Launching an esp32-based camera (both hardware and software) with night vision and motion detection to make it easier to play with different camera sensors, their settings, and TFLite CNNs. It would also support integration with Home Assistant for DYI home automation projects.

Are you running a CNN on an ESP32? Is that even possible with so little stack and heap? PRRAM is slow
The ESP32-S3 introduces vector instructions which are supported by TFLite already. See here - https://github.com/espressif/esp-nn#performance

S3 also supports Octal PSRAM vs the single lane SPI PSRAM found on the older ESP32-CAM style boards, should be 8x the bandwidth with all else equal. So far I've only seen the octal PSRAM's available on WROOM modules and it looks likes there only support for Espressif branded Octal PSRAM chips at this point.

Wow nice! Thanks!
