Smart animal detection alarm system

A smart animal detection and alarm system uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the presence of animals in a monitored area and trigger an appropriate response. These systems often employ cameras, passive infrared (PIR), or acoustic sensors to detect movement, body heat, or sound, which is then processed by machine learning algorithms (like the YOLO model) to classify the animal species and filter out false alarms caused by environmental factors.

Upon positive detection of an unwanted animal, the system can initiate a range of non-lethal deterrents, such as loud buzzers, flashing lights, or water sprays, to safely scare the animal away. Simultaneously, the system leverages Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to send real-time alerts to a homeowner’s smartphone or a farmer’s device via SMS, email, or a dedicated app, including details like the animal’s type, location, and a timestamp. This automated, data-driven approach offers an effective and environmentally friendly solution to mitigate human-animal conflicts and prevent property or crop damage without the need for constant human monitoring or harmful methods.
