### Procedure:

1. Download latest ZIP file from https://github.com/espressif/esp32-camera.git into the esp32-cam subfolder

2. unzip using `unzip -j esp32-cam-master.zip` command. This will place all files in the same folder

   

   **NOTE:** please observe the `-j` flag: the sketch assumes all files are in the same folder. 



In **esp32-cam.ino** sketch select your camera pin assignment. 

The choices are:

- CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT

- CAMERA_MODEL_ESP_EYE

- CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM

- CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_WIDE

- CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

  

Compile the **esp32-cam.ino** sketch using the following settings:

- ESP32 Dev Module
- CPU Freq: 240
- Flash Freq: 80
- Flash mode: QIO
- Flash Size: 4Mb
- Partition: Minimal SPIFFS (or any other that would fit the sketch)
- PSRAM: Enabled



### Results:

I was able to run multiple browser windows, multiple VLC windows and connect multiple Blynk video widgets (max: 10) to ESP-EYE chip. The delay on the browser window was almost unnoticeable. In VLC you notice a 1 second delay probably due to buffering. Blynk performance all depends on the phone, so no comments there. 

This is incredible considering the size of this thing! The camera on ESP-EYE is actually quite good. 

### Enjoy!
