ESP32-Cam http "refused to connect" after ESPHome update

[ZhuDaHai]

The problem

I was running ESP32-CAM on ESPHome with an old version of ESPHome. It was working properly.
I upgraded EPSHome to 2024.7.3, which resulted in EPSHome complaining about my ESP devices needed an update.
After updating my 4 other devices, I then updated my ESP32-Cam.
The update was a success. Logs connect and show output, but I can no longer connect to it via is http URL. I get "refused to connect" when trying the URL in my web browser and TinyCam cannot connect as well. Generic Camera in HA cannot connect as well.

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2024..7.3

What type of installation are you using?

Home Assistant Add-on

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

Core: 2024.7.4, Supervisor: 2024.06.2, OS: 12.4: Frontend: 202407010.0

What platform are you using?

ESP32

Board

ESP32-CAM

Component causing the issue

esp32_camera ??? IDK

Update:

1. Changed the esp32: -> board: esp32cam. That resulted in a esp32_camera failure error
   `[12:57:39][E][esp32_camera:123]: Setup Failed: ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED

[12:57:39][E][component:082]: Component esp32_camera is marked FAILED
`

2. set "board:" back to esp32dev - same error

3. Broke out the Arduino IDE and reflashed with the original code from Rui Santos:
   https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cam-video-streaming-web-server-camera-home-assistant/
   and that WORKED! VIDEO!!!

4. Reflashed the board via the ESPHome Web UI flasher, first with the Initial Install, and then with the compiled BIN file from ESPHome Addon. and......wait for it....
   DEAD!!! NO VIDEO

So, yeah, this worked with a 1-year old version of ESPHome (compile, upload, VIDEO!!!). But its borked with the current version (2024.7.3)

Let me know if you need any further information.

Cheers

I've tried to update my ESPCam from a 2021 firmware to the latest one and it now says:

[18:35:21][E][esp32_camera:123]:   Setup Failed: ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
[18:35:21][E][component:082]:   Component esp32_camera is marked FAILED

Which I think is the same issue you encountered.

There's an older bug which a bot auto-closed - which therefore never got fixed 🙄 - here: #4452

My config:

esphome:
  name: $devicename
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32dev
  friendly_name: $friendly_name

substitutions:
  devicename: esp32-cam-1
  friendly_name: camera-1

Same here.

I have the same or at least a similar issue.

I have two ESPcam boards and I don't get any of them integrated via ESPhome.
I tried different approaches, but none of them worked.

When connecting the ESP via USB and checking the logs using the Webdashboard,
I can see that the ESP starts up fine, connects to wifi and collects snapshots, quite similar to the log shown by the op,
but it doesn't show up in ESPhome, no adoption request or similar.

When I start the process from ESPhome (after initial setup via Webdashboard) then it always looses connection after the actual espcam config is uploaded (which doesn't contain anything special).

I didn't try to use the vanilla approach w/o esphome, to verify the boards,
but this will be the next step and I expect the boards to work fine.

So I guess that's general bug?
Or was anyone able to fix the issue?

Same issue for me!

I have the same issue after upgrade to the last version :(

My esp32cam is also dead since 2025.5.0. Updating to 2025.5.1 did not help at all. Worked perfectly (together with I²C connected HTU21D and LD2410 radar sensor). I also used an (older) external component /MichaKersloot/esphome_custom_components which worked even better than ESPHome component.

I did not change or alter anything in hardware or software between working and non-woking state.

After the updates nothing worked anymore - simple as that. Please fix asap.

Additional Info: I flashed Tasmota-Webcam on it and the camera worked fine with framerates of up to 25fps - just for testing. Flashed it back to ESPHome and did not work at all. Power supply is 5.2V/3A. I also used a lab power supply 0..30V/0..10A. Behauviour was the same so I can rule out hardware and power issues (not to mention again that it worked good before the update)

[DerEmder]

Updating to 2025.5.2 did not change anything - still no picture. Please fix. If you need any specific information don't hesitate to ask (and tell me exactly what I have to do to gain the information).

[MiguelCosta]

I changed the USB charger and it is working now.... 🤔

[DerEmder]

What do you mean with 'USB charger'? Whats the rating before and after? And - how do you connect the charger? I use 5.1V 3A for my in-wall esp32cam (that power supply is going around the house in the walls with power supplies on every floor).

[DerEmder]

The odd stuff is that it gets some image from the camera now and then. I assume the camera is initialized but reading the frames seems to be broken somehow.

From ESPHome 2024.7 the esp32_camera component no longer exposes an HTTP stream by itself. If you want to view the camera in a browser or connect via Home Assistant, add the esp32_camera_web_server block to your YAML configuration:

esp32_camera:
  # your existing camera configuration

esp32_camera_web_server:
  - port: 80
    mode: stream

[DerEmder]

Yes, I know that. But using the HTTP stream will not help - the camera itself does not work properly. I only use the API camera stream, I don't need the HTTP stream. Beside that the ESP controllers are too weak to produce API and HTTP stream at the same time.

But that - as I said already - is not the problem here. Before the update to 205.5.0 the camera worked fine via HA API. After the update not anymore. And reading through the forums and Github I am not the only one.
