Design and Fabrication of Surveillance Drone

The growing demand for real-time monitoring and security has driven the innovation of advanced aerial surveillance systems. This project focuses on the design and fabrication of a compact and cost-effective surveillance drone capable of remotecontrolled operations. The drone integrates a lightweight quadcopter frame with high-efficiency brushless motors, GPS for navigation, and a real-time video transmission system utilizing a high-resolution camera and wireless communication module. Powered by rechargeable lithium polymer batteries, the drone is equipped to perform surveillance tasks in both urban and rural environments. The onboard microcontroller, coupled with stabilization sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers, ensures flight stability and manoeuvrability. This project aims to enhance situational awareness in defense, disaster management, and public safety applications the fabricated drone is tested for flight endurance, camera clarity, and transmission range to validate its suitability and practical surveillance missions.
