SunFounder ESP32 Starter Kit
1.51 8.8 Camera with Home Assistant
This project will guide you in setting up a video stream web server for the ESP32 camera and integrating it with the
popular home automation platform, Home Assistant. This integration will allow you to access the server from any
device on your network.
Note: Before diving into this project, you need to have an operating system with Home Assistant installed.
We recommend installing the Home Assistant OS on a Raspberry Pi.
If you don’t have a Raspberry Pi, you can also install it on a virtual machine running on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
For installation instructions, refer to the official website link: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/
Please proceed with this project only after successful installation.
