  • ESP32-CAM is a compact size, low-cost dev board with a camera, making it extremely convenient for camera-based applications. Even though it offers fewer GPIO pins compared to other ESP32 boards, it performs exceptionally well for focused tasks where imaging and connectivity matter the most. In this project, we’ll put the ESP32-CAM to good use by capturing a clear image and sending it via email. For the sake of simplicity, we are going to use a push button to capture the image, but you can replace the button with any sensor and it will come in very handy when you want to take a picture remotely
