ESP32CAM_RTSP

A network camera project using ESP32-CAM and RTSP protocol with Python-based video processing capabilities.

Features

• Real-time video streaming using RTSP protocol
• Video reception and processing with Python
• Face detection using OpenCV

Requirements

Hardware

• ESP32-CAM
• USB-TTL Serial converter

Software

• Arduino IDE 2.0 or later
• Python 3.8 or later
• OpenCV 4.0 or later

Setup

1. ESP32-CAM Configuration

   // Configure WiFi settings in wifi_config.h
   const char* ssid = "Your_SSID";
   const char* password = "Your_Password";

2. Programming ESP32-CAM

   • Open esp32_rtsp.ino in Arduino IDE
   • Set board to "AI Thinker ESP32-CAM"
   • Connect ESP32-CAM in programming mode
   • Upload the sketch

3. Python Environment Setup

   pip install opencv-python

Usage

1. Power up ESP32-CAM
2. Check IP address in Serial Monitor
3. Configure RTSP URL in Python script

   RTSP_URL = f"rtsp://{ESP_IP}:8554/mjpeg/1"

4. Run Python script

   python view.py

Troubleshooting
