ESP32 Cam - working!

Guys, the ESP32 cam does work with MotionEye and as standalone IP cam. I tested it. There are different codes to program it. If you flash it through ESPHome i.e. inside Home Assistant, there will be no IP access, it will just work in picture card in HA. If you flash it through Arduino default sketch, it will work as IP cam but not working with MotionEye. If you follow instructions on following link, it will work as IP cam and can also work with MotionEye inside HA. Few points to note. Cam resolution should be carefully chosen. On maximum resolution, it wont work long before heating up too high. So I am thinking to use it on max resolution only as snapshot taker like on movement take pic or stream and then go to deep sleep, though not tested this part yet.
