CCTV Analytics Motion Heatmap Variant 28 Kit with ESP32 + LED
Build a Standalone CCTV Motion Heatmap Analyser with ESP32-CAM
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Traditional CCTV systems show live feeds or record clips, but they rarely reveal where activity concentrates over time. This kit lets you build a compact device that mounts near any existing camera, runs real-time frame differencing on an ESP32-CAM, and stores motion heatmap bitmaps on an SD card — all without a cloud subscription. Ideal for shop owners, security auditors, and DIY surveillance enthusiasts who need data-driven insights into movement patterns.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a self-contained thermal-like motion heatmap recorder. After pointing the ESP32-CAM at a scene, the device continuously compares consecutive frames, marks changed pixels, and accumulates them into a colour-coded heatmap image saved daily to the SD card. View the results on the onboard OLED or transfer them to a PC for analysis. The enclosure makes it compact enough to tuck behind a desk or mount on a wall.
What You'll Learn
- Programming ESP32-CAM for real-time frame capture and difference analysis
- Implementing pixel-level accumulation algorithms to generate heatmap bitmaps
- Managing SD card file systems and storing timestamped images with DS3231 RTC
- Designing a rugged enclosure and power regulation system for continuous 24/7 operation

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is built for working professionals and serious hobbyists — think B.Tech ECE final-year project students, security system integrators testing on-premises analytics, and engineers building edge-AI prototypes for Smart India Hackathon. If you've already tinkered with Arduino or ESP32 and want to apply computer vision at the edge without depending on a Raspberry Pi or cloud, you'll feel right at home.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion walks you through the entire process step by step, and you can send a WhatsApp message for real-time help from our Bengaluru team.
Can I use this with my existing CCTV camera?
The ESP32-CAM has its own lens, so it operates independently. You can set it up next to any camera in your shop or office to capture the same field of view.
How long can it record heatmap data?
It stores bitmaps daily on the SD card; a 32 GB card can hold months of heatmap images. You can also configure it to overwrite older files to run indefinitely.
Is the soldering difficult?
The kit includes a soldering iron and fine solder wire, but you'll need basic soldering skill. The PCB prototype board makes connections straightforward, and a detailed wiring diagram is provided.
ESP32-CAM runs frame differencing. Accumulates motion pixels into heatmap stored as bitmap on SD.
