Product Description
The ESP32-CAM is unique because it includes 4MB of external PSRAM, which is essential for handling the large memory buffers required for image processing and web streaming. Even without a camera attached, this board functions as a high-powered ESP32 with mass storage capabilities via the MicroSD slot. It features a built-in LED flash (which can also be used as a high-brightness indicator) and an onboard PCB antenna, though it also includes an IPEX connector for an external antenna if more range is needed.
Key Features
Massive Memory: The 4MB PSRAM allows for complex tasks that standard ESP32 boards might struggle with, such as serving large web pages or processing data arrays.
Integrated SD Storage: The built-in MicroSD slot makes it easy to save sensor logs, configuration files, or captured media directly to a card.
Dual Wireless Stack: Supports WiFi for internet uploads and Bluetooth/BLE for local smartphone configuration.
Ultra-Compact Form Factor: Measuring only 27mm x 40.5mm, it fits into the smallest project enclosures and wearable devices.
Versatile I/O: Despite its size, it breaks out essential pins for UART, SPI, and I2C, allowing it to interface with a variety of external sensors.
