Spot-Watch
An ESP32 parking camera with a mobile dashboard, signed over-the-air updates and HTTPS end to end.
the problem
I wanted to check on a parked car from my phone without sending video through a third-party cloud.
architecture
what i built
- Firmware that streams live video to two viewers, pans the camera with a servo and saves full-resolution photos to microSD.
- A mobile-first dashboard, gallery and settings UI served straight from the device.
- Signed, password-protected firmware updates over Wi-Fi with automatic rollback.
- CA-validated HTTPS for every page, API call and video stream, plus automatic recovery for Wi-Fi, camera and storage.
