According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention introduces an innovative solar-powered sensor device that integrates infrared motion detection, acoustic sensing, and automated deterrence mechanisms to prevent crop raiding by wildlife and birds in rural agricultural fields. This eco-friendly system employs non-lethal auditory and visual signals to effectively dissuade animal intrusion while ensuring biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture practices. [510] The device features a comprehensive sensor architecture that combines passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors, sound recognition modules, and solar photovoltaic panels for autonomous operation in off-grid environments. Upon detecting animal movement along field boundaries, the system triggers high-frequency beeping and flashing light sequences to deter potential crop raiders without causing harm. [515] Preliminary field evaluations demonstrate significant reductions in crop damage incidents and enhanced monitoring efficiency compared to traditional manual patrolling or scarecrow-based techniques. The solar-powered design ensures low-cost, sustainable operation, making it particularly suitable for rural farming communities facing wildlife conflict challenges. [520] This invention aligns with national initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture, rural innovation, and self-reliance. Future enhancements will incorporate AI-based image recognition for species identification and data analytics for real-time intrusion mapping, further optimizing the system's effectiveness and scalability. [525] By offering a humane, automated solution for mitigating human-wildlife conflict, this device contributes to food security, biodiversity preservation, and improved rural livelihoods. The solar-powered sensor technology presents a promising approach for fostering ecological balance and sustainable agricultural practices in regions where farmlands interface with wildlife habitats. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [501] The present invention relates to a solar-powered automated sensor device designed to prevent crop raiding by wildlife and birds in rural agricultural fields. The system integrates infrared motion detection, acoustic sensing, and non-lethal deterrence mechanisms to mitigate human-wildlife conflict and promote sustainable agriculture practices. [505] The invention encompasses a comprehensive sensor architecture that combines passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors, sound recognition modules, and solar photovoltaic panels for autonomous operation in off-grid environments. Upon detecting animal intrusion along field boundaries, the device triggers auditory and visual deterrent signals to dissuade potential crop raiders without inflicting harm. [510] This eco-friendly technology aims to reduce crop damage incidents, enhance monitoring efficiency, and ensure biodiversity conservation in rural farming communities facing wildlife conflict challenges. The solar-powered design enables low-cost, sustainable operation, making it particularly suitable for remote agricultural regions. [515] The invention aligns with national initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture, rural innovation, and self-reliance. Future enhancements will incorporate AI-based image recognition for species identification and data analytics for real-time intrusion mapping, further optimizing the system's effectiveness and scalability. [520] By offering a humane, automated solution for mitigating human-wildlife conflict, this device contributes to food security, biodiversity preservation, and improved rural livelihoods.
