## Article

## **DESCRIPTION**

Some time ago, I developed the Esp32-Stick line of development boards with Ethernet, Active PoE, and Passive PoE support. The boards were quite good, but they lacked pins and used the classic vanilla Esp32. I also thought that connecting a camera to a board with PoE could be very interesting. Theoretically, a simple IP camera with Passive/Active PoE support could be built. However, both the Ethernet and the camera require a lot of pins, making it impossible to connect both. So, I decided to use Esp32-S3 (which has more pins) together with the W5500 Ethernet module to solve this problem. The board's use-cases include building IP cameras and PoE+AI camera products (check out the links). Since the boards work with Edge Impulse, you can run some simple image recognition tasks such as raccoon/facemask/birds/people detection.

## **DETAILS**

The board schematics is available from the files tab here on Hackaday.

Here is the PoE-powered video streaming in action:

And a simple male/female recognition results. (Esp32-Stick-PoE-A-Cam had camera pointed to the PC). The board actually does it itself and prints the result to the Serial Monitor, no external PC required!
