ESP32-S3 AI CAM Development Board Camera with Night Vision

This compact and powerful camera module offers you a combination of artificial intelligence, night vision capability, and voice interaction. It is based on the ESP32-S3 chip, which is specially designed for edge computing applications. With the integrated wide-angle infrared camera, you can capture clear images even in complete darkness. The module is perfect for smart door viewers, surveillance systems, toy robots, or smart glasses. The support of Edge Impulse, YOLO, and OpenCV allows you to easily implement image recognition, object tracking, or classification. Voice interaction is realized through a built-in microphone and a speaker, and it can even be combined with ChatGPT. This allows you to execute voice commands directly - without any internet connection if desired. Additionally, the module supports both Wi-Fi and BLE 5, enabling you to effortlessly achieve live broadcasts or controls via your smartphone. Whether you want to automate smart devices, build new IoT solutions, or simply implement exciting AI projects, with this AI CAM you have the right tool in hand.

Features:

• The module uses the ESP32-S3R8 chip, which is specialized in edge computing and neural networks.
• The integrated camera of type OV3660 offers 2-megapixel resolution, night vision, and a large 160° field of view.
• A built-in microphone and a speaker connection enable voice interaction and audio output.
• The camera module supports image processing and AI models directly on the device with Edge Impulse, YOLO, and OpenCV.
• Through Wi-Fi and BLE 5, you can wirelessly integrate the module into your existing IoT system.
• A light sensor allows automatic adjustment of the camera to different lighting conditions.
• Programming and power supply are done via a USB-C interface or via VIN with 5-12V.
