How about using a lens other than OV2640 on ESP32?
This is today's hero, OV5640. Because it has a 1/4inch 5megapixel CMOS image sensor, it's possible to acquire images of up to 2592x1944.
In today's video, I'm gonna connect this OV5640 to the ESP32 AIThinker board and show you how it works.

*Please Note*
Each manufacturer of OV5640 has slightly different specifications. Please check with your product first. The product I used is Waveshare's OV5640. https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/OV5640...)

There is no problem with taking pictures at intervals and using image streaming for a short time, but there seems to be a problem with it getting very hot when used continuously for a long time. I think it is a problem with the ESP32 AI thinker board, but I will prepare a new video again when the cause of the problem is identified.
