Design and development of an Aerial Surveillance Security System
This project addresses security challenges for corporate institutions and law enforcement by providing a tool for surveillance in hard-to-reach locations, but it is incremental as it applies existing drone technology to a specific use case.
The paper tackles the problem of remote security monitoring in inaccessible areas by developing an aerial surveillance system using drones to transmit live video to a ground station for analysis, enabling real-time event tracking in rugged or water-based terrains.
Aerial security means performing security-aimed monitoring and surveillance operations with the help of airborne vehicles. This kind of activities suggest that human officers (security organizations, law enforcement, police etc.) would be able to remotely monitor and view video and data acquired from Drones while planning and evaluating their operations. The spectrum of applications where drones are used for security purposes is vast: scouting and reporting emergencies, monitoring accidents and crimes, surveillance of a certain landscape area, operating in highly busy and pedestrians as well as their tracking from up in the sky, and so on. The project will serve as a bridge to connect actual happening in areas that cannot be navigated easily by security personnel of corporate institution as the Drone will be used to hover and record the actual happening as it transmit to a ground station which records and analyses the events as they streams in, also due its capability of flying over different altitudes the drone can generally be used on areas with rugged terrains or over water bodies for a time dependent on its power capacity.
