        abstract = {In today's world, the need for surveillance devices at home has grown significantly. An immobile home surveillance system's goal is to improve the security and monitoring of a residential property by providing ongoing monitoring and warning residents or authorities of any unauthorized or suspicious activity. The main goal of this paper is to design and develop a system to control the camera using mobile phone remotely. The system comprises of ESP-32 CAM, a telegram bot and a PIR (passive infrared) sensor as main components. Compared to conventional security devices, the camera is OFF for majority of time, and gets ON while motion is detected. The system takes direct AC mains connection as power source. This   system provides a very cost effective and power saving solution. },
