5 of the Top 6 DOAs in Computer Components

5 out of 6 were DOA. 1 I could go to work. 1 DOA camera. Module 1, which actually works, is very slow. When I use the same program on another computer from a different vendor, it loads a full 5 seconds slower and about 10 times slower. Acquisition speed is terrible compared to a competitor's module. Getting a module that actually works to get into the bootloader is hit and miss. Lucky when it worked on the 4th or 5th try. Recommend coming from somewhere else.

Pros

High Compatibility: The ESP32 camera module has an integrated 520KB SRAM, an external 4MB PSRAM, and supports UART/SPI/I2C/PWM/ADC/DAC interfaces, OV2640- and OV7670 cameras with built-in flash memory, image upload via Wi-Fi, TF card, multiple sleep modes, STA/AP/STA + AP operating mode, one-click smart configuration or AirKiss distribution network, support for serial local and remote flashing

Cons
