Abstract
Human-wildlife conflict has become a major challenge near agricultural and forest border areas. This project proposes a Virtual Fencing Wild Animal Intrusion Detection System using camera-based monitoring and intelligent detection techniques. The system detects animal movement using a surveillance camera and image processing methods. When an animal crosses the virtual boundary, the system sends an alert and activates deterrent methods such as buzzer or light to prevent intrusion. This non-physical fencing method reduces crop damage, improves safety, and provides an eco-friendly solution for wildlife management. The proposed system is cost-effective, reliable, and suitable for rural and forest-edge regions.
