ESP32 and a DSLP camera as an IP webcam

Kees_01 asked 3 years ago

Hello,
Is it possible to connect a DSLR photocamera (which has an usb output) wired to an ESP32 (which has an USB) and let the ESP32 send the picturedata via WIFI to a pc? So the combination works as an “timelapse” IP-camera.

Best regards,
Kees Schout

Hello Kees,
In theory it might be possible to do it, however the ESP32 can’t have those drivers installed to read the USB camera data… I would recommend using the ESP32-CAM board:
