Wildlife Intrusion Detection and Protection System

The problem SentinelField solves

Significant Problems Solved:

  • Eliminates blind spots in remote farmland by enabling 24/7 automated monitoring.
  • Detects animal/human intrusions before damage occurs.
  • Automates alerts via SMS, phone call, high-frequency sound to reduce response time.
  • Converts captured frames into temperature-based maps for better detection in low-light/vegetation conditions.
  • Uses PIR-triggered wake-up to drastically reduce power consumption in remote areas.
  • Provides a low-cost alternative to expensive commercial CCTV + thermal systems.
  • Integrates sensing, vision, ML, alerts, deterrence and fence control into one unified system.
  • Minimizes false alarms by validating PIR triggers with ML image classification.
  • Reduces human–wildlife conflict by detecting and deterring animals early.
  • Displays real-time fence activity/status on LEDs and LCD, reducing blind maintenance issues.
  • Provides both the farmer and the admin with relevant dashbaords for keeping a track of the the collected/detected data.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Received a faulty LoRa module, causing communication failures and forcing a complete reassessment of the original long-range design.
  2. Had to shift from LoRa to ESP32–ESP32 communication, requiring restructuring of the data transfer workflow and rewriting major parts of the communication logic.
  3. TCP socket and MAC-level communication attempts failed due to handshake issues, packet drops and inconsistent peer discovery between devices.
  4. Stabilized communication using Wi-Fi + Flask, which provided a reliable transport layer and resolved all previous connectivity challenges.
  5. Faced difficulties in thermal conversion simulation, including inaccurate intensity values and the need to fine-tune parameters for realistic cooling behavior.
