Good video. I am in the alarm industry so a few thoughts:
. There are some quite interesting satellite sms chipsets out there now.
. Does your radar false alarm for rats? Generally PIR sensors use specifically designed fresnel-like lenses and the patterns they produce to passively filter non humans.
. The biggest problem with diy alarm systems is long term maintenance. Your previous one dying is a perfect example. Did anyone know it had failed? Did you just find out when someone tried to steal something?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the market seems to be sorely missing a solution for low cost, low bandwidth data communication over modern cell networks. For example the SIM800L is a fantastic low cost easy to use SIM module that works on 2G, but with 2G being phased out, what fills the gap? The board in this project is ridiculously big, other LTE boards seem to be prohibitively expensive - what's the barrier to making something like a SIM800L for 4 or 5G?

Well an awesome project, but there is one point thats really disturbing and thats the on / off switch on the side of the case. What if, in theory, a thief would make it into that garage without triggering the alarm, switches the whole system off and get the whole stuff out of there. As you are using an Arduino tho i think the best way to deactivate the system is a numpad with a special code or a fingerprintsensor or an RFID Card.

I don't like how all these modern solutions depends on tons of third party services. I understand, that cellular network is hard to avoid, but then here is third party cloud and third party MTQQ broker, too. Too many moving parts which is not controlled by user at all.
Same with cheap and/or smart CCTV cameras they stream through some (chinese) clouds, which could be shut down, blocked or out of business at any moment

I was experimenting and configuring one of those radar modules for a project I was working on, and found that they pretty quickly give me a headache if I sit beside it for any significant amount of time. Has happened on several occasions. Anyone else notice that or am I just weird?
Wouldn't matter for an alarm, but using it anywhere that people are expected to be for a long time may not be the best approach I figure.

I'm an experienced python developer but I am not very good with electrical engineering and hardware, yet!
How hard would it be to modify this setup to be a sentry camera? Could I use this to set up a remote camera with motion sensing at the bottom of a long driveway and still have it utilized the 4G to alert that there's motion and make the video downloadable somehow?

Here is a question for you: How do you disarm the alarm when you want to get into your garage? Don't tell me you simply let it run, letting everyone know you entered, then you reach to the alarm and manually press the disarm button? This does not make any sense. I think you should be able to arm and disarm this remotely using same MQTT broker, from your mobile phone

i would remove the switchs on the side, add a pin pad, a battery, paint the box a color that matches the wall, make the sensor the brain and the sciren wireless, so i can hide the the central, and a heart beat to monitor if everything is okay every seconds otherwise notify aswell
but good video: ) any plans for the green house?

Just a couple of small corrections:
1. The 2G/3G/4G coverage map is incorrect as some countries like Norway have shut down 3G completely (2G still exists as a fallback)
2. The program you showed is Visual Studio Code, which is significantly different from Visual Studio, the latter being much older

Just want to say that your videos, on top of being great (like you. I can tell by the name, also make me happy when I'm sad by your amazing projects and energetic tone trought each and every video.
Keep up the good work, it's very inspiring, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that!

Couple of unknown aspects/suggestions: how do you disarm it? Flipping a switch like you show is way too vulnerable for an alarm system (suggestion 1: at the very least, it should have a keypad to punch in a code. Suggestion 2: remote arming/disarming via the phone. Cheers

There are still so many regions in Germany that does not even have 2G coverage. So not in 30 years is Germany going to shut it down. Important notice is that please no one looks into the lying signal coverage maps provided by the major three telecommunication providers.

Fantastic work, dude! Nicely done!
But it would be really interesting if they made this technology available without the need for the whole board. After all, you still used an Arduino. And it should make it much cheaper.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family!

Interesting, thanks for the demo. I shall probably be giving this a go in the near future as I need to hire a garage a little bit away from my apartment. Got so many tools and not enough space in the van or my apartment and the shed is too small as well.
