Waveshare has recently released an ESP32-S3-ETH Development Board that combines an ESP32-S3 microcontroller, Ethernet (with optional PoE) and a camera interface.  The board is available in four variants the ESP32-S3-ETH (ETH development board only), the ESP32-S3-ETH-CAM-KIT (ETH development board + 2MP OV2640 camera), the ESP32-S3-POE-ETH (ETH development board + PoE module), and the ESP32-S3-POE-ETH-CAM-KIT (ETH development board + 2MP OV2640 camera + PoE module). This flexibility makes this board ideal for applications such as smart home projects, AI-enhanced computer vision, and image acquisition.

Previously we have written about various development boards built around the ESP32-S3 like the Unexpected Maker OMGS3, the LILYGO T-Display S3, the ESP32-S3 1.47-inch USB dongle, and much more, feel free to check those out if you are interested in the topics

The company mentions that the board can be programmed with Arduino or ESP-IDF. The company’s wiki page has more information, including example code, schematic, and other information.

In terms of software, the company mentions that the dev board can be programmed with Arduino or ESP-IDF. More information about the product should eventually become available on the wiki, but it’s empty right now…
