/* ESP32-CAM PIR motion sensor to Telegram alert

   Using the below mentioned project as the base template,
   I wanted to create a network camera that is capable of
   capturing movement and be able to access it easily
   through an app. The idea was to use it to notify me if
   the delivery person is at my door (as sometimes there's no one at home).
   
   Luckily I stumbled upon Rui Santos's amazing website,
   and it did make it easier for me since he has already done
   such a project. 
   
   You can follow his step by step tutorial on how to 
   install the intended libraries to run this project too!

   Components:
                - Arduino Uno
                - ESP32-CAM
                - HC-SR501 PIR sensor
                - Green LED 
                - 220Ohm resistor
                - Helping-Hands tool with alligator clips
                - Breadboard
                - Some jumper wires
