Abstract:
In May 2020, Uganda Bureau of Statics (UBOS) estimated that about 70% of Uganda’s population is employed in agriculture. Monkeys however, are a big threat to most of these farmers.
This report therefore, presents a remotely controlled system that will solve the vice.
The system detects motion of bodies that emit infrared radiations in field, captures images and send them with a notification to a remote device, the in-charge (person) can see what triggered motion from the images received and he/she then turn ON button that switches on sound (that scare monkeys) through the blynk application. If motion is detected and its night, the bulb first turns ON. The system continuously checks for any motion around the field.
The system consists of both hardware and software. The hardware part is designed and programmed using the Arduino technology. It detects motion and light, and it send a notification to remote device, it plays audio if turned on by the in-charge.
I recommend further improvement by using strong cameras that can captures distant objects and computer vision technology to minimize human intervention.
