Recently received an email from LocksOnline (from whom I've bought
mechanical bits and pieces in the past) attempting to sell me a
security system. Details he

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!

5.5V - I could bodgerise a mobile car charging lead I guess.

A 6volt 12ah dryfit would last weeks, then recharge overnight
on a car battery charger
