Hi all. Thinking of proposing a college project to monitor farm animal behavior. What type of device would somebody use to monitor velocity increase of the animal and potentially be able to provide feedback to other devices. Im no electrical engineer. Thanks people.

Handheld speed camera ("hairdryer")? Not sure about the integration aspect though.

Is this a project you're going to do or just as a business proposal for a module?
