Deer Dissuader

Deer Dissuader

Deer Dissuader is a deer detection and deterrence system. It uses a Raspberry-Pi 3B+ running OpenCV to detect a deer in the camera’s vicinity. When detected, it will sound a preprogrammed noise (humans talking) to scare off the deer. Practical uses include at-home gardens, road-sides, and backyards.

About

Open Source Hardware specializes in building low-cost alternatives to expensive hardware/software, and then sharing the designs with the commons so that collaborative improvements can be made rapidly. Anyone can make changes or updates to the designs the Enterprise team creates—through this process, designs are improved at a much higher rate than would be possible within the Enterprise alone. Open source is all about collaboration.
