Abstract This paper proposes the use of remote control car for intrusion detection. The scheme concerns the use of a camera, remote control car, TCP server and smartphone. The arrangement allows us to observe any given location in real time, through a camera mounted on the RC car. The RC car is controlled by a computer via Bluetooth and the commands to the computer can be sent using a smartphone application through a TCP network. As an example application the arrangement was used to observe a residence by obtaining images from there at specified intervals. Application of Bluetooth for computer to RC car communication has allowed the achievement of maximum communication speed and we have also shown that the proposed scheme has less BER.

1 Introduction Current security systems employ video cameras for observing remote locations through a designated security centre [1–3]. They can be used to periodically take pictures of the location for assessing the situation, or to know if there have been any intrusions. However, in most such systems the camera is fixed and so has a limited field of vision [4–6]. There are always areas which lie outside the cameras range. Some implementations circumvent this problem by using multiples cameras, each

one observing different regions. But this can be very expensive, as it requires more equipment. This study proposes the use of a mobile RC Car for removing the problem of cost. A camera is mounted on top of an RC Car so that it can take security pictures and send it to a remote server. Since the field of vision of the camera is limited, for those areas that lie outside the camera’s range, the RC Car itself is moved so that the camera points at the desired location. The RC car communicates with the server through Bluetooth technology in the 2.4 GHz band range. The camera on the RC Car can take pictures at designated intervals of time, and send to be stored in the remote server via bluetooth. The remote server is also connected to a smartphone through a TCP network, so that the image may be viewed in the smartphone as well. Furthermore the smartphone can be used to send commands to the RC Car via the remote server, through a designated application installed on the smartphone. A BER (Bit Error Rate) analysis performed has also shown that the BER of this setup is very low and is in the acceptable range of 10^-5. In this paper, Sect. 2 gives an introduction to the related preliminary study. Section 3 describes the proposed scheme in detail, including the hardware and the software parts. Section 4 gives a performance evaluation of this scheme whi
