ESP32-CAM, socket.io, node.js

2022.08.

This project based on

• ESP32-CAM fastest way to stream video output to nodejs server with socketIO
• Inglebard/esp32cam-relay
• timum-viw/socket.io-client

Main goal

Create simple Survillance system with multiple ESP32-CAM modules. Some other great projects, like Easytarget Camera Webserver are very usefull, but I neede some extra functionality like:

• more camera
• React on client side
• etc

CameraWebServer

Arduino sketch with the following features:

• custom hostname
• IP last segment as hostname extension --> used on server and client side

extended function

bool sendBIN(uint8_t *payload, size_t length, char const* eventName, char const* hostName, bool headerToPayload = false);

Client

• Simple node.js responded html file
• React app

Server

Node.js server with socket.io

TODO

• Client rewrite into React. --> done
• Server side
  • send to connected clients the camera id-s (ESP32CAM- < IP >) --> done
  • Authentication
• Sketch:
  • config page in AP mode
    • save config to sd)
    • add name (like: Livingroom)
  • MQTT optional send connected cam name and ip address
  • Authentication
