FEATURES
Page | 37

9.Features:
I) Voice Tracking:
Voice tracking, also known as audio surveillance, leverages the capabilities of the ESP32
microcontroller in the Multipurpose IoT Tracker project. The theory behind voice tracking
involves capturing and monitoring audio data discreetly. The ESP32's processing power is
harnessed to manage real-time audio recordings via a cellular network. This functionality
caters to scenarios where discreet monitoring of conversations is crucial for security and
surveillance. The integration of voice tracking enhances the project's versatility, providing
users with a comprehensive solution for audio surveillance, aligning with the increasing
demand for multifunctional IoT tracking devices.
II) Location Tracking:

Location tracking is a fundamental aspect of the Multipurpose IoT Tracker, relying on the
A9G module for GPS tracking. The theory behind location tracking involves utilizing
satellite signals to determine precise geographical coordinates. The A9G module ensures
accurate and real-time location data retrieval, enabling users to monitor the device's
movement efficiently. This theory aligns with the demand for real-time tracking solutions,
catering to scenarios such as asset tracking, child safety, and personal security. The
integration of location tracking enhances the project's practicality, providing users with a
reliable tool for monitoring and securing valuable assets or individuals.
III) SOS Feature:

The SOS feature in the Multipurpose IoT Tracker serves as a critical element for enhancing
personal safety. The theory behind the SOS feature involves the integration of a dedicated
button that, when pressed and held, triggers emergency communication. This
communication includes sending the user's precise location via SMS and initiating an SOS
call. The theory aligns with the need for immediate assistance in emergency situations,
contributing to the overall safety and security of users. The SOS feature enhances the
project's functionality, making it a valuable tool for individuals in potentially vulnerable
situations, ensuring a prompt response when needed.

CHAPTER-10
FUTURE SCOPE
Page | 39

10.Future Scope :
I) Enhanced Communication:
Integrated Speaker and Microphone: Transform the device into a walkie-talkie
for two-way communication, facilitating real-time interaction during emergencies
or asset-tracking scenarios.
II) Visual Security Features:
Miniature Camera: Equip the device with a camera to capture photos or short
video clips during emergencies. These visuals can provide valuable situational
awareness and evidence to authorities.
III) Advanced Connectivity:
LTE Module Upgrade: Replace the GPRS module with an LTE module to
leverage the faster and more reliable 4G network. This enables real-time image
and video transmission during emergencies, potentially even facilitating live
video streaming.
IV) Display Integration:
Add a small, low-power LCD or OLED display to show real-time data like GPS
coordinates, battery level, status messages, and potentially even captured images.
This enhances user experience and reduces reliance on external devices.
V) Additional Considerations:
• Battery Life: Integrating additional features like a speaker, camera, and LTE will
require careful consideration of power consumption. Optimizing power usage and
exploring larger battery capacities will be crucial.
• Data Security: Implementing robust security measures is essential, especially
when transmitting sensitive data like images and video. Encryption and
authentication protocols should be prioritized.
• User Interface: Upgrading functionalities might necessitate refinement of the user
interface, both on the device and through the mobile application (if implemented),
to ensure intuitive control and information access.
• Regulations and Ethical Considerations: Certain features, like live video
streaming, might raise legal and ethical concerns regarding privacy and
• surveillance. It's crucial to adhere to relevant regulations and prioritize
responsible development practices.
