ESP32-S3-CAM (OV3660) Popup wall mount

Popup wall mount for the following ESP32 Camera - 

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H2TT5MRG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Intended for use with ESPHome, setting up spot watcher cameras for use within Home Assistant. 

Screws or Magnet mounting. 

Uses all M2 Hardware. 6-20mm Assorted. 

Suggest 20mhz freq. 

Suggest 10-12 FPS limit

Suggest 1280x1024 Resolution for decent images

(Can go higher with absolutely EXCELLENT WiFi to use, but stability suffers) 

Tree supports on Base only. 65deg Overhang. 

Leaves room for wiring to creep out top and bottom. Allowing for accessories and I2C devices to also be connected to GPIO pins. (Motion sensor, Temp and Humidity, Presence, LEDs and indicators, Photocell, Etc) Plenty of pins to go around. Keep programs small and basic to allow for best video FPS/Stream Quality. 

Small 3a 12v - 5v Buck boards operate these with plenty of room.

Pay close attention to the pins diagram on the Amazon listing for the Cam. 

It can be FED to an AI, and used to allow it to write proper code to feed into ESPHome and avoid having to program anything yourself. You just need to be able to describe what pins you are using, and what devices are connected to them, and the intended result. The code comes out usable on Grok, Claude, others almost every time now. 

Enjoy!
