Fig 1:- Layout of Surveillance quadcopter
The layout of the surveillance quadcopter in fig 1 shows the algorithm in which overall working of the quadcopter is shown.
As of first when the user inputs or directions are given, they are received by flight control board through transmitter. All the
information will be transmitted to the ESC’s (Used to run the motors in the required speed), and from there to the DC motors. The
rotation of motors and the propellers make the quadcopter to hover. The sensors present in the KK board, Accelerometer and the
gyroscope (used to know the tilt of the drone).

The KK multi-controller, connected by the receiver and transmitter through the wireless remote controller. All the four
electronic speed controllers are connected to the KK board, which are used for controlling the speed of the DC motors ,which are
connected to the ESC’s, When we want the drone to fly for surveillance work, first we have to send information to the KK board,
through the transmitter and then controller sends the information to propellers, esc’s and the motors through the sensors used like
gyroscope and the accelerator. The user, who is using the remote can send the directions, in which drone have to move and all the
operations will be performed manually by wireless remote.

up and can act at right angles to the movement of the plane.
The plane is maintained within the air. is the Drag being the
second one. It is applied in the opposite direction to the
movement of the traditional plane. This is because of
opposing breaking action of the air on the horizontal and is
against the advance of the plane. As this maintenance of the
horizontal is by the action of the air due to the displacement
of the aircraft, the lift and also the drag are referred to as
aerodynamic forces. This force is due to gravity, the load of
the plane, is meant to the lift. The balance of the lift and
also the load results in constant altitude within the plane.
To confirm that the plane continues to maneuver forward, it
is necessary to produce a opposite force that compensates
for the force called drag. This force is termed as the thrust.
System of propulsion of the planes will generate thrust, the
engines. Within the case of the flight is at cruising speed,
the role of the engine is thus to make amends for the force
of drag, but not to make the plane mount. On the opposite
side, at the time of take-off, the altitude of flight is obtained
by the employment of engine power.
V. CONCLUSION
The “Surveillance Quad-copter” is a highly helping

system with the help of the wireless remote controller And
we can the live video over the areas which ever we want to
observe. It can also able to take the pictures by the camera,
whenever user gives the commands. This also helps to keep
a record of details of the incidents that happened at the
wanted areas. It will give us the live video and audio
transmission from the areas where we cannot go and access
the information. Overall specifications tell that all
approaches will be trying to provide better result in terms
of quality of the video and picture detection.
