The is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller that combines Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capabilities with an integrated camera module. For motion detection, you can choose between a hardware-based approach using an external PIR sensor or a software-based approach using image processing. Motion Detection Methods PIR Sensor (Hardware-Based):
: Low power consumption (ideal for battery operation) and high reliability with fewer false positives. esp32-cam-motion-detection
: Includes a built-in MicroSD card slot for local storage of triggered captures. The is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller that combines
: When the sensor detects heat-based motion, it triggers the ESP32-CAM to "wake up" and capture an image. Video Motion Detection (Software-Based): The is a powerful
