 ===== Introduction =====
-This project is a DIY IoT security camera built around the ESP32-CAM microcontroller. It functions as a standalone, localized smart device that streams real-time video over Wi-Fi while allowing the user to physically steer the camera’s viewing angle. The entire system—including the live video feed and the robotic servo controls—is hosted on a custom web server running directly on the ESP32, meaning it requires no third-party apps and can be controlled from any smartphone or PC browser.

+The primary purpose of this project is to design a localized, interactive surveillance solution that does not rely on third-party cloud subscriptions or proprietary mobile applications, while integrating mechanical actuation, high-speed data processing (video streaming) and wireless network communication into a single, low-cost microchip.
