In order to integrate the IP Camera within the web-
application that has been designed, this technique could be 
accomplished by employing the dynamic domain name that 
hold the public IP of the gateway (Router), which is 
connected to the IP Camera physically. This dynamic

domain name should be configured in the router. In order to 
redirect the requests to the IP Camera port by use the 
forwarding ports. As a result, the peasant will be able to 
monitor the status of the plants inside the greenhouse in real 
time. Fig. 18 displays the result of employ the IP Camera.

ONCLUSION
 
After completing the implementation (Hardware and 
Software) of the intelligent greenhouse, the resulting 
prototype has numerous advantages like employing three 
intelligent control systems (Cooling/Heating System, 
Irrigation Control System, Light Control System).
These control systems are managed by Fuzzy controllers 
which designed and programmed inside the microcontroller 
(standalone) without requiring any external processing, this 
provides the ability to describe the system as practical 
system. Also, the IoT provide features that may make the 
works of the peasant much easier by enable them to monitor 
their plants and make a suitable decision by 
Fig. 18 IP Camera’s display the internal view of the 
greenhouse. 
Adjusting the set-points to accommodate any changes 
may effect on growing the plants. This work compromised 
attempts to found solutions for the Global IP, Dynamic IP, 
and blocking ports by ISP companies. The Global IP can 
come over it when using cloud technology, the dynamic IP 
can solve by using NO-IP or DDNS, etc. 
The weak points in this works could be described as follow: 
The IoT depend on the public internet to deliver its data, 
so that it could be effected directly by the internet problems 
such congestion. 
Also, the LDR has been used as light intensity sensor. 
This tool may produce unprecise result and that may effect 
on the overall system performance such as the overshot that 
appear in Fig.16.
