ESP32-Camera not connecting to a hidden SSID automatically
When I connect manually to a WLAN with a hidden SSID, it's working. But after a reboot the connection to the WLAN is not established anymore. I Have to connect to the system AP and reconfigure the WiFi settings again.

Don't use hidden SSID, it's security by obscurity.
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

I use hidden SSIDs only for hiding IOT networks with separate IP Ranges from public networks for the whole family.
So it's neccessary for me to connect to A hidden network

I'm having the same problem. I have my printers on a separate hidden SSID so each time I reboot I'm having to manually reconnect them. The prusa firmware implementation for the ESP32 cam does not command the board to scan & connect; only to connect, if available, to the SSID saved in the setup profile. I have seen some generic (non-Prusa related) threads about this problem that requires editing the code & recompiling to enable the "~scan when turned on" mode. I think it's possible to fix this but it would require someone with the skills to change the firmware.
