The idea is the brainchild of Rishi Gaurav Bhatnagar, he loves hacking around with hardware and social media. ####Motivation The motivation for this project is the recent flood situation in Chennai. Media has completely ignore the situation there. You will not see them talking about it. Social media can be used to update people about situation of various places around the city.
Idea here is to create a network of camera bots that can update the situation of various sections of disaster areas using Social Media as the medium. Which is the first step to let the world know what the situation is.
