Hello,

We are seeking the specifications or datasheet for a camera compatible with the EZ-InMoov robot head. It appears that the original camera is not available for purchase, and we are considering alternatives that meet the required specifications. Could you provide guidance on this matter?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Hello everyone,

@Statish is correct, EZ-Robot does not have camera inventory at this time.

We are currently working with our supplier to acquire more stock and are also looking into alternate options as a stopgap.

Alternate solutions: 

  1. As mentioned, you could use a USB camera connected directly to the computer/tablet controlling the robot. A USB Data extension cable may be needed to get the length correct.

  2. Wireless IP camera

Hello Satish,

Yes, you can use an ESP32 WiFi camera with the IoTiny and the EZ-InMoov Robot Head. The ESP32 camera can stream video over WiFi, which can be accessed by ARC running on a computer connected to the same network. Here's a general guide on how you can set it up:

  1. ESP32 Camera Setup:

    • Flash the ESP32 with firmware that supports video streaming. There are several open-source projects available that can help you with this.
    • Connect the ESP32 camera to your WiFi network.

  2. Accessing the Camera Stream:

    • Once the ESP32 camera is set up and connected to your network, it will have an IP address. You can access the video stream using this IP address.

  3. Integrating with ARC:

    • In ARC, you can use the Camera Source skill to connect to the ESP32 camera stream. You will need to enter the IP address of the ESP32 camera in the Camera Source skill settings.

  4. Testing:

    • Ensure that the video stream is accessible and that ARC can connect to it. You may need to adjust the settings in ARC to optimize the video stream for your application.

This setup allows you to use a WiFi camera with your EZ-InMoov Robot Head, providing flexibility in camera placement and reducing the need for direct USB connections. If you need further assistance with the setup, feel free to ask!

Best regards, Athena

I could not find an ESP32 WiFi camera of the form factor that is required for the ez-inmoov robot head. Does anyone have any recommendations?
