Rohan Paranjpe, Hiralal Purohit, Rohan Joshi . Solar Powered Wireless Intrusion Detection System in Agricultural Farms. International Journal of Computer Applications. 178, 15 ( May 2019), 54-56. DOI=10.5120/ijca2019918918
In recent times we observe that farmers are committing suicide because they cannot cope up with the physical, mental, financial and various factors that push them over the edge. One such factor is the constant encroachment by animals on farmlands thereby incurring an irreparable loss to the farmers. Often the fully grown crops get razed to the ground when animals intrude into the farmland. This problem is rising at an alarming rate as due to deforestation the animals living in the region wander off in the human territory. To prevent such mishaps, farmers need to be on their guard when crops are almost ready to be harvested. Farmers have to guard their agricultural lands throughout the chilly weather or unforgiving heat at night. Guarduino is an intelligent animal farm intrusion detection system which is based on IoT using basic components like Arduino Mega, Proximity Sensor, LED, Buzzer, WiFi Module, LCD. It solves this burdensome problem as it’s cheap, power efficient, eco-friendly, reduces manual labor of the farmer, reduces the overall loss incurred to the farmer by a decent margin hence giving him a peace of mind. Guarduino also detects the precise location of the intrusion and acts as a surveillance system. There will be LED light stream at the fence which will make the animal aware of some presence in the area and temporarily causing a stun so as to just scare the animal away from the plantation. WiFi module has enabled us to gather intrusion data on the cloud. To prevent such mishaps, farmers need to be on their guard when crops are almost ready to be harvested.If such an intrusion is detected quickly by the use of IOT, the farmer need not have his physical presence to detect an intrusion but will be able to respond quickly if such a thing happens.
