AUTOMATED video surveillance addresses real-time observation of people and vehicles

within a busy environment, leading to a description of their actions and interactions. The
technical issues include moving object detection and tracking, object classification, human
motion analysis, and activity understanding, touching on many of the core topics of
computer vision, pattern analysis, and artificial intelligence. There are immediate needs for
automated surveillance systems in commercial, law enforcement, and military applications.
Mounting video cameras is cheap, but finding available human resources to observe the
output is expensive. Although surveillance cameras are already prevalent in banks, stores,
and parking lots, video data currently is used only after the fact as a forensic tool, thus
losing its primary benefit as an active, real-time medium. What is needed is continuous 24-
hour monitoring of surveillance video to alert security officers to a burglary in progress or to
a suspicious individual loitering in the parking lot, while there is still time to prevent the
crime. In addition to the obvious security applications, video surveillance technology has
been proposed to measure traffic flow, detect accidents on highways, monitor pedestrian
congestion in public spaces, compile consumer demographics in shopping malls and
amusement parks, log routine maintenance tasks at nuclear facilities, and count endangered
species. In my work till date, I have been designing a portable, economically viable
alternative to manual surveillance that can find application in both civilian and military
sectors. It demonstrates the Battery Operated Video Surveillance System Architecture. In
this Architecture, Base station is connected to Repeaters via Wi Fi connection. Client collects
the Video data connected to the Repeater or Base Station.
A server which displays Video data connected to the Base station. Base station
synchronize Wi-Fi connections of Repeaters.
The Client is a Beaglebone Black with Video capture device and Server is a PC
connected to Base station. All these devices connected via Wi-Fi.

The Bot has the following features:
Streaming the Video over Wi-Fi Network architecture.
Resolution 320 x 240.
Frame-rate 20 fps.
Compression JPEG/ FFMPEG
Range around 30m covering.
Low power ratings 210-460 mA @5 V Depending On Activity and Processor Speed
The use of sensors provides a new dimension to the robot and increases the scope of its
application. But the bot can be improved much further through some additional features.

Some other future aspects can be-
Using Mesh Network protocol for Wireless connection.
Battery operated Network Router.
Motion Activated recording and alerts.
Power Optimization.
Theft control
Battery charge level update to Server.
