The trickiest part was writing a custom driver for the camera input. The project is open source under the Apache license on GitHub, though it currently lacks audio, WiFi support, and any security. The post reflects on the growing trend of using the powerful ESP32-P4 for tasks traditionally handled by Linux SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
