IOT BASED ANTI-POACHING ALARM SYSTEM FOR TREES IN FOREST USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays there are many incidents about smuggling of trees like Sandal, Sagwan etc. These trees are very costly and meagre. They are used in the medical sciences, cosmetics. To restrict their smuggling and to save forests around the globe some preventive measures needs to be deployed. We have developed a system which can be used to restrict smuggling. The design system uses three sensors tilt sensor(to detect the inclination of tree when its being cut),temperature sensor(to detect forest fires),sound sensor(for effective detection of illegal logging i.e. even the sounds generated while axing the tree are also sensed).Data generated from these sensors is continuously monitored with the aid of Blynk App. With respect to the sensors, their output devices are activated through relay switch. For tilt sensor and sound sensor a buzzer is activated and for temperature sensor a water pump is activated. Generated data is stored in Blynk Server over the Wi-Fi module. Forest officials are notified when any event occurs so that appropriate action can be taken.
