In this video I run you through the process of me developing a fully-equipped ESP32-CAM-based Solar-powered WiFi Security (Surveillance) Camera from the ground up. Overcoming a handful of obstacles in the way along the journey of building the unit, after 3 months, I am proud to announce that I have succeeded!
Even though the camera can have more improvements done to really get the most out of it (Hardware-wise and with remote access features), it still has turned out to be a capable DIY security camera that can already do so much.

Purchase the Camera's 3D design files here: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/the-most-equipped-esp32-surveilance-camera-3d-model Also, please keep in mind that this security camera is only a PROTOTYPE and was made with the intent of potentially making it a product one day. I did not expect to make it a more viable solution to replace commercial CCTV camera systems (at least not yet). Much more would need to be worked on, still. Its prototype cost came out to around $380 USD, considering I hired overseas services and got everything at retail cost. If it were to be mass-manufactured, its overall (per-unit) manufacturing cost would drop by a LOT. I don't want to discourage anyone out there who wants to make something alike of their own, but I don't necessarily expect others to recreate the level of camera I have just made, as it was an experiment. However, if you do have a vision with what you choose to create and think you will end up with something that meets your needs, pursue it! Huge thanks to PCBWay and DFRobot for making this project possible! The camera works really well with its current features, couldn't have asked for a better outcome 😁

Very cool little project I must say. Something that could save you a bit of power and maybe alleviate some of the issues you had with the PIR's is Human Precence Microwave detection units like the RCWL-0516 mounted facing down could give you quite a wide area to pick up movement, and save some space too. But nice job.

Man, what an awesome project! These are my favorite videos to watch and to make! One thing I've noticed with 3D prints, especially when you have holes for switches and such, is sometimes widening the opening by 0.5 or 1 mm will make it so you don't have to sand down or chisel openings to fit parts. At some point it may make sense to print "fit guides" that have a grid of different sizes of features to make it easier to see what your 3D model will translate to when it's actually printed. Another option that I've done with bigger parts is to print out sub sections of the model in multiple iterations until I can get the right fit before finally printing out the overall component. I saw you mentioned intending to make this a product one day, that's really cool! I've always wanted to make a product some day too. Have you thought about making kits too? Whenever I see videos/posts of someone making something there's always a range of responses from people who want you to make the product and just buy it off of you, to people who want to buy a box with all of the parts so they can make it themselves, to people who just want a list of parts and they'll do the rest. I've always thought kits would be a cool, easy way to still sell the product. You can still buy components in bulk but you don't have to do any assembly yourself! Anyway, thanks for sharing your build with us!

@MaxImagination Год назад

Many thanks for your kind comment! Yes, I will definitely try to make fittings in my prints a millimeter or so wider next time to get the perfect fit. I have thought about making my own kits too, one day. This can be a plus as it reduces the amount of time I have to spend assembling the camera and let others do it if they want it in kit form. Others may one day be able to purchase it in assembled form too. Thanks for your insights! Best regards!

@nerddub Год назад

@@MaxImagination Don't use an entire millimeter. You can tune your printer a little bit and achieve tolerances of sub 0.25mm. I almost universally use 0.15mm on Radius or Linear Dimension for holes and openings from 1.5mm+

Cctv and coax cable have alot going for them. If you monitor the resistance on your coax shielding you can detect when someone taps the line. Its super safe and coax is practically scrap. Its just hard to find systems that still take coax. Personally i dont like any home security that runs on wifi. For anything. Like even using wifi to call the cops. If its got any kind of wifi bottle neck i cant accept it.

Interesting thought experiment and places like PCBway have made it easier for people. I find it interesting is how little security camera chips actually exist given the market and how cell phone cameras are different again. You could upgrade to 180 degree cameras giving your camera potential 360 view, and also you should get penertation testing done or do it yourself on the device (its all great as a camera but if it can be hacked by non tech kid down the street its pointless) Keep it up doesn't take much to get from where you are too produciton

Actually, the security camera survived a rough, rainy storm the other night while being mounted out in the open, still worked the next morning without a droplet of water inside! The camera can do even better resolution video than what I included in the video, however the frame-rate would turn out rather hacky. Fulfilled most of my expectations for just being a prototype.

Great work, looking forward to you synthesizing what you've just learned into V3. Given the ESPCAM is 5$ device and given it's lackluster performance, I think the entire device should be made with more consideration for the cost Recycled 18650 are more appropriate for such a project. You should run the entire camera in an oscilloscope to measure exact instantaneous power draw, I imagine current draw extremely high right now. The camera should sleep when not actively being looked at, awaken by timer and PIR movement The power control circuitry has certainly a lot of room for reducing idle and sleep current With a slip ring, you could probably have 360 degree rotation by putting the rotation (yaw) servo on-board. Many parts could be mounted without screws with just locking feature on the housing. Using ESPNOW you should be able to have remote trigger PIR sensors to wake up the camera with movement currently too far away. You should try to improve frame rate, possibly by lowering resolution and your wifi setup. It would make sense to dial image quality up and down depending on network condition and whether you are recording or streaming. Try reducing the number or screws and insert to 6 Replace silicon with o-ring to make re-assembly easier ESP cam is so cheap, have two sensor to switch between night and day on the CSI bus

Awesome Project! Somebody broke in my storage room and I was looking exactly for something like this. Do you think you could share the Step Files? Thanks again for the great video!!!

Very impressive. Taking something with that kind of complexity from nothing to a finished project... Won't lie... Makes me a little jealous lol

I appreciate it! 😁

Nice! A commendable achievement. How do you make the cooling fan intake waterproof?

@MaxImagination Год назад

Thank you! Fortunately in my case, thanks to the angled cooling vents, water doesn't tend to enter even when the camera is tilted slightly down. If you're concerned about water still coming in, a longer (protruding) set of fins might do the job.

Young man, I really enjoyed watching you put this project together. I do not know how old you are, however, I too was doing electronics at a young age and was nowhere near you level of expertise. Very good job and I would love to see more as well as have chats with you as I am very impressed with your work. What kind of work do you do and what are your plans for better work?

@MaxImagination 4 месяца назад

Thank you for your kind remarks, sir! I am 18 years old and started learning electronics at the age of 14 and still applying knowledge today. My plans for future work is what you currently see, but much larger. If you know, you know. Cheers!

Nice! That tilt servo is going to use a lot of power. I'd throw one of those smart servos in there. It will hold it's position when off much better than a hobby servo.

@MaxImagination Год назад

Hi, Jon! Thanks. I agree, I will consider this improvement when I come out with V3.0 in the future. Cheers.

@@MaxImagination Looking forward to it. I just noticed you made the DFRobot newsletter, congrats!!

Wow amazing project! I would add if someone steal it and try to connect to his pc you can know the location by ip and go into his pc(ruber ducky and reverse shell like)

@MaxImagination Год назад

Hi there. Thanks for your comment. Do you mean someone could hack my network only if they stole the camera and read my WiFi credentials? How does this work?

@tigreonice2339 Год назад

@@MaxImagination No, I mean if a thief steals the camera and tries to connect the esp32 to his pc or tablet, then you can know his location and also if it possible if you can take control of his pc

@jacobwilliamson8406 Год назад

This is an amazing video. Looks like you need to invest into a 3-D printer bamboo labs coming soon?

@MaxImagination Год назад

Thanks, Jacob! Will be investing in a 3D printer soon... The cost of producing these will drastically go down as well. Cheers.

@paulphillips3783 Год назад

Awesome. Great content, great project and superbly filmed and edited. Kudos. Typical electronics project - find the cheapest viable wifi camera on the market, then spend hundreds turning it into a fleshed out solution! Looks v. cool. Needs some high vis stripes down the side :)

@MaxImagination Год назад

Thank you, Paul! Will keep improving it :)

@parasmahajan3935 Год назад

Wow, it's a really awesome project on ESP cam and its interface with other sensors. I got inspiration from your first ESP cam video and made my own. Great work Max. If possible, can you tell me about your control interface on the IP address like how you made the interface, and those sliders and buttons on it to control the camera, please?

@MaxImagination Год назад

Thanks a lot, Paras! Great to hear you made your own ESP32-based camera device. If you watch my last video, you'll see I cover how to upload the Open-source code from a developer on GitHub to the ESP32-CAM to do all of these things with the camera. Cheers!
