ESP32 and ESP8266 boards together with Telegram are a great combination. You can send data to your smartphone at lightning speed and control your microcontroller from there.
In this project you create a camera trap that snaps as soon as someone moves in front of the camera. Then it takes a photo and sends it immediately to your smartphone.
For this project we took a sketch of Random Nerd Tutorials as a starting point and expanded it. Rui Santos uses the ESP32-CAM to save a photo on an SD card when he moves.
We have modified the design and code so that your board sends the photo to your Telegram-Bot, i.e. to your smartphone, as soon as motion is detected.
Read here on Pollux Labs how to set up the camera trap, which code you need and how it works.
