ESP32-CAM Video Surveillance Robot

Build your own video surveillance robot and control it through the Internet with iPhone

Similar projects worth following
Imagine if you have a robot that has camera on board and can be controlled through Internet.

It would open a lot of opportunities of using it.

For example you could send the robot to the kitchen to check if you accidentally left the kettle on the stove!

I found that with ESP32-CAM it can be done easily.

Well-done project I have to admit. But I have a question: could I use this camera for biometrical identification with https://recfaces.com/ applocation or not? I think it should be an interesting security system.

  Are you sure? yes | no
