## Hardware

- Case: I use 

## ToDo

### Important

- [X] Firmware image on ftp server for updates

- [X] Add PSRAM support for bigger images (IPUS IP6404LQ: (2.7..3.6)V, <./doc/doc/IPUS_IPS6404_Datasheet.pdf>)

- [X] Let the camera run for some seconds to let gain- and color-control settle up

### Nice to have

- [X] Consider timezone and daylight saving time

- [ ] Store config in LittleFS (but how to set it?)

### Maybe later...

- [ ] Using a WiFi manager

- [ ] Using   like WLED:  for easy install

- [ ] Cleanup - because this ist not the ebst code  i've ever written...
