Drone Perimeter Guard Variant 4 Kit with ESP32 + Motor
ESP32 Perimeter Guard Drone Kit – Build an Autonomous Surveillance Drone with GPS & Radar
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Your own autonomous security drone – that's what you'll bring to life with this kit. Designed for engineers and serious makers, it patrols a pre-programmed GPS waypoint circuit while streaming live video, and its onboard radar modules detect movement to trigger alerts. Whether you're securing a remote farm, a factory perimeter, or developing a surveillance prototype, this build gives you a complete, functional system you can deploy immediately.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble and program a fully operational quadcopter on an F450 frame. It flies a GPS-guided patrol route automatically, sends a real-time camera feed to your phone or laptop, and uses dual RCWL-0516 radar sensors to spot intruders within a 5-metre radius. The NRF24L01 modules enable long-range telemetry, so you can monitor status from hundreds of metres away.
What You'll Learn
- Programming ESP32 for GPS waypoint navigation and autonomous flight logic
- Integrating and calibrating NEO-6M GPS modules with mission planning firmware
- Streaming live video from the ESP32-CAM and accessing it over WiFi
- Interfacing RCWL-0516 Doppler radar sensors for motion-based intruder alerts

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for advanced engineering students and professionals: B.Tech ECE/EEE final-year candidates prototyping surveillance drones, Smart India Hackathon teams tackling security challenges, and IIT/NIT/VIT research scholars needing a reliable autonomous platform. It’s also ideal for ATL tinkering lab mentors introducing advanced drone concepts to adult learners.
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?
Scan the QR code to launch the AI companion, which walks you through each wiring step and code upload. If needed, message us on WhatsApp for direct engineer support within 24 hours.
Does this drone require a licence to fly in India?
Regulations differ by drone weight and usage. This kit typically builds a nano or micro category UAV; check DGCA guidelines – you may need a UIN or remote pilot licence depending on final all-up weight and flight zone.
Can I extend flight time or add a tether?
Yes, the XT60 connector makes it easy to swap in larger LiPo packs. For tethered power, you can supply 12V via the LM2596 buck converter – perfect for stationary perimeter patrols without battery changes.
How far can the live camera feed reach?
The ESP32-CAM creates a local WiFi network with a range of about 100 metres outdoors. For remote viewing, you can pair it with the NRF24L01 telemetry link or connect through a repeater.
Tethered ESP32 drone patrols a GPS waypoint circuit and streams live camera feed while radar module detects intruders.
