: Typically comes with the OV2640, supporting up to 1600x1200 resolution.
: Expect around 25 fps at VGA (640x480) or ~12 fps at HD (1280x720).
: Requires connecting a PIR sensor (e.g., HC-SR501) to a GPIO pin. esp32-cam-motion-detection
The is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller that combines Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capabilities with an integrated camera module. For motion detection, you can choose between a hardware-based approach using an external PIR sensor or a software-based approach using image processing. Motion Detection Methods PIR Sensor (Hardware-Based):
: Includes a built-in MicroSD card slot for local storage of triggered captures. : Typically comes with the OV2640, supporting up
: Low power consumption (ideal for battery operation) and high reliability with fewer false positives.
: When the sensor detects heat-based motion, it triggers the ESP32-CAM to "wake up" and capture an image. Video Motion Detection (Software-Based): The is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller that combines
: Uses libraries like the Eloquent Arduino library to compare consecutive frames for pixel changes.
