Border security and military surveillance activities need to be conducted in regions that are highly sensitive and risky for human involvement. This calls for continuous monitoring in regions that are dark or have low visibility, especially at night. This paper presents the design and implementation of a real-time night vision reconnaissance robot for efficient border security and military surveillance activities through the Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio Frequency (RF) communication technologies. The proposed system comprises an Arduino Uno microcontroller, an ESP32-CAM module, RF transmitter and receiver units, a PIR motion sensor, a motor driver circuit, and wireless communication interfaces. The proposed system can efficiently transmit real-time video streams through a Wi-Fi network. This enables efficient and effective remote monitoring and control. The proposed system also comprises a night vision camera for efficient and effective operation in dark or low-light environments. The PIR sensor also enables motion detection, thereby triggering an alarm in case of potential intrusion or unauthorized activities. The experimental results verify that the system provides stable mobility, communication performance, low-latency data transmission, and monitoring capabilities under various environmental conditions. The suggested solution improves situational awareness, reduces the operational risk for the personnel, and offers a cost-effective, scalable, and efficient solution for contemporary automated defense and surveillance systems.
