Thought you might want a response from someone who actually read and understood your post.

I'm in a similar situation.
Here's what I'm doing about it.

Bought a 12v. tractor battery and a charger for it.
(100yards? you might need a solar charger, or a little red wagon for swapping batteries.)
It will run the $40 car alarm that is triggered by an rf field type mass detector.
The pretrigger, when approached, beeps a horn.
No wanna wake the neighbors, so no horn.
I feed it to a 300W. inverter instead.
The inverter drives an electric cattle fence!
The fence driver is wired to a 5' X 10' metal dog kennel that I grow in.

Yeah, I'm pissed! Lost one of my breeders.
Thinking about a DVR and 4 cameras just to see them get zapped.

If they get past that, there's an inner perimeter sensor and a shock sensor that will blast the siren.
The neighbors understand what that means. and one of 'em said he'll deliver da buggah to my door, bleeding profusely should they try to exit past him.
The rest will just call 911.
Great to be legal, ain't it?

I power mine with an extention cable that runs from the house.
If unplugged. the battery will run everything for months
(I could just buy 2 batteries and keep one on charge n swap 'em every month, but, I'm too lazy for that.)
Besides, this way, I will know immediately if it gets messed with.

I put my old computer UPS out there.
When unplugged, it beeps! And keeps producing power for about 24 hours with that small a load, (just a trickle charger).
Da beepin noise used to bodder me when we had a power outage.
Turns out, it's a feature!

Ya need details, I'll take pictures.

As for dogs?
Feh! My 90 pound, wee beastie slept through both thefts.

Neighbor suggested chaining my dog to da pen.

Bad idea!
Anyone who will steal your meds, will poison your dog.
Then, I'd HAVE to do something rash.
Anyone left standing would probably go to jail.

That about what your looking for?

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on . ROBBED, NEED SECURITY / THEFT PROTECTION IDEAS So, I was robbed the other night, pretty much lost my entire crop for the season. I can't even explain how I felt when I saw my big beautiful plants gone.... if you have tried it you know what I mean. I grow on my field, about 100 yards from my house and thought I was safe because no one ever comes by and it's a 1/2 mile trek over rocky terrain to even get here without coming up my driveway which is a dead end. SO, I need help and ideas on security. If anyone has ideas for cheap Rating: 5
