Using a combination of AIR “Active Infrared” and PIR “Passive Infrared” sensors, this product detects intrusion of any animal entering the farm and then it uses the electrical signal to trigger an alarm that repels the detected animal away. The alarm uses a combination of light and sound. Device is solar powered, hence does not need any power supply to charge its battery.

Human Wildlife Conflicts have caused a stream of major changes in the agricultural patterns and practices nationwide. To protect their crops from getting damaged because of animal intrusions, farmers have been using electric fences around their fields and areas where the fencing don’t prove efficient, farmers prefer to stay up all night and guard their fields from animal intrusions. Practices like these have done more harm than good for us and in extreme cases, it has even costed lives of both man and animals.
Considering the inefficiencies and shortcoming of these existing practices, an enthusiastic team decided to come up with a solution that protected the crops from animal intrusions without causing any harm to the wildlife. This lead to the invention of ANIDERS (Animal Intrusion Detection and Repellent System), that works like a mechanized Scarecrow planted on the boundaries of the fields . The device detects the animals that have intruded the field and scares them away before they can cause harm to the crops.
ANIDERS uses a combination of Active and Passive Infrared sensors to detect the animal movements and then uses lights and a sound alarm system to repel them. Being solar powered, it does not need any power supply, it charges itself during the day and runs during the night time. The first unit was installed in a small village named Kyari, situated in the buffer zone of Jim Corbett National Park. After being rigorously tested for about a year, statistics collected with the help of WWF India, were quite astonishing. The device could repel the animals 90% of the times they intruded the fields which in turn resulted in 60% increase in the yield of that field. The highlight of the experiment was that all these results were achieved without causing any harm to the wildlife in and around the farms.
Since animals tend to get accustomed to the recurring sounds and lights in their surroundings, ordinary alarming systems will work in the beginning but its effectiveness will decrease sharply with time. To overcome this shortcoming, ANIDERS was programmed to use different permutations and combinations of light and sound patterns that changes every time an intrusion was detected.
