#ESP32CAM – Client Python 🐍 app to view WebServer photos 📸

Hi !

Still learning with the ESP32 CAM board.

In today’s post the scenario is simple:

• Create a client Python app to view remote photos from the ESP32 Cam Arduino device

This is a super lower quality photo, but hey, still good enough !

This is a super simple Python and OpenCV app.
