I have an ESP32-CAM from Aliexpress but it came with a RHYX M21-45 camera module. I am trying to connect it to esp home but get do image. I can control the light. This is my configuration file:

The problem may be the pin configuration, but I don’t know how to set it.
It may also be a problem with the image format as the streaming from this tutorial works when I change the image type:
#include "esp_camera.h"

// WARNING!!! PSRAM IC required for UXGA resolution and high JPEG quality
// Ensure ESP32 Wrover Module or other board with PSRAM is selected
// Partial images will be transmitted if image exceeds buffer size
//
// You must select partition scheme from the board menu that has at least 3MB APP space.
// Face Recognition is DISABLED for ESP32 and ESP32-S2, because it takes up from 15
// seconds to process single frame. Face Detection is ENABLED if PSRAM is enabled as well
