I have been using the ESP32-CAM Ai-Thinker board to run the CameraWebServer.
When I click buttons like Get Stll, Start Stream, Face Detection and Face Recognition, they change color indicating they have been activated.
However, the button Enroll Face does NOT change, so I don’t know if that is why I can’t get Face recognition to work.
Nowhere am I able to find instructions on exactly how to use the program to do Face Recognition.
When I click Face Detection, I see a yellow square around my face with 5 dots (2 for eyes, 1 for nose, 2 for mouth).
When I click Enroll Face, I don’t see anything to indicate success or failure for that matter.
How does one use this program.

Hi Ray.
Recently that program was updated with the ESP32 core.
They changed the program so that it only runs face detection on ESP32-CAM boards with the S3 chip.
So, if you’re using an AI-Thinker, it currently doesn’t work anymore due to the update.

Sara,
Sorry but I had the question all messed up.
I know Face Recognition won’t work on boards without the S3 chip.
Here is what I meant to ask:
I have a Freenove ESP32-S3-WROOM board.
I tried the camera prog. from your tutorial with the Freenove board without success and I also tried the camera prog. from Freenove’s tutorial with their board and also no success.
When I say no success, I mean I saw no evidence of the Face Detection/Recognition working — I saw NO YELLOW boxes around my face.
Naturally, I made sure I had the correct board selected in the IDE before compiling and uploading.
Both programs seem to identical interfaces for the user to operate them.
I suppose the programs come from the chip manufacturer Espressif?
Do you know for sure of a board with the S3 chip that will actually work?

Hi.
I’m not sure. If that board comes with the S3 chip, it should supposedly work.
However, I’m not sure if you need to enable any settings or uncomment any definitions on the example code.
Try to enable face recognition manualy on the app_httpd.cpp file.

Sara
