Inspiration: From the movies and the phone camera that we were looking at when deciding to come up with a project idea, we decided to make an IR Night Vision Camera that can allow us to record at night.
Goal: This camera should be able to take photos and record videos at night through infrared vision and store them in a USB storage unit.
Description: The board is powered by a 3V barrel jack and voltage is stepped up to 5v and 3.3v for the onboard electronics. The processing unit that came with the camera converts the image signal to electrical signal that would be processed through the ESP32 unit that we used. The processed image would then be stored in the MEM unit which is where a USB would be plugged in. The user interacts with the board buttons and switches.
Final project completed, although we highly doubt its viability due to the fact that we believe we have not used enough passives to complete the circuit and meet certain requirements of the memory unit or other units present, which leaves room to future improvements.

Summary
Although all electrical connections are established correctly and current can infact flow through it all, the Arduino IDE was unable to locate the ESP32 from its USB ports. With the RaspPi_Cam library => Arduino library graciously provided: https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam_Mega, we would eventually be able to properly code it to function as intended.
