ESP32 cam pir motion detector with photo capture project is suitable as your automatic home assistant system. With a few components and modules, you can easily build this camera setup. once the motion is detected in front of the PIR motion sensor the signal will trigger the ESP 32 Cam module to take photos. This is the main principle of this circuit. The captured photos will be saved in the SD card and you can see those photos later.
