Conceptual Design and Prototyping of an IoT-Based Camel Tracking and Perimeter Monitoring System

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to provide conceptual design elements for tracking and monitoring animals, specifically camels, for the purpose of complete prototyping, considering ensuring precise location tracking and enhancing security. The primary innovative monitoring approaches in our system implementation are the utilization of GSM and GPS technologies. The laser sensor, which is integrated with farm gates, is a critical component of the system that ensures the protection of camels and real-time surveillance through a mobile platform. The Internet of Things (IoT) successfully receive the information concerning physical environments of the camels via an integrated security gate alarm sensor, then transmit it to a cloud network using a GSM network. The purpose of the security system allocation is to implement real-time monitoring and access control measures. Various components have been utilized in the design consideration process throughout the deployment of the system. The robust components of this technology (geographical location using Arduino and SIM800L GSM and Global Positioning System (GPS) modules, aside from geographical capabilities) have been specifically chosen for the purpose of efficiently and effectively tracking animals in diverse environments. The tracking devices will be made to be worn for a long period of time because of these devices which also provide accurate and updated position data. The proposed prototyping has several features to provide a unique, reliable performance over long-life usage in terms of user-friendliness and sustainability through economic and cost considerations. In short, the system that was installed in place gives a latitude and longitude that is closely with the real location in Google Maps. The latest IOT technologies have enabled the camels' real-time monitoring and safety management.
