Brownout detection is a hardware feature that shuts down the processor if the system voltage is below a threshold, also known as the "brownout voltage". This is to preserve memory contents and avoid corruption.

You are getting this message because your board is not correctly powered. The underlying reason could be one of many things:

• The USB cable is of poor quality, or too long.
• Your computer's USB port cannot supply enough power to the board.
• The ESP32Cam is defective
• Other components in your circuit are not correctly wired up, affecting the power supply.

I would try to power the ESP32Cam with another USB cable, a different computer, or an external 5V power supply. If all of that doesn't help, it could be that your board is broken.
