#DFRobot DFR1154

The "It Actually Listened" Moment - ESP-Claw tutorial I typed a message on my phone: "Blink the onboard LED 3 times." I hit send.

I turned off all the lights. Complete darkness. Couldn't see my hand in front of my face. Then I triggered the camera. A few seconds later, my phone buzzed. A photo appeared in my Telegram inbox…

But which board do you buy - ESP32 Camera Comparison? The classic ESP32-CAM is cheap and everywhere. The Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense is tiny and powerful. The DFRobot DFR1154 is feature-packed with night vision and audio.

Then I got my hands on the DFRobot DFR1154 ESP32 S3 AI Camera Module. I unboxed it. Hooked it up. And I was genuinely surprised. This little 42mm x 42mm board doesn’t just take pictures—it has night vision, an onboard microphone, a speaker amp, and enough processing power to run AI models locally .
