I'm also looking for something I once saw that the army was using in Vietnam and have seen advertised elsewhere. Seismic alarm systems. Battery operated, limited area and linked. Bury sensors and those sensors are linked to a central receiving unit. If somebody walks over or near a sensor an alarm (silent or not) will sound or show at the receiver and detail area where triggered. Ever hear of that?
I like the shotgun alarm. I have seen similar rigs that are hooked to a tear gas canister. I think you can get some of this stuff from SHOMER-TEC Along with some other neat devices and chemicals.
