I purchased an ESP32-Cam and hooked it up according to the tutorial in the Dronebot Workshop.

The program loads successfully and the camera turns on and I get a good picture. The only problem is that it freezes after only a few seconds. If I stop streaming and restart it, the same thing happens.

 Is this a product of my WiFi, or something else? I am using a USB/TTL as the FTDI adapter. Could this be an outdated card?  I left all the camera settings as the default settings when the camera program first starts up.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I solved my problem. My ESP32-CAM board came with the antenna, so the zero ohm jumper was soldered in the antenna configuration. I assumed it came in the non antenna configuration so would I have  to move it to use the antenna. Once I attached the antenna, there was no problems streaming the video.
