Abstract:
Drones are utilised for a variety of purposes and are a regular sight these days. Selfies, insecticide application, and military monitoring. The issue with surveillance and monitoring is that a lot of applications call for continuous surveillance. Although they have a major disadvantage, drones do offer a good view for surveillance and monitoring. This is the battery life of the drone. The main worry a drone operator has when operating a surveillance drone is that the battery might die and the drone might crash into a building, tree, or other unreachable place from which it cannot be recovered and hence cannot be charged. This is also true for drones used in military surveillance; the risk of a drone's battery dying and becoming unusable places restrictions on drone operators while they are conducting surveillance or monitoring. Here, we've developed a drone that solves these issues by using solar power to continuously charge the device, extending its flying time. It can also land anywhere and remotely recharge its battery so it can take off later. The development and deployment of a solar-powered, self-charging campus surveillance drone are suggested in this research. By offering continual monitoring capabilities without requiring manual charge, the drone seeks to answer the demand for increased security measures on campus. The drone can recharge itself during the day because to the solar panels in its construction, which capture energy from sunshine. The drone can recharge itself during the day because to the solar panels in its construction, which capture energy from sunshine. This maximizes security coverage while minimizing downtime and guarantees continuous operation. Drone capabilities are further enhanced by the incorporation of cutting-edge surveillance technology, which enable detection of threats and constant surveillance. With possible applications in educational institutions, corporate campuses, and large-scale facilities, the suggested method provides an effective and long-lasting answer to campus security concerns.
