Security System Design in a Crop

Abstract

A traditional scarecrow does not scare birds; subsequently, crops will be demolished by birds during the growing season. Moreover, because farms are often invaded and crops stolen during harvest, the farmer and his dogs are forced to stay and protect the crops. However, this is not efficient for a large farm. Therefore, a remote crop monitoring security system is necessary. In order to maintain sufficient electrical power used by the system, green electrical energy generated by both a solar board and a wind generator are adopted. This system placed in each section of the farm includes five ultrasonic sensors, a microcontroller, a twinkling lighting, and a speaker unit. To ensure efficiency when using the crop security system, crops in huge areas will be divided into several small zones for monitoring. Each zone will have an individual crop security system. When a sensor detects an intrusion of birds, the alarm and light will be initiated. With this, any birds or other intruders will be scared and leave the field.
