+
+The ``camera_encoder`` component provides image compression support for software-based cameras or cameras without
+internal compression. It allows raw camera frames to be compressed into a format suitable for transmission to API
+clients, such as Home Assistant, which expect JPEG-compressed images.
+
+It supports different encoder implementations, such as a ESP32 Camera software JPEG encoder that can be configured with
+options like image quality and incremental encoding. These settings make it possible to balance image
+quality and performance depending on the use case.
+
+{{< note >}}
+The default software JPEG encoder enables devices like the ESP32-S3 to stream images.
+It is primarily intended for smallar images due to limited processing power and memory,
+and supports only devices from the ESP32 family.

+## esp32_camera Options
+
+- **quality** (*Optional*, int): Sets JPEG compression quality.
+  Valid values range from ``1`` (lowest quality, highest compression) to ``100`` (best quality, least compression). Defaults: ``80``.
+
+- **buffer_size** (*Optional*, int): Initial size of the output buffer in bytes, used to store the JPEG-encoded image data.
+  - Minimum: 1024 bytes
+  - Maximum: 2097152 bytes (2 MB), sufficient for ESP32-S3 and ESP32-P4
+  - Default: ``4096``.
+
+- **buffer_expand_size** (*Optional*, int): Number of bytes to expand the output buffer if it is too small to hold the JPEG-encoded image. A value of ``0`` disables expansion.
+  - Maximum: 2097152 bytes (2 MB), sufficient for ESP32-S3 and ESP32-P4
+  - Default: ``1024``.
