Abstract

This project focuses on developing a mobile surveillance robot using a Wi-Fi-enabled module controlled via a smartphone, designed for discreet observation and remote monitoring. The spy robot system includes essential hardware such as a camera, motor drivers, batteries, and wheels for movement. The main component is the AI Thinker ESP32-CAM module, featuring an ESP32-S processor and OV2640 camera, capable of capturing and streaming video at 640×480 resolution. The camera offers good performance in varying light conditions, ensuring clear real-time video transmission via the HTTP protocol. The robot’s movement is powered by two DC motors, controlled through the L293D motor driver, allowing a speed of 10 cm/s with smooth directional control. Commands for navigation and operation are sent from the user’s smartphone, while the video stream is transmitted over Wi-Fi, supporting a range of up to 50 meters. This enables the user to manage the robot’s movement and video output remotely with ease. The system’s flexibility, ease of deployment, and cost-effectiveness make it highly adaptable for various real-time monitoring applications, offering a reliable solution for surveillance tasks in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Keywords: ESP32-S processor, surveillance robot, Wi-Fi module, OV2640 camera, HTTP communication protocol, remote monitoring
