Surveillance Camera using IoT and Raspberry Pi

Security remains as one of the most important aspects of smart cities. At present, due to the increased population and urbanization there is a huge demand for smart security system. But, existing CCTV and IP cameras are inefficient interms of image quality and these systems require large amount of storage space. Hence, this paper proposed a surveillance camera by employing Raspberry Pi and IoT. It will make use of raspicam camera for capturing the images. The proposed surveillance system requires less storage space as it records the video and captures the images only when the motion is detected in the monitored area. Motion detection can be done by using PIR sensor. The implementation of the proposed surveillance camera is simple, where the captured data is encrypted at the transmitter side and decrypted at the receiver side. Hence, the proposed system provides a secured data transmission. The live feeding is deployed by using Raspicam Remote App. The proposed model can be easily configured, where it allows us to test the image filters of the camera. Hence, the proposed surveillance camera using raspberry pi and IoT appears to be more superior to the conventional IP cameras.
