Anti-Smuggling Alarm System for Trees in Forest using Raspberry pi
Nowadays, There are trees like Sandal; Sagwan etc are going to be smuggled. These trees are very costly and meagre. These are used in the medical and cosmetic products. To restrict their smuggling and to save forests around the globe some preventive measures needs to be deployed. To restrict the smuggling, we have developed a system which consists of two units i.e. Tree Unit and Main Server unit. The Tree Unit consists of MEMS sensor (to detect the inclination of tree when its being cut), Fire sensor (to detect forest fires) and GPS system. Data generated from these sensors is continuously monitored with the raspberry pi. Through the sensors, their output devices are activated via relay switch. The data of different tree units collected by a base station (Main Server Unit) by using WIFI module. For MEMS sensor a buzzer is activated and for Fire sensor a water pump is activated. Generated data is stored in Server over the Wi-Fi module. Forest officials get the alert when any event occurs so that appropriate action taken place. Camera is used to capture Image and send to Gmail. The location where smuggling happens can be tracked by GPS system.
