Repurposing Unused Android Devices as Network Camera Nodes for Distributed Image Acquisition and Real‑Time PC‑Side Video Streaming with Sentinel

Описание и применение

Использование неактивных Android‑устройств в качестве узлов сети для распределённого захвата изображений и потоковой передачи видео в реальном времени с помощью Sentinel.

Задача

Organizations often have idle Android devices that could be leveraged for surveillance but lack a cost‑effective, distributed camera solution.

Результат

The solution enabled real‑time, distributed video monitoring using existing hardware, reducing costs and simplifying deployment.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Identify and gather unused Android devices.
• 2. Install the CCTV‑Smartphone‑AI‑Monitoring app on each device.
• 3. Configure each device to connect to the local network and register with Sentinel.
• 4. Set up Sentinel on a PC to receive and aggregate video streams.
• 5. Enable real‑time playback and optional AI analytics on the PC.
• 6. Monitor feeds through Sentinel’s dashboard and take action as needed.
