This project implements a simple yet efficient UDP-based image streaming system using an ESP32-CAM module and a Python server. The ESP32 captures frames from its onboard camera and streams raw YUV422 image data in chunks over UDP. A Python script on the host receives, reconstructs, decodes, and saves the image, providing a lightweight wireless vision system.

Real-time image streaming over UDP Raw YUV422 camera data transmission Automatic frame reassembly and conversion to JPEG ESP32-based camera capture using esp_camera Simple confirmation reply from server to client Works with local Wi-Fi networks

Tech Stack ESP-IDF (C for ESP32) OpenCV + NumPy (Python) UDP Sockets (no handshake, fast transmission)

Use Cases Wireless camera monitoring IoT-based visual data transmission Lightweight remote sensing with minimal bandwidth Robotics vision integration
