Abstract: : This project presents the design and development of a Wi-Fi controlled drone for surveillance applications. The proposed system utilizes a quadcopter platform integrated with a Wi-Fi communication module to enable real-time remote operation via smartphones or computers. Unlike traditional radio-controlled drones, this model leverages Wi-Fi connectivity to provide extended control range within network coverage and seamless integration with live video streaming. The drone is equipped with an onboard camera to capture high resolution aerial footage and transmit it instantly to the user interface, ensuring effective monitoring in both indoor and outdoor environments. The project emphasizes lowcost implementation, user friendly control, and efficient power management for enhanced operational duration. Potential applications include security surveillance, disaster management, traffic monitoring, and search and rescue operations. The system demonstrates the feasibility of combining unmanned aerial vehicles with wireless networking technologies.
