The Installation of a 24-hour Real-Time Surveillance System Using Wi-Fi Cameras, Solar Panels, and Laptops in the Female Hostels of the University of Cross River State

Abstract

Due to the growing security risks in the University of Cross River State's female residence halls, an efficient surveillance system is required. The installation of a round-the-clock, real-time monitoring system utilizing computers, solar panels and Wi-Fi cameras is shown in this study. The system is designed to monitor the two female hostels to prevent harassment, theft and incursions. Four dual-lens Wi-Fi cameras are used in the suggested system; they are positioned thoughtfully to provide views of the half-walls and gates, which are the usual access points for criminals. Forty viewers are electronically attached to these cameras, guaranteeing accessibility and extensive coverage. Without depending on grid power, the approach improves security and guarantees uninterrupted functioning. The architecture, components, installation process, MATLAB Simulink representation of the connection, literature review and performance evaluation of the system are all covered in detail in this paper. The outcomes show a dependable and effective surveillance system with real-time recording and monitoring.
