Camera Streaming projects

Camera streaming spans two distinct patterns in the catalogue. XIAO ESP32S3 Sense can host a compact camera web server directly from its OV2640-equipped microcontroller, making it useful for embedded previews and small experiments. MotionEye instead runs on Raspberry Pi 5 or Zero 2 W as a Linux network-camera service, better suited to managing a persistent camera installation. Neither route should be confused with on-device image classification: streaming moves pictures, while edge AI interprets them. Match the XIAO sketch to its camera pin configuration, or select a Pi-supported camera stack. Protect every stream with network access controls and avoid recording spaces or people without consent. Compare compatible devices, explore original projects and use the linked guides to get moving.
