Looking for a cellular driven motion detection system...

I have a situation where I am renting self-storage space. I
literally do not have room to bring the stuff to my little apartment.
Lately my self-storage shed has been burgled twice in the last 2 months,
strange that not alot of stuff has been taken. Very odd circumstances...
I have been scouring the internet for a system and have not been
able to find it. The storage unit has no power, and no landline phone.
I am looking for a motion detector unit, battery powered, silent, and
calls a phone number if tripped via cellular. Has anyone heard of such a
unit? Where can I get one?
I have also been looking for "thief markers", but in the form of
grenade, visible light, none of this black light UV stuff, bright neon
pink, takes weeks to wear off...LMAO! Man would I love to find something
like that! Rig up a box marked "valuables"...whammo!...and the thieving
dude will be known as "Pinky" by all his friends until the law nabs
him...LMAO! Bright neon orange would work also, like a clay
pigeon...lol.
The scenario is like this, get a call from the motion detector at 3
AM, Pinky opens the unfortunate box, whammo! Now the cops are looking
for a glow in the dark pink ghost fool at 3 AM!
Any ideas are welcome.

Do you think a solar power cell would work? If so, you could power a
small alarm panel and cellular communicator with it. You'll need a deep
cycle battery with lots of capacity to maintain the system when sunlight
is in short supply.

Do you have a lightbulb in that space? That could be a source of A/C with an
adapter.
Maybe you could get with the owner of the place and find a nearby space and
put an alarm box with wireless receiver where there is power (and phone
line) and use wireless transmitters to protect your space. With a little
cooperation from the owner you could "share" the cost with others there
renting spaces and perhaps even turn a small profit.


"Profit"... Now you're talkin'! :)

Making a profit in the alarm business is absolutely forbidden, its required
that you install the system for free, pay the customer to allow you to
monitor the system and give them a new system at the end of the contract.

No profit? ..... NOW yer talkin!

I USED to make a profit but boy O boy I've learned to run a business
with out one and now I can't STAND to make one. Every time I make
anything over cost, I give it right back to the next customer. Why, I
think if I work at it, soon I'll be able to begin advertising a free
system plus $100.00 cash back, free monitoring and life time service
and a weekly contract where, if the customer cancels, I have to pay
him the balance of what he would have paid, if it hadn't been free,
and provide him with a new system, as a farewell gift. And after 40
years, of working my ass off, when I sell the business, I'll divide
the proceeds up among all my customers. I mean ..... after all, the
reason that I'm in business is for the benefit of my customers ......
Right?

that business plan for his "Brick & Mortor" DIY Better
Business Bureau rated company......Don't ya think....

Don't laugh there's a guy out here who believes making a profit on parts is
a sin...all he charges for is his labor; of course he has slaves working for
him too...himself, his wife, kids, and a cute little puppy does the clean
up.

Its people like him that give this industry a bad name,
Charging for labour?, that's just not right, of course I have heard of such
things but I never really believed the tales, always thinking it was just an
urban legend, never dreaming that there were low life's out there that
actually charged for their labour.

There are setups out there with motion detectors and digital
cameras, all battery powered. The power source would only have to power
the detector until it was tripped, then the cellular would be activated
and call you. Cell phones eat batteries, I don't turn mine on until I
place a call, then I turn it back off again.Batteries last longer this
way.
How much power does a motion detector use anyway? After watching
Mythbusters the other day a plain old bed sheet can foil a motion
detector anyway. They didn't say why it worked though...? The more I
think of it, ordering some Mr Clearout is the best bet...lol Pinky would
now be called Pouty...LMAO!
