Introduction
Introduction Features Difficulties Literature Survey

Surveillance and its Requirements
• Surveillance is the process in which people, places, or things are monitored
usually for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting
them.
• Indoor and Outdoor Surveillance
• Country borders, public places, government offices – Outdoor Surveillance
• Warehouses, homes, garages – Indoor surveillance.

OUTDOOR SURVEILLANCE REQUIRED AT FOLLOWING PLACES

Current Techniques

Rescue Operations
• Required in Disasters
• Disasters can be Natural or Man-Made.
• As reported by USAR (Urban Search and Rescue), the
possibility of saving a victim is high within the first 48 hours
of rescue operation after that probability becomes nearly zero.

Disaster caused by Nature

Man Made Disasters

Internet of Things
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is
the network of physical objects,
devices, vehicles, buildings and
other items embedded with
electronics, software, sensors, and
network connectivity that enables
these objects to collect and
exchange data.
• .Integration with the Internet
implies that devices will use an IP
address as a unique identifier.
• Objects in the IoT will not only
be devices with sensory
capabilities, but also provide
actuation capabilities.

Advantage of Robots
• They reduce human efforts.
• They can get into dangerous places without complaining.
• Small size robot are difficult to get caught an eye.
• Life of a human is more precious that Robot.
• It can help in outdoor surveillance by monitoring important places and also it can be made
to reach suspicious place for close observations.
• A robot can be used for indoor surveillance and can be made to reach the places of interest
for getting the information rather than installing cameras in the whole environment
.
•Help to the rescue team and can greatly improve the safety of the rescue team as well as
their working efficiency.

Types of Robots
• Industrial Robots
• Domestic or household robots
• Medical robots
• Service robots
• Military robots
• Space robots
• Hobby and competition robots

• Wheeled Robot
•Tracked Robot

How Does a Robot Helps ?
+ + +
• Can be made to reach the places of interest for getting the information rather
than installing cameras in the whole environment.
• An observation can be made without going to the risky places.
• Even if robot is caught it can be destroyed without risking anything.

Necessary Features
• Live video.
• Environmental related Information.
• User should be able to control and view
information remotely.

Difficulties
• Requires expensive components.
• Complexity.
• Range.
• Software codes

Related Work

• DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency)
• The DTMF controlling does not provide
smooth and instantaneous control of the Robot.
• Call Drops.
• Cost

Objective
To make a full featured surveillance and rescue
robot using an easily available Android
Smartphone that can be easily controlled over
the Internet with any complexity and high cost.

Live Video
• IP WebCam
• Alfed
• Ustream

IP WebCam Application
• IP Webcam turns your phone into a network camera with
multiple viewing options. View your camera on any platform
with VLC player or web browser.
• Optional Ivideon cloud broadcasting is supported for instant
global access.

Home Security Camera - Alfred
• Alfred supports multiple Viewers and multiple Webcams
• Alfred is fast: In less than a second, Alfred connects you and
the secured location with the shortest latency and the highest
interactivity.

Ustream
• Watch live video and broadcast live on your phone or tablet -
anytime, anywhere!
• Broadcasting in 720p HD and 360p HQ is available
