The idea seems to be that when (if) it detects an intruder or a fire
in your home, it sends you and SMS message - together with photos of
whatever its camera can see - prompting you to contact the police or
fire brigade from wherever you happen to be.

I immediately thought this would be great for fitting inside my
allotment shed. But the battery life is stated as 10-12 hours so no
good. Anyone know of a setup which would last longer?


I wonder what the output of the power adapter is, and whether you could
derive that from a car battery. If so, that should last a bit longer!
