CGI SCRIPT AND MJPG VIDEO STREAMER BASED SURVEILLANCE ROBOT USING RASPBERRY PI

Abstract

In this research work we have developed a platform to remotely control a surveillance robot over internet. It will enable us to monitor the activities in the remote and sensitive areas. In traditional security systems, fixed locations are used for monitoring and spying purposes. For such cases, our robotic system is mobile and it can go into those areas where human access is risky, impossible or not suitable and provide us with the footage of those locations. The camera mounted on the robot keeps on capturing the video. This live video from robot will be streamed on web page and it will be used for both surveillance and controlling the robot movement accordingly. The movement algorithm of the robot is implemented using CGI scripts and the monitoring is done by utilizing the MJPG video streamer. The aim is to control the robot from anywhere in the world via web page and to make the delay time as little as possible. The proposed system has a great potential to be used commercially due to its efficient response, vast applications and economical value.
