybody,

I bought an RC car for my son. The car is big enough to integrate the camera. I want to connect to that camera from the smartphone and get a video stream.

I'm good at software development but know nothing about Arduino and electronics.
Please advise me on what I need to buy for such a solution.
As I understand the base can be an esp32-cam board, perhaps I need a good camera, battery, wi-fi module, antenna, and something else?

I want to prepare a board with modules and hide it in the car then set up the camera on the bumper or windshield.

I saw that I can buy already assembled small Wi-Fi cameras but I want to try to assemble my own solution, perhaps in the future, I will decide to add some sensors.

the ESP32-CAM has WiFi and Bluetooth on board
it could run an access point and HTTP web server - you connect your phone too it
if you do a web search for esp32-cam web server you will get plenty of links

Consider using a Drone camera/transmitter and receiver. Many drone apps show the drone camera on phones. Mine does.
