What if somebody WALKS in?
We have been using a Dakota Alert IR unit for the last 15 years to
signal us by rf from 600 feet away. We added a box from them that
gives us a 20 amp set of relay contacts with an on-timer. I bought one
of those half-million candlepower 12 volt hand lanterns, got an 8 amp
transformer from Surplus center and hooked it all up. I don't have a
hill in the way, so the recieving equipment is in a spare bedroom. If
I go down to get the mail after dark, I can read it at the mail box.
The light, aimed at the very end of the driveway where the mailbox sits,
almost blinds you at night.

Walking in is less of a problem and when they do there is no way I can
monitor thousands of feet of line fence. OTOH if they park outside my
gate I want to know about it wether or not they walk in. I live on a
dead end road, the nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away.

Actually, it's relatively easy to monitor the fence line if you do it
appropriately.
