Movable Surveillance Camera using IoT and Raspberry Pi

Abstract

Surveillance is the one major thing that anyone wants and required to protect their things or monitor their places. In this paper, we proposed a movable surveillance camera using Raspberry Pi and Webcam. The movement of the proposed surveillance camera can be controlled by using the designed web browser and python scripting language. It can cover a wide area. The proposed architecture is portable and movable. It is extensively used in high-risk prone areas to humans and also used in the industries for continuous monitoring for seamless working machinery. The movement of the camera can be done by using a Robot, which is driven by the motor driver L298N module integrated with the circuit. The data collected by the proposed movable surveillance camera is more superior than the conventional CCTV Cameras, Drone Cameras, and Camera Traps. The problem with the drone camera is very less coverage area. In forest areas, the camera traps are replaced by the proposed surveillance camera. It can be used for capturing images in dark areas as it uses LED's. SSH Protocol is used for sending the captured images.
