Scare Away 2.0

This application serves as an effective deterrent against pest birds, such as crows, ravens, gulls, and pigeons, by utilizing a camera recognition feature that triggers an alarm sound to scare them away. This tool may be particularly beneficial for outdoor activities, such as trips to the beach.

For instances specifically involving crows and ravens, users have the option to activate an alarm call designed exclusively for these species. By toggling off the "All Other Birds" setting, the app will emit a sound that targets only crows and ravens, thereby safeguarding nesting birds in residential areas.

In contrast, when dealing with other pest birds, the app will broadcast the sound of a screaming eagle, effectively driving away various avian species. This feature could prove useful in protecting personal items, such as food, from seagulls while enjoying a day at the beach.

After adjusting the settings, it is advisable to utilize the TEST button to simulate a trigger event, which allows users to verify that the app functions as intended. This is particularly important if the user selects the "Take Video" option during a trigger. The TEST button also enables necessary permissions for video recording and saving to the camera roll. Due to iOS system constraints, users must grant screen recording permissions each time the app is launched anew.

While an alarm is in progress, users can simply press the STOP button to terminate the current alarm sequence.

Additionally, the app boasts a recognition accuracy of approximately 90% for distinguishing between crows and ravens. However, it is essential to note that this application is not explicitly designed for comprehensive bird identification purposes.
