Introduction
 Nowadays, many techniques have been developed to
protect one’s property against invaders threatening to take
or destroy it.

 As digital and networking technologies have been

expanding during the past years, the camera and video
surveillance industry has rapidly adopted these new
advanced technologies.

 These readily available Internet infrastructures makes the

video surveillance deployment much easier and more cost-
efficient
Objectives
 To develop a camera surveillance system within a room
which allows the user to control the position of the
camera irrespective of the latter’s location

 To detect intruders around the perimeter of the room

and immediately make the camera take pictures and
send it to a Google drive for distant consulting

 To provide a permanent record of activities occurred in

the vicinity by storing the pictures took by the camera

 To enable clear identification of miscreants within the

range PIR sensor’s range and also to design an
autonomous camera surveillance system

designed app

A series of 24 photos
is taken by the
Arducam in 23s
Experimental Results
 The motor rotates twice 0-180 degrees in the time interval 36
seconds.

 The camera has a capture time of 0.75 seconds.

 For every 0.75 seconds the motor rotates for 7.5 degrees and a picture
is captured for approximately one and a half rotation.

 To obtain a good quality image, proper synchronization is required

between the time for it to take a and the speed at which the servo
rotates.

 24 images is taken while the servo has achieved half rotation.

 Images were captured at a low resolution of 320 x 240.

Experimental Results
 To obtain good quality images, it is required for the ArduCam to
have a low resolution.

 Also, there should be a moderate time interval between each

picture captured and the servo rotating at moderate speed.

 The Arducam host app is used for capturing the images.

 The proper port and the desired resolution is chosen.

Experimental Results
 A path is chosen to which the image will be saved on the
PC.
 When the capture button is pressed, a picture will be
saved to the folder.
 Then when motion is detected b the PIR sensor a series
of 24 pictures will be taken and consequently being saved
to the folder.
 The folder created is synced with the user’s Google drive,
which allows the user to have access to the contents
anytime.
 The servo can be controlled manually using an app
known as Blynk.
 User Guide
Installation of camera surveillance system:
 Power the system using 5V and choose a suitable location so as to have the full coverage of the
room.
 The connect the Arduino board to the PC and launch the Arducam host app.
 Select the 320 x 240 resolution, the path to which the pictures are to be saved and tick on the
SaveImag option.
 Create a Google Drive account and sync the folder (selected path) to the Google Drive.
 Access the pictures anytime and anywhere online.
