An ESP32 camera (cam) can take pictures at 2MB per second rate and transmit them up to 200 metres using a small antenna on 2.4GHz. But when it teams up with an internet-enabled network it can do artificial intelligence (AI) related work as well.
In this project the ESP32 cam takes and sends the pictures to a remote computer that is connected to the internet, pulls the specified AI model, and analyses the object (model) to identify it. It then sends the object’s identity back to the ESP32 cam, which then executes the object-specific command entrusted to it.
