Final project

Update from 11.05

To make a laser pointer for a cat, I will need the following components xiao esp32s3 sense, two sg90 servos and a laser diode. The servo and diode programming process is described in week 9. During the development process, the work was checked by the future owner of the device.

Update from 5.04

My final project on a security system gradually transformed into a cat monitoring system.

Initially, I was planning to build a security system for the house, but by the 7th week, I decided to design a house for the cat.

This led to the idea that this system could be tested on a cat house.

Then came the idea that instead of a signaling remote, a controlled laser could be made to entertain the pet when I'm not at home.

Therefore, now my final project is an interactive house for the cat with remote control.

For this, I plan to make an automated laser pointer and video surveillance with remote access to the broadcast. I will use esp32s3 with camera two servos, laser diode, infrared sensor hc-sr501

On the seventh week, I built the house itself, and now I'm continuing to work on the electronic component.

The surveillance system for the area.

Camera with built-in motion sensor:

The camera can automatically activate when motion is detected within the private property.

The motion sensor helps in timely detection of potential intruders.

Notification to a remote indicator (LED remote control):

If the camera detects motion or potential intrusion, the system sends a notification to a remote indicator, such as an LED remote control.

The LED can flash or stay lit continuously, indicating the presence of an event.

Remote control:

The user can have a remote control to arm/disarm the system or check the security status.

Convenient control can be particularly useful for homeowners who are away from home.

Data storage system:

Provide a system for storing recordings or changes on a server or cloud storage.

Allow the homeowner to view archived recordings for event analysis.

Mobile application:

Develop a mobile application for devices so that homeowners can receive notifications and view video recordings in real-time.

Provide the ability to remotely control the system through the application.

Energy efficiency:

Pay attention to the energy efficiency of the system, especially if it operates continuously.

Provide the ability to adjust the activation time of the system to optimize energy consumption.

I want to use ESP32-CAM to implement such a system
