Automated security monitoring systems are the wave of the future. These systems provide people a means of safeguarding their valuable possessions against robberies. Common types of these systems uses fixed-positioned cameras located at vital points inside a room. This particular setup provides camera coverage for all parts of the room but is uneconomical because it requires multiple video cameras. This project focused on the design of a surveillance camera equipped with an auto-tracking feature. This modern advancement on technology has beefed up the capabilities of an ordinary intruder tracking system. The basic building blocks of the system includes the integration of a surveillance camera, a black and white monitor, a DC motor, infrared sensors, relays, limit switches, and buzzers. The camera and monitor are the eyes and ears of the system because they provide the means to observe the total area of the room..
