Surveillance Robot Using Raspberry Pi and IoT

Abstract

Remote surveillance and monitoring of our homes has seen a growing need in emerging times. By means of this paper, we put forward a surveillance robot which can be integrated into any kind of household. The base controller of the bot will be the powerful Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. A webcam attached to the Pi monitors the area and sends a notification when any trespassing or obtrusion is detected. The camera also possesses face recognition algorithm which will possess the ability to identify the person responsible for the motion triggering. If it is an authorized personnel, the on board voice assistant will start talking with the person. The notification will be sent only when it's an unauthorized personnel and will contain pictures clicked of the trespasser and also activate live streaming of the webcam feed. The live streaming ability of the Pi allows the camera feed to be analyzed from any location using internet. With such a system, every user will feel more sheltered while they're not at their place of residence or when they've left their children and old ones alone at home.
