Project Overview

The Surveillance Robotic Car is a hybrid hardware-software robotic system designed for remote patrolling. Driven by a custom native Android application, users steer the vehicle via a virtual multi-axis joystick and control camera viewing angles (via dual pan-tilt servo motors) over low-latency WebSockets. The hardware utilizes an ESP8266 NodeMCU to process wheel traction motor signals, while a separate ESP32-CAM hosts a wireless video web server. The system automatically captures snapshot frames and broadcasts motion updates directly to a Telegram security channel.
