ESP32 Cam car

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:
Code: Select all#include "esp_camera.h"
#include <WiFi.h>

#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

const char* ssid = "--------";   
const char* password = "--------";   

#if defined(CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT)
#define PWDN_GPIO_NUM    -1
#define RESET_GPIO_NUM   -1
#define XCLK_GPIO_NUM    21
#define SIOD_GPIO_NUM    26
#define SIOC_GPIO_NUM    27

#define Y9_GPIO_NUM      35
#define Y8_GPIO_NUM      34
#define Y7_GPIO_NUM      39
#define Y6_GPIO_NUM      36
#define Y5_GPIO_NUM      19
#define Y4_GPIO_NUM      18
#define Y3_GPIO_NUM       5
#define Y2_GPIO_NUM       4
#define VSYNC_GPIO_NUM   25
#define HREF_GPIO_NUM    23
#define PCLK_GPIO_NUM    22


#elif defined(CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER)

Hello,

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