IOT Based Surveillance Robot

Abstract

This paper presents an IoT-based surveillance Robot designed for hazardous environment monitoring. The system utilizes two ESP32-CAM modules: one for real-time video streaming and another for Robot control via a mobile application. The Robot is manually operated through an Android app, which connects to the ESP32-CAM over WiFi. The app stores Wi-Fi credentials and IP addresses using Room Database, enabling easy reconnection. The surveillance system supports live streaming in both day and night conditions and includes servo motor-based camera movement for improved visibility. Additional features include manual navigation controls, flashlight toggling for low-light environments, and remote operation capabilities. This system reduces human intervention in dangerous areas, enhancing safety and security. Future enhancements could extend its application to defense and mining operations, where continuous surveillance is critical.
