ESP32CAM is an image recognition development board. It features an ESP32 (4M Flash + 520K RAM) chip and 2-Megapixel camera (OV2640). It also supports image transmission via Wi-Fi and debugging through USB Type-C port.
The hardware comes with a preloaded software, programmed by ESP-IDF. The purpose of the pre-loaded software is to operate the Wi-Fi camera. The camera output image has a resolution of 600*800, since it's 2MP camera it's possible to optimize the software to output a bigger resolution of photos.
What can the software do?
Power the board via USB type-C or GROVE
Use your phone to Wi-Fi scan an AP name start with 'm5stack-' and click to connect this AP.

The module comes with a self-contained program. It is a nice program to demonstrate the camera. However, 1) I think the "can" program was developed with ESP-IDF not Arduino. 2) there is no instruction to change the SSID of the module.
A simple sketch for the Arduino environment at the product page would be nice.
in the product document page, we have provided Arduino example for the camera
