I built myself a "shield" from perf board which I can plug the esp32cam module and programmer in to and using a couple of toggle switches switch the module on and off and select programming mode. This makes using these boards much more convenient - I think there is a gap in the market for someone to produce these and sell on eBay ;-) +The module is not the easiest to use as it does not have a usb socket on board so you will need an in circuit programmer to program it, these can be bought on eBay very cheaply or you can use an Arduino - see: https://pre-processing.com/how-to-configure-the-esp32-cam-with-arduino-uno/ +I built myself a "shield" from perf board which I can plug the esp32cam module and programmer in to and using a couple of toggle switches switch the module on and off and select programming mode.
