ABSTRACT: In this project, we propose a security
patrolling robot that uses night vision camera for
securing any premises. The robotic vehicle moves at
particular intervals and is equipped with night vision
camera and sound sensors. It uses a predefined line to
follow its path while patrolling. It stops at particular
points and moves to next points if sound are detected.
The system uses IR based path following system for
patrolling assigned area. It monitors each area to detect
any intrusion using 360degree rotating HD camera. It
has the ability to monitor sound in the premises. Any
sound after company is closed and it starts moving
towards the sound on its predefined path. It then scans
the area using its camera to detect any human faces
detected. It captures and starts transmitting the images
of the situation immediately on sound or human face
detection. Here we use IOT Local Area Network (LAN)
for receiving transmitted images and displaying them to
user with alert sounds. Thus we put forward a fully
autonomous security robot that operates tirelessly and
patrols large areas on its own to secure the facility.
Keywords: Night vision, patrol robot, sound sensor, IOT,
security, machine learning, line follower, image

1. INTRODUCTION
A significant proportion of Indian firms might have faced
data theft issues recently. Around 41 per cent of these
companies saw such instances, compared to the global
average of 29 per cent, showed a survey by a risk
management and consultancy firm, released on Monday.
India’s number is higher than other countries such as the
United States (26 per cent), the United Kingdom (32 per
cent) and Japan (27 per cent). Autonomous security
robots are a new groundbreaking innovation in
advanced security and surveillance technology. Guards
patrolling an area with flashlights and batons never
worked very well; however, today there is an
immergence of smart security systems with intelligent
sensors, embedded systems, autonomous control
mechanism and mobile application. The first security
surveillance robot was proposed by Everett, H. & Gage,
D.W, 1999 in “Mobile Detection, Assessment and
Response System (MDARS)”. Since then security robots
have become a growing interest with increasing
developments in research and application. The idea
behind this is to secure the whole area of a building or
premises. Any small sound results in the alert and robot
automatically goes to the particular area and captures
the image of that area and sends it to the user. Raspberry
Pi connected with the camera plays an important role in
making an automatic robotic system. During the
occurrence of an abnormal event like theft, the patrol
robot detects the sound and captures the image of the
intruder. The image of the intruder is sent to the security
department via Email and Short Messaging Service
(SMS). An automatic patrolling vehicle acts as a security
patroller in the security system, which can monitor those
dead zones of the traditional fixed surveillance system.
Countless applications today are mobile service security
robots, including autonomous navigation, security
patrolling, housework, search-and-rescue operations,
material handling, manufacturing, and automated
transportation systems. Autonomous navigation remains
one of the primary challenges in the mobile-robot
industry; many control algorithms and techniques have
been recently developed that aim to overcome this
challenge. We use line follower with IR Sensors to
perform night patrol navigation. The security patrol
robot will utilize several sensors and motors in order to
navigate indoors. It will also be able to communicate and
be controlled via Wi-Fi.
2. EXISTING SYSTEM
In the existing system, robot has to be controlled
remotely where the person has to monitor the area using
remote control and more human resource is needed for
this operation of the patrol robot. Some systems require
a smart phone for controlling the night vision robot.
Some use local host webpage hence the control range is
limited to local network range. Lacking of few parts,
autonomous operation requires work force to operate
3. PROPOSED METHODLOGY
In this proposed system, Raspberry pi is installed with
the night vision camera which help the system to go for
the automation and help to find the human or any
problem detected using the sound sensor and according
to the sound produced it automatically goes to that area
