[@EL34XYZ]

Thanks for this video! I spent hours trying to set up a ESP32 cam in Home assistant. Not one tutorial post I found said anything at all about having to load a .bin file onto the ESP32. I was able to get mine up and running easily using your video!

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Glad I could help.🙂

[@EL34XYZ]

@omeCircleWhich 160 degree lens did you buy? Ali has 650 nm and 850 nm choices. looks like 650 nm is the one you have?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

@@EL34XYZ I dont remember what focal length it is. But only know it is 160 degrees wide .

How to control its led?

[@nortonshields8405]

If you have multiple cameras do you have to go through all the steps or can you use the downloaded files again and again for each new camera?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

You can use the same binary. I dont see it any issue.

[@siru9949]

Hey, thanks for your tutorial. Unfortunately, I get an error message when adding it to the ESPHome integration in Homeassistant. It says: "No connection to ESP possible. Make sure that your YAML file contains an "api:" line.". Of course I have this line like you explained in your video. Do you have any idea what I can do?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

can you check if the "api:" section is with the proper indentation? Try copying the config from my article which is linked in the description.

[@kai3558]

my cam isnt turning on, having this issues, [E][esp32_camera:024]: esp_camera_init failed: ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND [E][component:113]: Component esp32_camera was marked as failed. any idea?

[@SmartHomeCircle]

Where do you get this log output? Frigate or ESPHome logs?
