Aerial surveillance system using UAV

Abstract

In today's world, there is a growing need for surveillance in order to maintain the decorum at a place and ensure the safety and security of its people. An aerial surveillance system will be worthwhile in this regard. This paper describes how an aerial surveillance system can be built using an unmanned aerial vehicle or a drone. We start by delineating the features of our aerial surveillance system and then discuss some of the technologies that we have used in building it. After that we mention how we have incorporated those technologies into a drone and have made them work together harmoniously in order to achieve our desired aerial surveillance system. This system will be a convenient and efficient alternative to current surveillance systems. It can be used in peace keeping activities and also real time monitoring of a place at any time of the day. The aim is to provide fast and efficient surveillance at an affordable rate so that it can be used widely at private, institutional and governmental level.
