JOH-KGN001-20070704-LV-P1 DOG WATCH SENSORS Prototype-fabricated dog that that is aligned with sensors to detect motion when triggered. When the sensors go off, signals are sent to the control room for human response The fabricated dog is able to move from a laying position to a sitting position, and produces mechanical motions and sounds which frightens and scares away the monkeys

HOW IT WORKS Dog Sound Scare Motion Movement Control sensors unit JOH-KGN001-20070704-LV-P1 HOW IT WORKS Dog Movement, from lying position to sitting position Sound Scare Monkey Distress Call Dog Barking Alarm Sent to Control Room Sent to Security Guards Movement Motion sensors Control unit
