Build The Most EQUIPPED Security Camera with ESP32-CAM

Purchase the Camera's 3D design files here: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/the-most-equipped-e… Also, please keep in mind that this security camera is only a PROTOTYPE and was made with the intent of potentially making it a product one day. I did not expect to make it a more viable solution to replace commercial CCTV camera systems (at least not yet). Much more would need to be worked on, still. Its prototype cost came out to around $380 USD, considering I hired overseas services and got everything at retail cost. If it were to be mass-manufactured, its overall (per-unit) manufacturing cost would drop by a LOT. I don't want to discourage anyone out there who wants to make something alike of their own, but I don't necessarily expect others to recreate the level of camera I have just made, as it was an experiment. However, if you do have a vision with what you choose to create and think you will end up with something that meets your needs, pursue it! Huge thanks to PCBWay and DFRobot for making this project possible! The camera works really well with its current features, couldn't have asked for a better outcome 😁

dont worry. mistakes are only problematic IF you wont learn from them. anyone who learns from their mistakes should start making a lot! im serious.

Good Job, MAX! We are so proud to be one part🥳

Wow! After the long wait your camera turned out very nice. Props to u Max for a well designed job. Can wait to see more projects in the future.😎👌🏼

First time I've seen your channel. Amazing amount of dedication to the whole project from start to finish. All of that coupled with producing the video. As I'm typing this you mentioned "learning curve". You must have learned so much which will lead on to some great future projects. Cheers...

Dude!!! You're my hero!!!! Awesome project. This will be a great way for me to get introduced to the esp32. Keep these projects comin and I'll keep watchin!

Very cool little project I must say. Something that could save you a bit of power and maybe alleviate some of the issues you had with the PIR's is Human Precence Microwave detection units like the RCWL-0516 mounted facing down could give you quite a wide area to pick up movement, and save some space too. But nice job.

Absolutely perfect timing, just looking this kind of project up right now!! Great video

fantastic project. This is over-the-top use of ESP32 cam.

Man, what an awesome project! These are my favorite videos to watch and to make! One thing I've noticed with 3D prints, especially when you have holes for switches and such, is sometimes widening the opening by 0.5 or 1 mm will make it so you don't have to sand down or chisel openings to fit parts. At some point it may make sense to print "fit guides" that have a grid of different sizes of features to make it easier to see what your 3D model will translate to when it's actually printed. Another option that I've done with bigger parts is to print out sub sections of the model in multiple iterations until I can get the right fit before finally printing out the overall component. I saw you mentioned intending to make this a product one day, that's really cool! I've always wanted to make a product some day too. Have you thought about making kits too? Whenever I see videos/posts of someone making something there's always a range of responses from people who want you to make the product and just buy it off of you, to people who want to buy a box with all of the parts so they can make it themselves, to people who just want a list of parts and they'll do the rest. I've always thought kits would be a cool, easy way to still sell the product. You can still buy components in bulk but you don't have to do any assembly yourself! Anyway, thanks for sharing your build with us!

I have had this idea in my head for a while but wow you took it over the top its awesome! And you added battery power genius!

Probably the best and most complete project you've done to date, very good Max👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Cool video Max! I love the design!

Wow!! That’s amazing max!

Well done on all fronts! I especially like your various animations - stop action and pulling the parts out of the monitor screen. Got you a new subscriber.

Cctv and coax cable have alot going for them. If you monitor the resistance on your coax shielding you can detect when someone taps the line. Its super safe and coax is practically scrap. Its just hard to find systems that still take coax. Personally i dont like any home security that runs on wifi. For anything. Like even using wifi to call the cops. If its got any kind of wifi bottle neck i cant accept it.

Very nice project, you did a great job, and learnt a lot from any mistakes made. Looking forward to your next project

Amazing video, Max. Great work 👍

Great work. I look forward to what this will evolve into over the years. Definitely worth a subscribe!
