Hi.
Please read the demonstration section:
“Currently, this example doesn’t have face recognition enabled for this board, but face detection works for CIF or lower resolutions.”

Sara

Hi Sara,
I have followed your tutorial and it worked on my “Freenove esp32 wrover”.
in the end I can stream on a local website.
The problem is: I can not see the ‘face detection/recoginition’ works.
I was using the same resolution “QVGA(320X240)” as you and have tried even smaller format.
with “Face Detection” and “Face Recognition” enabled, cliking “Enroll Face” doesn’t show the block on the face neither in the video, or on the still picture.

is there a missing configuration?

Hello,
On my board 54FK is the nearest of the USB plug, should I invert with 65bx ?
Thanks

SOLVED:
My card is not freenove and any sketch I tried to install always gave the same error. Made the following changes:
Tools -> Erase all flash before upload [select: enabled]
Tools -> flash mode [select: DIO]
It works now but I’ll tell you more: after having done only one installation with new settings I put the parameters back as in “original”:
Tools -> Erase all flash before upload [select: disabled]
Tools -> flash mode [select: QIO]
Now the card works always. I can install any sketch without any more errors.
It probably comes from the factory in a certain condition but I don’t know why.
