M5Camera-X
SKU:U038
Description
M5Camera-X is an image recognition development board that integrates the ESP32 (4M Flash + 520K RAM + 4M PSRAM) chip and a 2MP camera (OV2640). It supports Wi-Fi image transmission and USB port debugging.
The hardware comes preloaded with firmware, developed using ESP-IDF programming, running a Wi-Fi camera application. The default program outputs an image size of 600 x 800, but you can optimize the program to output larger sizes.
How to use this program?
- Turn on the phone's Wi-Fi and scan to connect to an AP hotspot with a name starting with "m5stack-".
- Open the phone browser and visit 192.168.4.1 to enter the monitoring page and retrieve the live video.
- The video frame rate is about 5-6 frames per second.
Since the module can generate a Wi-Fi hotspot (AP), you can use a phone, PC, or other devices to wirelessly obtain camera images via Wi-Fi, or use the HY2.0-4P interface of the module to get camera images via a wired connection. It currently supports functions such as network camera, color recognition, and face recognition.

Note1
The PIN8 (PDWN) pin of the OV2640 chip is the enable pin. On this board, it is connected to ground through a 12KΩ pull-down resistor to enable and enter working mode. When the PIN8 (PDWN) pin is pulled high, it will enter Camera Power Down mode.
