Many farmers in rural areas depend on Agriculture and one of the significant threats that the agents subjected to on their farms is the destruction of crops by animals that enter their farms. Some of the conventional surveillance systems, like manual surveillance, fencing, or scarecrows, tend to be unreliable, expensive, and inefficient. In order to prevail over this challenge, Field Guard offers a smart and automatic animal detection and alert system that aims to secure agricultural land with low-cost electronic parts. The system uses a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor to sense the movement of animals, and this signal is given to an Arduino UNO microcontroller. When detected, this system triggers sound and visual cues, a buzzer and lights to scare away the animals as a relay module. The system uses a rechargeable battery so that it will maintain operation even when there is a power shortage in remote locations. The suggested solution is economical, energy-saving and simple to install; thus, it applies to small and medium-sized farmers. This can be improved in the future with the addition of GSM or IoT connectivity alerts, as well as powering it with solar energy, which offers a solid, environmentally friendly solution to crop protection.
