VIRO: 360 Degree Real-Time Surveillance

VIRO: 360 Degree Real-Time Surveillance is a compact mobile surveillance system that combines robotics with IoT-based video monitoring to enhance real-time security. The system features TT gear motors for smooth navigation in all directions and a caster wheel for added stability. An ESP32 camera captures live video, while the L298N motor driver controls movement, making VIRO agile and responsive. LED bulbs mounted on the chassis improve visibility in low-light conditions, enabling efficient operation during nighttime. The ESP32 module hosts a local web server accessible through Wi-Fi (IP: 192.168.4.1), allowing users to remotely control the robot and stream real-time video on mobile devices. The user interface is developed using HTML and Arduino libraries such as esp_camera.h and ESPAsyncWebServer.h, ensuring smooth and interactive control. Powered by dual 18650 batteries, the system is portable and energy-efficient. VIRO is ideal for applications in home security, industrial monitoring, and event surveillance, providing flexibility, mobility, and real-time situational awareness. This project demonstrates the effective integration of robotics, wireless communication, and embedded systems, highlighting the potential of IoT in modern surveillance technology. It offers an innovative, scalable solution to evolving security challenges in both personal and professional environments.
