A basic limitation of the sketch is that it can can only support one stream at a time. If you try to connect to a cam that is already streaming (or attempting to stream) you will get no response and, eventually, a timeout. The stream itself is a [MJPEG stream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG), which relies on the client (the web browser) to hold the connection open and request each new frame in turn via javascript. This can cause errors when browsers run into Javascript or caching problem, fail to request new frames or refuse to close the connection.
* You can check the `/dump` page of the cam to see if it currently reports the camera as streaming or not.

Download the latest release of the sketch from https://github.com/easytarget/esp32-cam-webserver/releases/latest
- You can get the latest stable development release by cloning / downloading the `master` branch of the repo.
This will give you an archive file with the Version number in it, eg.`esp32-cam-webserver-3.0.zip`. Tou need to unpack this into your Arduino sketch folder, and then you need to rename the folder you just extracted to remove the version number, eg.`esp32-cam-webserver-3.0` becomes `esp32-cam-webserver`.
This will give you an archive file with the Version number in it, eg.`esp32-cam-webserver-4.0.zip`. You need to unpack this into your Arduino sketch folder, and then you need to **rename the folder you extracted to remove the version number**, eg.`esp32-cam-webserver-4.0` becomes `esp32-cam-webserver`.
Once you have done that you can open the sketch in the IDE by going to the `esp32-cam-webserver` sketch folder and selecting `esp32-cam-webserver.ino`.

Time allowing; my Current plan is:
V4
* Remove face recognition entirely;
* **Done**, see the `NoFace` branch :sunglasses:
* Not optional, this is a code and maintenance nightmare. V3 can be maintained on a branch for those who need it.
* Investigate using SD card to capture images
* Implement OTA and a better network stack for remembering multiple AP's, auto-config etc.
* **Basic OTA is Done**, see the `NoFace` branch.
* Implement a better network stack for remembering multiple AP's, auto-config etc.
* Advanced (web upload) OTA might be nice to have if possible
* For the Network setup I want to implement https://github.com/Hieromon/AutoConnect
* UI Skinning/Theming
* OSD
* Temperature/humidity/pressure sensor support (bme20,dht11)
