Security Surveillance Robot using IoT
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryVideo surveillance is the process of monitoring a situation, an area or a person. This generally occurs in a military scenario where surveillance of borderlines and enemy territory is essential to a country’s safety. Human surveillance is achieved by deploying personnel near sensitive areas in order to constantly monitor for changes. But humans do have their limitations, and deployment in inaccessible places is not always possible.
There are also added risks of losing personnel in the event of getting caught by the enemy. With advances in technology over the years, it is possible to remotely monitor areas of importance by using robots in place of humans.
We have to develop a robot which can be used for video surveillance & monitoring which can be controlled through a GUI interface using IoT. The control mechanism will be provided with a video transmission facility. The video transmission is practically achieved through high-speed image transmission. Initially, the robot will be equipped with a camera which will capture the scenes and transfer the images to the server on which the user will be controlling and watching the live feed.
Project Objectives- To develop a robot which can be used for video surveillance & monitoring which can be controlled through a GUI interface using IoT.
- To achieve the control mechanism which will be provided with a video transmission facility.
- To practically achieve the video transmission through high-speed image transmission.
- To equip the robot with a camera which will capture the scenes and transfer the images to the server on which the user will be controlling and watching the live feed.
The brain of the circuit is Raspberry pi. It is single board credit card size computer based on A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU with 1GB RAM. It will be also equipped with two IR obstacle sensors which allow it to see the obstacles that you can’t, because well, you’re not there. It will detect an object and if the object detected, it will change its direction. As stated before, the robot will have quite a few sensors on board. It will also have a camera which can be used for video surveillance of human beings.
We will also use a motion sensor to detect human movement. If a human is detected, the system will enable a camera module. It will also have an L293 motor driver to allow sufficient current to power the motors via the Raspberry pi GPIO. We will establish IoT server which enables to control robot from a remote place.
Benefits of the Project- At the time of war where it can be used to collect information from the enemy terrain and monitor that information at a far secure area, and safely devise a plan for the counter attack.
- Tracking locations of terrorist organizations and then plan an attack at a suitable time.
- Making video surveillance of any disaster affected area where human beings can’t go.
The circuit will operate using 1.5V(3 cell).HT12E is an encoder IC that converts the 4-bit parallel data from the 4 data pins into serial data in order to transmit over RF link using the transmitter. A 680 K? resistor is connected between the oscillator terminals of encoder IC. This is to enable the oscillator.
There are four switches is connected with HT12-E IC which will be used to control the movement of the robot.
We will connect all address to ground on both transmitter and receiver side.
Pin 17 of HT12E is directly connected to the data pin of RF-Tx, so RF-Tx will radiate signal which has information of input status. The receiver will collect the signal and decode it.
This video surveillance robot is controlling by two possible ways
• Robot movement control by wireless Remote (within 100m distance).
• Robot movement control by web browser from anywhere.
The circuit is divided into transmitter and receiver sections. The transmitter section consists of an RF Transmitter, HT12E encoder IC and four push buttons.
