Hi,
the message "Brownout detector was triggered" means that the power supply is too weak.

Try to supply the camera with a more adapted power source and then change the configuration of the camera in the config page.

The message "module Type 93 SD_Card 1" means that the camera is not configured properly

Thank you!

I used stronger power supply (6V, 500mA) connected to 5V and GND. I got into config menu using AP mode. I configured SSID and Camera module, save and reboot.

Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the module now (module does not broadcast, so it is connected to the router). It refuses to connect (browser falls into https://).

At this point I do not have serial port to check boot message. Module is warming up.

I'll try to get serial working...

Serial working, all solved.
The issue was that I typed SSID to AP mode field. Thus module was broadcasting the same SSID as my router...
Stupid error...
