Need an idea -- project about surveillance system camera

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on upgrading a surveillance system camera project using a Raspberry Pi as the controller. The user currently employs a PIR sensor for motion detection and seeks to enhance the system with features such as video recording, color tracking, and audio recording capabilities. Suggestions include using a servo motor for tracking specific colors and integrating a microphone to trigger video recording based on sound detection.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Raspberry Pi hardware and software
  • Familiarity with PIR sensors and their applications
  • Knowledge of video compression techniques
  • Basic skills in programming for servo motor control
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Raspberry Pi camera modules and their specifications
  • Learn about implementing color tracking algorithms using OpenCV
  • Explore audio processing techniques for sound-triggered events
  • Investigate video streaming protocols for network transmission
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for electronics enthusiasts, students working on surveillance projects, and developers interested in integrating Raspberry Pi with camera systems for security applications.

hello. i need a idea what can i upgrade in my project fyp. i want to make a project about survillance system camera. so i need to know what type sensor that need to upgrade or what can i improve right now.

Welcome to PF!

Can you explain your project better?

What is the primary goal for it?

first of all, i want to thank you because reply my post.the goal is about security system. For know, i want to make a system that can be recorded a video.i have using the pir sensor that can be recorded when have the movement. so i want upgrade new thing in my project.

Are you familiar with GoPro cameras? Or even just simple USB cameras...

Can you say more about the overall system? What is the controller (PC, laptop, tablet, Arduino, etc.)? Are you sending the video data over a network? If so, what kind of network (RF, wired, protocol, etc.)? :smile:

i don't familiar with GoPro cameras actually. the controller that i want to use is raspberry pi.raspberry pi can use a wifi to send the data over network.are you all familiar with raspberry pi?

Yes, I'm familiar with the Pi. Do you know what camera you will use? Do you know what datarate you will use, and what kind of video compression?
 
How about adding a tracking feature where the camera tracks some color like a section of red?

You could use a servo motor attached to the Pi.

Another idea would be to add a microphone to record the sound and possibly to start the video recording when you hear a sound.

thank jedishrfu because give me new idea.'camera track some color like a section of red'...what sensor i need to use?...do you have read file pdf what i have post?...what do you think...it easy to do that??

I think you'd need to use the pi to scan a video snapshot and based on where it spies the red color then move the camera a bit and check again.

We can't read you thoughts here. Can you be more explicit with what you're thinking?

What controller? Why do you want to change it? What are you trying to accomplish with the change?

Are you simply trying to make a project distinctly different from your classmate?

This is obviously a schoolwork project, and you are showing zero effort on your schoolwork, asking us to do if for you. That is cheating based on your lack of effort. This thread is closed.

If you still want our help, re-post this in the Homework Help forums, and fill out the HH Template showing your work. That is the only way you will get help on your schoolwork here.
