The ESP32-CAM is one of the most popular modules for IoT projects involving image recognition and surveillance. However, because it is not a native component in Proteus, you must manually add a third-party library to simulate it.

No official ESP32-CAM library exists for Proteus from Labcenter Electronics. The libraries available online are community-made, third-party, or converted from Arduino/Fritzing models. Therefore, simulation is limited to basic GPIO control, UART, I2C, and SPI operations. Camera sensor simulation is not realistic – you can simulate the logic (e.g., capture trigger, data ready flags) but not actual image output. In Arduino IDE: Sketch → Export compiled Binary
