Hey guys,
I have a storage box on an allotment that did hold 120amps of 12v batteries powered by a solar panel. Thieving watsits keep stealing the batteries. The police are dusting for prints as they botched it first time but i want to show them some faces!!! (idiots keep coming back and ransacking thinking the batteries will come back!)
I have a mobile phone that will detect movement and upload photos to the web via 3g powered by said batteries but i need to give them a reason to look at the camera. I have a 9 volt battery powered shed alarm that will go off when they open the door and i plan to have the unit next to the camera. It has a pre alarm buzzer that goes off in the unit but i don't know whether it uses 9v or is stepped down.
I need help, i need to find a way to have a switch detect the buzzer is sounding and fire up an led lamp to shine on the thieves powered by the solar array. This should both attract their attention and give the camera something to see if it is dark. Can anyone here advise how i can do this? I am not an electronics whizz just a ****ed off middle aged IT geek lol.
Cheers
Graham
