Abstract : This article presents the designing and implementation of an IoT-enabled remote surveillance rover for human-assisted applications. The proposed system consists of two modules, namely the Remote Sensing Monitoring Unit (RSMU) and Image Acquisition Module (IAM), for controlling the Rover and video streaming respectively. The Rover (RSMU) unit is controlled through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed on the Blynk platform. A dashboard is designed to monitor the temperature, humidity, and gas levels around the rover premises in addition to the live video streaming. The video streaming is done through the Image Acquisition Module (IAM). The live streaming can be transferred to multiple authorized users using the port forwarding methodology by using NGROK application. The proposed system is deployed in an open ground and validated the functionality by operating it for one hour. Moreover, the expected current consumption and the battery life expectancy of the developed system are estimated as 287 mA and 2.5 days, respectively.
