Design of Borders Surveillance System Using Radar and Camera

It is very important to protect country's borders from intruders who carry out illegal activities such as terror attacks or smuggling of people or their properties. Borders should be monitored to avoid the above-mentioned risks by using border surveillance system which consists of ground surveillance radar and camera to achieve this mission. To perform the monitoring, signals are sent from radar to the microcontroller, according to target location, in order to move the camera to capture the target by using two servo motors, horizontally according to pan angle, and vertically according to tilt angle. As a result the movement of a camera is the same as target‟s location on the radar. A camera is interfaced to a computer to record a video signal and displays the target's location captured on a computer monitor.
