Detected Camera Not Supported

[asmaklad]

Hi FreeNove,
I got 5 pieces of this model from AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004445001353.html), and I tried some of the examples you have in the tutorial.
I got the same error:
[E][camera.c:1113] camera_probe(): Detected camera not supported.
[E][camera.c:1379] esp_camera_init(): Camera probe failed with error 0x20004
[E][TeleView.ino:187] setup(): Camera init failed with error 0x20004

can you please advise on how to address the issue ?

You bought a fake. It's not our product. As can be seen from the link you provided, the product itself does not have our company's logo.

I had same issue with fake boards from ali, you should check if your linear voltage regulators are soldered correctly and if not, then you need to swap them. They are marked 65BX and 54FK, both in SOT-23. It seems like manufacturer in China mass-produced those boards incorrectly and now shops are selling them silently...

You also bought a fake, because there is no logo of our company products on the back.

There are many fake products on the market. Their features are that the cameras don't work, and most of them don't bear our company logo.
