: Requires connecting a PIR sensor (e.g., HC-SR501) to a GPIO pin.
: When the sensor detects heat-based motion, it triggers the ESP32-CAM to "wake up" and capture an image. Video Motion Detection (Software-Based): esp32-cam-motion-detection
: Expect around 25 fps at VGA (640x480) or ~12 fps at HD (1280x720). : Requires connecting a PIR sensor (e
: Supports RTSP and SIP for live streaming to external servers. Implementation Guide Computer vision – Eloquent Arduino Blog : Supports RTSP and SIP for live streaming
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):
: No external hardware needed; allows for custom "detection zones" and sensitivity levels.
