A low-cost functional prototype was developed to combine live video, PIR motion sensing, a gas-sensor input, and remote notifications. The work covered power management, sensor integration, and real-time data handling.
ESP32-CAM live streaming and local recording, with PIR motion sensing, a gas-sensor input, and external-sensor support.
Lithium-battery backup with a UPS circuit, IR-assisted low-light viewing, and notification paths through Wi-Fi, SMS, or calls.
The Challenge
The design brief was to combine live video, motion sensing, a gas-sensor input, low-light viewing, multiple notification channels, and battery-backed operation on the resource-constrained ESP32-CAM platform.
Our Approach
The prototype combines live streaming and local recording with PIR motion sensing, a gas-sensor input, and external-sensor support. A lithium battery and UPS circuit provide backup operation for a duration that depends on load and capacity; IR LEDs support low-light viewing, and Wi-Fi notifications can be supplemented by SMS or calls.
The Result
The result was a functional monitoring prototype combining video, motion and gas-sensor inputs, multiple notification paths, IR-assisted low-light viewing, and battery-backed operation.
