In another embodiment, said system protects crops from animals and birds by constantly monitoring them and sounding or alarming them when they are about to harm them; and after sending the PWM signals from the Raspberry Pi to the speaker, the innovation produces sound.
In another embodiment, a data storage device is connected to the Raspberry Pi and is used to store the pre-programmed noises and camera images; and with the help of a wi-fi modem, the device is connected to the cloud.
In another embodiment, the device is controlled by a smartphone application or web application that connects to the cloud as well as uploading inputs to the cloud, such as changing or updating sounds and manually checking if the speaker is working properly or not.
Crops monitoring and protecting from animals and birds is a major problem in hilly areas to protect and monitor major seasonal crops like as Apple, Tomato’s, Grain and Rice etc. There is a need to deploy intelligent system or device to monitor and protect the major seasonal crops in hilly areas from animals and birds. The system or device should be responding as per object activity detection and voice detection and produce the different sounds according objects. Also, there should be a mobile or web application to manage and handle that smart device to change or update the sound and also to operate the speaker automatically and manually.
