IoT Surveillance CCTV Camera using ESP32 CAM & Blynk

Overview: ESP32 CAM Video Streaming Over Internet

 

In this tutorial, I will let you know how to make your own wireless video streaming device in which you can stream that live video on the internet from anywhere in this world using the ESP32 CAM board and blink IoT platform. Hence, today's topic is all about making IoT based Surveillance CCTV Camera using ESP32 CAM & Blynk cloud.

 

Components Required

 

Following is the list of the components for making an IoT based Surveillance CCTV Camera using ESP32 CAM. You can purchase all the components online from Amazon.

 

ESP32 CAM & FTDI Connection

 

For programming the ESP32 CAM board, you need USB-to-TTL Converter Module or an FTDI Module. So, Connect the FTDI Module with ESP32 CAM using the circuit diagram provided below.

Connect the 5V & GND Pin of FTDI module to 5V & GND of ESP32 CAM. Similarly, connect the Rx to UOT and Tx to UOR Pin. And the most important thing, you need to short the IO0 and GND Pin together. This put your ESP32 CAM Module into Download Mode. Once programming is done, you can remove it.

 

Note: So this is conversion of my previous project in which I could stream the live video within the local area network. So today I am trying to make this accessible over the Internet so that I can stream that live video from anywhere in this world.
