Prototipo IoT de geolocalización y monitoreo mediante tecnología lora, para la prevención del abigeato en el cantón El Tambo.

Abstract

The objective of this graduate research was to implement an loT Prototype using LoRa Technology to prevent cattle theft, which allows for the real-time geolocation and monitoring of livestock through a mobile application. The development of this prototype aimed to protect the integrity of the livestock in the event of theft, one of the most common crimes that continues to be prevalent to the present date. It has two modules developed on the Arduino platform, and communication between these modules is achieved through radio frequency using the LoRa Transceiver Module SX1278 Ra-02 433 MHz with a maximum range of 5 km under line-of-sight transmission and reception. The first module, called the collector node, has an Arduino nano responsible for managing the reception and transmission components of the prototype. To obtain the data, an LC86L GPS module was used; these data are sent in an organized manner to the second node called Gateway; the received information is stored in a cloud-based database and can be later visualized through an APK developed to be used on a mobile device Notifications are sent via text message when the livestock is detected outside the monitoring zone. From the conducted tests, it was confirmed that the prototype has a minimum monitoring error, which is negligible in each of its constituent nodes. It is concluded that the prototype allows real-time geolocation and monitoring of livestock using Lora technology. It is recommended to have a permanent internet service with reasonable coverage so that the alert message reaches the livestock owner in a timely manner.
