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 low-cost implementation, userfriendly control, and efficient power management for enhanced operational duration. Potential applications include security surveillance, disaster management, traffic monitoring, and searchand-rescue operations. The system demonstrates the feasibility of combining unmanned aerial vehicles with wireless networking technologies to create an effective, smart, and accessible surveillance solution.
