Make a Ring Style Camera Using a ESP32 Camera

I was given a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 Sense board. It is a small ESP32 board with a camera installed. I used their Wiki Page to configure the board and use it as webcam. The board has a USB-C connector that you use to program it and power the board. I wanted to make the webcam be wireless and put it in a round case like a ring camera. I designed a case for it and a lithium battery. I added a keystone jack for a USB-C connector to recharge the battery.

Seed Studio XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense - 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi OV2640 Camera Sensor $23.99

3.7v 5200mah Rechargeable Lithium Battery $16.99

USB C Keystone Jack Adapter $7.99

Short USB-C male to male flat cable $9.99

JST-PH 2.0 Male and Female Connectors $6.99

Solder the male JST-PH connector cable to the boards + and - battery connector pads on the back.

Connect the board to the battery and insert the USB cable to charge the battery. The red LED will flash while charging and turn off when the battery is charged.

3D Print the case and lid. Make sure to clean up the print removing any excess edges. Insert the Keystone Jack USB-C adaptor into the case. Insert the USB Cable to the adaptor. Insert the cable into the board. Place the board in the case. Connect the battery and slide on the lid. Browse to the IP address of the board to view the camera. Because of the orientation of the USB connector on the board you will need to set the V-FLIP on in the browser UI for the webcam to appear right side up.
