Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

I just got my first two ESP32 CAM modules and was having fun with them. I see the camera is very, set and forget, with no abilities to interact with it at all.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

I'd like to stream a low res but I'd like to use the full sensor resolution to take pics, and I was thinking may be it can be done (did not look at the code yet)
A send snapshot will be interesting to do, like turn on flash if dark and available and setup in high res mode, take a snapshot turn off flash etc.
It will be nice if this was an action too.

**Additional context**

So this is more like a question to people (most likely Otto) that might have experience with this, does all this make sense as a feature?

I have not used this cam yet with anything else than ESP Home, may be I should learn more
