Try cleaning the camera contacts with IPA, the black bar on the white connector (hinged at each end) lifts upwards (stiff) from camera side - if you look carefully there appears to be a cut out you could use for a plastic tool (or long finger nails !), but be very careful and not damage the camera cable or board.

Thanks Bob, another almost instant success - 3-D printer IPA on the ribbon and PCB and it works
Now to persuade my tablet PC to take it as a stream
Very handy little modules. It seems that the LED is controlled by GPIO4. A bit of reading produced this:

"If you’re not using the microSD card, you can use these pins as regular inputs/outputs. You can take a look at the ESP32 pinout guide to see the features of these pins.
All these GPIOs are RTC and support ADC: GPIOs 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, and 15."

So it seems that adding a few lines of code to 'toggle' GPIO4 or even to use an ADC and set a threshold either in SW or via a potentiometer/LDR could be quite possible.

I've written basic for picaxe and loosely understand Arduino so something for a rainy day perhaps.

A very grateful Gareth

You should not have prob with Tablet, my Android phone works fine using Chrome and Firefox. Just give it the full address of stream and it comes up.
