This tiny box is the ESP32-P4-EYE—basically a Swiss-army camera dev kit. Camera up front, little LCD, mic, MicroSD, dual USB-C, Wi-Fi/BLE… and yes, you can build your own camera UI on top of it. In this video I do a real-world tour: LVGL UI demo, photo/video tests (1080p), a quick look at “AI mode,” and a battery install inside the case (with a couple hard-earned tips so your knob doesn’t get stuck 😅). + What’s inside / highlights - Palm-size cam board (no spaghetti wiring) - LVGL UI (example source available), UI designed in SquareLine Studio - Manual focus lens (don’t forget to twist it!) - Photos saved as 1920×1080 JPEGs - Video recording at 1080p MP4 with audio - Digital zoom exists (up to 4×) but it’s not optical—quality drops - “AI mode” uses sample face/pedestrian detection - Access files over USB straight from the SD card - Battery not included → I show the thin LiPo install and fit tips + Battery notes I learned the hard way - Super tight space—use a thin pack (mine: ~3.5 mm, ~25×40 mm) - Don’t place it too close to the corner or the rotary knob can bind - Match the connector & polarity (seriously) [ESP32-P4-EYE Development Board] [ESP32-P4-EYE Document] [ESP32-P4-EYE Factory Example]
