ESP32-CAM and MIPI CSI 2 cameras compatibility

[Mike321]

I want to use camera from cell phone that has MIPI CSI 2 interface with ESP32-CAM board is this going to work if i print custom Flexible Printed Circuit to connect them or protocols are different?

Is there some way to transfer MIPI CSI 2 signal to parallel interface used by ESP32-CAM?

The ESP32 does not have a native MIPI CSI interface (you'd need the ESP32-P4 for that). As such, without some kind of converter chip (or perhaps some very advanced abuse of the built-in peripherals), there's no way to connect the two together.
