AgroSyncX: A Modular IoT Architecture for Real-Time Agricultural Monitoring and Security with Performance Assessment

Modern agriculture faces growing challenges including unpredictable climate, resource scarcity, and increasing security threats. To address these issues, this paper presents AgroSyncX, a unified system that integrates real-time environmental sensing and farm surveillance using an IoT-based architecture. AgroSyncX leverages ESP32 microcontrollers, soil moisture and temperature sensors, and an IP camera for continuous monitoring. Sensor data is transmitted using MQTT and visualized through a web-based dashboard developed in Next.js. The system provides farmers with actionable insights through real-time graphs, alerts, and live video feeds. This paper provides a performance evaluation of AgroSyncX under varied conditions and demonstrates its effectiveness in improving decision-making, enhancing crop care, and reducing security risks.
