Intrusion alert system for rugged environments iot, sensors

We are developing an IoT based intrusion alert system for the agricultural field.
The plan is to have vibration sensors installed over the fence on the periphery of agricultural land
Capabilities of system
- Detect any vibration over the fence
- Detect Wire cut over the fence
- Adjustable/controllable vibration sensitivity
- Rugged as it will be installed in open field
- Filter vibrations due to weather conditions such as wind, rain, etc.
- Differentiate between human and vibration activity (Nice to have)
- Power supply to the sensor: Solar or battery
- Send Email/SMS alerts for any intrusion.
- Packaging
- Data from the IoT device will be sent through the GSM module installed in it. We are considering Particle Electron for this. Don't know if it works with 3rd party SIM.
- IoT device must send location.

What I have tried:

We have developed a prototype with below components
- IoT device: Particle Photon
- Vibration Sensor: SW-420 (Seems to be suitable for prototyping only)
- EMail alert: Device -> Particle Cloud -> Microsoft Azure IoT Hub -> Azure Logic App -> Twilio Email Connector
- SMS alert: Device -> Particle Cloud -> Microsoft Azure IoT Hub -> Azure Logic App -> Plivo SMS Connector

SW-420 is connected to digital pin of IoT device.
When a SW-420 sensor is touched, it generates digital value of 1 which is then published/pushed to Particle cloud, thereby sending an email/sms.

This works at a prototype level.

We are looking for below information
- Vibration sensor covering capabilities mentioned above
- IoT device for the above scenario.
- PCB design
- Packaging
- Is there a way we can directly send data to Azure from IoT device rather than using Manufacturer cloud such as Particle Cloud.
- Looking for a system with low maintenance.

Please share your views on any of the items mentioned above as it will help us develop the system.

So ... you want us to design your new hardware, packaging; do the parts selection; find IoT devices for you; and probably write the software to tie it all together.

All for free, and in a tiny text box.

Not going to happen. We aren't here to produce your product so you can sell it and reap the rewards of our labours, skill and experience. If you want that, you will have to pay. I suggest you go to Freelancer.com and ask there.

But be aware: you get what you pay for. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Thanks @OriginalGriff for the feedback. Basically, we are looking for appropriate hardware for the requirement mentioned. It would be great if someone could suggest best IoT device and vibration sensor. Other things we'll take care.

I upvoted this but it still only gets 3. Who have you upset?

In addition to OriginalGriff's comments, I suggest you read Code Project Quick Answers FAQ[^]. The Quick Answers forum is for quick answers to specific technical problems, not consultation and design services.
