My cameras had motion detectors too that would email me, but there were too many false positives so I couldn't have them sent to my cell phone or it would be ringing all day. Hopefully this alarm helps.
It has a 110 db outdoor siren too, but my neighbours are about 1/4 mile away, and they don't like me.

That's pretty hardcore, I like. I live in the suburbs so I wouldn't need quite that much, but I have been thinking about getting some cams and linking them to my phone so I can tap in when I'm away.
We don't really care for our immediate next door neighbors, particularly not the ones directly across the street, but when I caught the guy outside our house after dark for the second time Wednesday I met with each of them personally to make them aware of the situation. I pretty much told him he's no longer welcome on our property and told the neighbors if they see him lurking around just to be safe and call the police.
Short of that I'm not sure what else I can do. Really my biggest worry, and it may be an unreasonable one, is that someone will break in while we're away and harm our dogs. We have two small dogs and they can be super yappy at strangers. I don't think anyone would ham them just to harm them but maybe to silence them wile in the house
