Abstract

In recent years, wild animals have been increasingly spotted in residential areas, posing risks to both humans and animals. The presence of these animals can cause accidents, damage to property, or even harm to the animals themselves. Therefore, it is important to have an effective method to detect wild animals in residential areas and ensure safety for everyone involved. This research focuses on creating a smart detection system that can identify wild animals in urban settings using sensors and advanced technology. The system uses a combination of cameras, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and track animals. When an animal enters a residential area, the sensors send a signal to a central monitoring system, which processes the data to identify the species and the location of the animal. The smart detection system can be integrated with existing security systems to provide real- time alerts to residents, allowing them to take precautionary actions. For example, the system can send notifications to homeowners’ smartphones, informing them of the animal’s presence and suggesting steps to keep safe, such as staying indoors or calling animal control. The use of AI ensures accurate identification of animals, even in difficult weather or lighting conditions. Additionally, this system can learn over time, improving its ability to detect animals in different environments. Overall, the smart detection system aims to reduce human-animal conflicts in residential areas by providing timely and reliable information. This approach not only helps protect residents but also contributes to the safe relocation of animals to their natural habitats.
