3. SOLUTION
Local farmers use dogs
Dog Watch sensors

14. JOH-KGN LV-P1
DOG WATCH SENSORS
Prototype-fabricated dog that that has sensors to detect motion in a protected area.
It produces mechanical motions and sounds which frightens and scares away the monkeys
Sound requires an audio player amplifier and audio speaker to be audible from far

15. REQUIREMENTS Sensors: Infrared and motion detectors

REQUIREMENTS
Sensors: Infrared and motion detectors
Materials: dog will be made of iron
Moving parts of the dog: Jaws, sitting position to lying position
Audio: audio player, amplifier - Recorded angry dog barking and monkey in distress sound
Power: Solar or electricity
