Standalone detector with sms funcion

Hi all

I'm looking for a temporary quick fix for a burglary situation I'm in. (Early warning system)
I'm responsible for a home currently unoccupied, and yet again there signs of a thief removing bolts from a burglar bar in preparation to break in, perhaps tonight. (It's happened before - the area is plagued with drug addicts who steal)

I'm looking for some unobtrusive device I can affix to an eave which will alert me by sending an sms if anyone comes near this window/burglar bar or down the alley past it. An early warning system so to speak.

Right now I've run out of ideas. I've heard of exotic military "listening post" devices and sometime ago I've seen this radar thingy (RadarDog?) you put inside behind a wall, which alerts you to a presence in an outside zone.

Ideally something about the size of a gas detector which one just nails to the eaves above your monitoring zone - does such a product exist?

What about a trail camera? You get ones that sms/emails you with pics. Not sure about reaction times between detection and sending/receiving messages.

Roboguards / Askaris are a great, easy to install portable option. They don't send a sms but it triggers an audible beep on the control pad.

Will look into these, thanks

Yebo sells a box that sends an SMS. You'd have to wire it to an IR burglar alarm type eye though. And it needs a battery or power supply. So not as self-contained as you might want.

#wrm, could you perhaps let us have a website for the "Yebo box"

Thanks

I saw on Facebook recently, someone is selling locally, a small box probably slightly bigger than a match box.
Its a listening device that operates using a standard sim card. Its auto activated as soon as noise is detected, and sends an sms or makes a call out to you, so you can hear the goings on.
Doesn't need a power supply, as it has its own rechargeable battery that is charged via USB.
And I think it was less than R600
