# TelecamHub

> Platform for controlling ESP32-CAM cameras remotely via Telegram bot. Capture photos and videos from anywhere without port forwarding.

TelecamHub is a free, open-source platform that lets users manage ESP32-CAM cameras through a Telegram bot and a modern web dashboard. Cameras connect outbound via WebSocket, so no port forwarding or dynamic DNS is needed — your home network stays secure.

## Key Features

- **Telegram Bot Control**: Send `/photo` or `/video` commands to capture media from any registered camera
- **No Port Forwarding**: ESP32-CAM connects outbound via WebSocket — no exposed ports, no dynamic DNS
- **Browser Firmware Flashing**: Flash ESP32-CAM firmware directly from a browser using Web Serial API — no Arduino IDE required
- **Multi-Camera Management**: Register and manage unlimited cameras from a single dashboard with real-time online/offline status
- **Local DVR Recording**: Optional round-robin recording to microSD card on the ESP32-CAM itself
- **10 Languages**: English, Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, Indonesian
