I use several units from Eagle Telonics (http://www.telonics.com/)for remote
monitoring. They can be set to broadcast on practically any frequency, can
be triggered by magnetic (a vehicle), ground sensing (footsteps), and visual
(breaking an infrared), and can be adjusted for sensitivity and footsteps
(two footed, four footed). Any signal event can trigger a camera. The
units can be buried and are practically invisible when properly set up, and
will deploy for 60-90 days on their batteries. Problem is, when the bad
guys or just a nosey parker finds the camera or the sensor wires, the unit
is gone. We are currently purchasing a different setup which has a remotely
triggered camera and intrusion detection, but the unit itself is entirely
remote - sending the signal and the photos (infrared or flash) back to
another unit located up to a 1/4 mile away where they can be recorded on a
DVR, sent by repeater to another remote, or relayed to a server which will
deliver to a desktop computer. Check http://www.supercircuits.com/ for this
and other really great security equipment. Especially like those cameras
built into a phillips screw head...
