extend your car alarm to your mobile, boat, beach hut .
the alarm uses the phone battery. the phone remains turned off. It turns the phone on, texts a list of numbers and turns the phone off again. great kit. I put one on my sheds and beach hut.

This kit cost £30 + a £20 mobile and project box
you need to charge the phone every 3-6 months and use or topup the prepaid sim at least every 6 months.

Obviously not everyone likes soldering I could supply them made up for £60.

demo of the bare kit here

finally processed by youtube!

I don't think my car alarm wants to be diverted to my mobile phone.

Mine - car now cold -so no problems with temperature .
Toby makes his presence known - it's his space and being a little Cairn will defend it - he's bred to attack in small spaces -and being loyal will do so . Know that a Rotweiller will deter -but a Ratweiler will do a lot of damage ,especially in the hand area .So even as much of a deterrent .
Sorry mate ,on the electronics front -if it's too hot for tobias (Mc fartalot)- I'll design and fit my own .Comms/electronics eng .(possibly same route as you -ex BT TO-electronics/comms,HND /HNC ).

So you are in your boat, ten miles out to sea, enjoying the fishing when your mobile tells you that your car alarm has gone off. What good is that except to spoil your fishing?

You have friends or even ... ring the plod?
Many people park thier cars in a side street out of view of thier home. some of us have workshops, sheds, beach huts. places with no power where an alarm on the door or a pressure pad would be a great help.

Another use is as a flood warning to a cellar or brook. just add a float switch. You could even put a float switch in the deisel tank of a genny to tell you it need topping up.

Her indoors wants a light activated switch in the fridge ! ....to guard the cheese :D

They also have farm applications, with a waterproof box they can be added to any gate. I have seen farm alarms starting at £200.
