But expanded with:
* More options for default network and camera settings
* Control of on-board lamps, view rotation in the browser
* Save and restore settings
* Control of on-board lamps, rotate the view in the browser
* Dedicated standalone stream viewer
* Lots of minor fixes and tweaks
* Lots of minor fixes and tweaks, documentation etc.
The original example is a bit incomprehensible and hard to modify as supplied. It is very focused on showing off the face recognition capabilities, and forgets the 'webcam' part.
* There are many other variants of a webcam server for these modules online, but most are created for a specific scenario and not good for general, casual, webcam use.

Hopefully this expanded example is more useful for those users who wish to set up a simple ESP32 based webcam using the cheap(ish) modules freely available online. Especially the AI-THINKER board:

By default the sketch assumes you have an AI-THINKER board, it creates an AccessPoint called `ESP32-CAM-CONNECT` and with the password `InsecurePassword`; connect to that and then browse to [`http://192.168.4.1/`](http://192.168.4.1/). This is nice and easy for testing and demo purposes.
To make a permanent config for a different board, or with your home wifi settings etc. copy (or rename) the file `myconfig.sample.h` in the sketch folder to `myconfig.h`
You can now set a camera name, board model, wifi settings and some other defaults in that file. And because this is your private copy it will not get overwritten if you update the main sketch!

I have left all the Face Recognition code untouched, it works, and with good lighting and camera position it can work quite well. But you can only use it in low-resolution modes, and it is not something I will be using.
The web UI has had minor changes to add the lamp control (only when enabled), I also made the 'Start Stream' and 'Snapshot' controls more prominent, and added feedback of the camera name + firmware.

I would also like to shoutout to @jmfloyd; who suggested rotating the image in the browser since the esp32 itself cannot do this.
