I am trying to use the Example ‘CameraWebServer’ but with the WSP32-CAM board acting as an Access Point so I can go from the ESP32 directly to my PC without router or smartphone.
I got the basic example to run but my smartphone must have the WiFi turned on so my PC can connect.
It would be cool if the ESP32-CAM was a HotSpot in this application.
I have All your books, there Great!

Hi Dave.

It’s very easy to do that.

Basically, choose an SSID for the ESP32-CAM and a password, for example:

const char* ssid = "ESP32-CAM";
const char* password = "123456789";

Then, in the setup() set the EPS32 as an access point:

WiFi.softAP(ssid, password);
IPAddress IP = WiFi.softAPIP();
Serial.print("AP IP address: ");
Serial.println(IP);
startCameraServer();

Remove the other lines of code that connect to wi-fi.

And that’s it. I’ve tested and it works fine as an access point.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need further help.
