- Mon Dec 20, 2021 11:55 pm #93128 Hi there. I am currently using the ESP32 cam module to make a car which streams the live feed from the camera on the car to the Smartphone or laptop. Right now, I am having problems with the streaming. The robot car works properly but I cannot get the feed to work. It does not stream properly on my smartphone. Below you can find the code I used for this project:

What specific problem are you facing? Is the robot not streaming video at all? Or you are getting low quality video?
