If you've never used an ESP32-CAM before, you should watch this video first (ESP32 CAM Getting Started) : youtube.com/watch?v=ywSj8exHqdM

Download the Arduino code : drive.google.com/file/d/1qGnFZxuYNy4K8P-lV68kdzE7FvpyiiTh/view?usp=sharing

The code file is saved in the .rar file format. I created a .rar file using Winrar V5.50, so to extract it, make sure you use the same version of Winrar that I use or the latest version or use the winrar extractor online.

SORRY IF MY ENGLISH IS CONFUSING, I USE AN ONLINE TRANSLATOR.
