#iot camera

I turned off all the lights. Complete darkness. Couldn't see my hand in front of my face. Then I triggered the camera. A few seconds later, my phone buzzed. A photo appeared in my Telegram inbox…

Then I got my hands on the DFRobot DFR1154 ESP32 S3 AI Camera Module. I unboxed it. Hooked it up. And I was genuinely surprised. This little 42mm x 42mm board doesn’t just take pictures—it has night vision, an onboard microphone, a speaker amp, and enough processing power to run AI models locally .
