esp32-camera VS esp32cam-timelapse

Espressif's esp-cam library explicitly supports the OV5640 but doesn't mention the OV5647. I believe the OV5647 uses the same connector but from what I've read elsewhere it program slightly different from the OV5640, so it's not likely that an OV5640 driver will work with it.

esp32-camera -> This is the component I am using to provide the driver for the camera of T-Camera S3.

I am working on the with esp32-camera to support the camera I am using. I was wondering if I had to use a camera not supported by this library. How can I go about it? Does this mean that the only camera sensors available for esp32 are the ones in the library?

The software is at github.

https://github.com/espressif/esp32-camera/issues/330 I guess the camera is faulty

If you look at the esp32 camera driver github it lists the supported camera's.

I was doing exactly this with a camera trained on some plants in order to put a timelapse together. I used esp_camera_fb_get() here and then a bit later in the function, send it as a POST to the server (a php function that saves it in the correct directory on the server). For full disclosure, most of the ESP32 sketch was originally written by somebody else here and I merely forked it and tweaked it. I know a lot more about the python scripts in my repo than the arduino sketch.
