Esp32-Cam Get still

In the CameraWebServer example code for the Esp32-Cam, which part of the code is in charge for downloading images from the stream onto your computer? I am building an Esp32Cam car and I want it to be able to download an image onto my computer of whatever the camera is showing.

Thank you.

Do you have the sketch running? If you do, IIRC, there is a button top right maybe that 'takes' the picture or saves the stream. Not sure where it goes, but check your downloads/ documents, desktop, SD card. It's one of those.

I am trying to run the sketch now but I have something wrong. Will keep trying.

Thank you.

Here are some screen grabs showing the process. I think they are self explanatory, but if not let me know.

I didn't know that you could do face detection and face recognition!

I have this little board collecting dust is it the one being written about?

I have always wanted to have a go at IOT but just haven't go around to it yet.

@robotbuilder Face detection and recognition was broke and semi discontinued due to overloading the board. I have not tried it in a while as I am not interested in it, but since I have the board right here, I will give it a try. Back in a few.

@robotbuilder It runs, but only at 320x240. I see a bounding box around my face, but I can't tell if it has enrolled me or detected me. The last time I checked, the next version of the software does not have facial recognition as the board is too underpowered for any real work. Maybe the newer chipset will get a camera option, which may work better.
