🔍 Enhanced SEO: 2-Pack ESP32-CAM WiFi Bluetooth Development Board with OV2640 Camera Module Review

One unit has a bad camera module causing each ESP to get very hot and not work properly. The other block worked correctly except that it doesn't work. Works with any of my 5V USB power supplies (even a 2 amp amp). I connected it to a desktop power supply just to be sure. It goes into shutdown mode when used with 5V. At 5V it still wouldn't boot and the current draw was below my USB amps. I gradually increased the voltage until it was 5.4V when it finally overcame the under-voltage protection…

I was expecting the seller to provide the manufacturer's documentation so I could understand what this product can and can't do. There is no engraving on chipset board except ESP32-S, so you better search AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM on internet. Of the two modules I received, one did not work properly when flashed as instructed: the…

There were two ESP32 CAM controllers with cameras in the package and both worked, contrary to some reviewers who did not.

To do this, lift the black plastic locking bar (see photo) and feed the cable as low as possible so that when you push the locking bar down to lock the cable, the bar covers the white line on the cable connector. .
