This paper describes the design process of a tailless mini copter having surveillance capability by integrating it with Internet of Things. The microprocessor controls different sensors of the tailless mini copter, where python programming language acts as an interface for the raspberry pi microprocessor. The major challenge is to overcome is the inertial rotation of the copter due to the absence of a tail rotor. The inertial rotation can be cancelled out by implementing the co-axial mechanism with contra-rotating propellers. The copter would make its place where other UAVs cannot reach, because of its compact design and low self-weight. Integrating more sensors would open a wide range of applications in different fields.
