3D model description

I created this $10 IP Camera which allows you to use it for Octoprint (Or just a security camera) instead of a wired USB camera. USB has a limit of the number of web cams it can support with the bandwidth of the USB Bus. This IP Camera does not have that limitation and works perfectly with Octoprint.

I have a complete how-to video on how to get it running here https://youtu.be/6qiH1BRwUeA?sub_confirmation=1

It uses a $10 ESP-32 Cam development board which works wirelessly.
