Abstract:
In this project we have three independent systems performing three specific functions, which are then connected together to provide remote surveillance capable Land Rover. First of all, we have a remote computer with internet connection the access point for the user. The remote computer is connected to a laptop via internet, giving it unlimited range. Wi-fi connectivity of the laptop provides a medium for transmission control and data for the land rover. Now, the rover which is connected to the laptop via Wi-fi can be accessed by the remote computer. Java sockets are used to connect the two computers over the internet, a Java application is run over the VPN (Virtual Private Network) which displays images registered by the camera installed on the Land Rover and also provides an interface for controlling the land rover. After the set up of the network the remote user can access the land rover, even if no one is monitoring the laptop which provides the interface between the two. Live images from the camera mounted a top the rover will help the remote user to navigate the rover from any arbitrary distance. The rover can be navigated anywhere within the range of the wireless network.
