Indoor/Outdoor driveway or pathway (break-beam) sensor

I have a small driveway and have an issue with people coming and checking my truck door at night. I have motion sensor lights and cameras but with the delay in person detection they are gone before I can come out.

Just wondering if it is possible to create a driveway alarm like the picture where it is 2 sensors placed between 2 posts that shoot a “laser” that when someone breaks the continuity it will set off an alarm. With my situation I’m having a hard time finding something that works. Most are a wide motion detection (like a light) but I don’t want to detect the sidewalk or even road. The one in the picture has to be wired to an interior alarm system. I would like it so the device itself sounds an alarm so the person knows they tripped it.

Would be nice for it to be Wyze and able to link to the app where you could get a notification that someone tripped the sensor and also be able to set a timer for this to work so it only is set at night so the mail man doesn’t set it off during the day. With Wi-Fi range extenders I don’t think it would be an issue with Wi-Fi. Would have to be wireless for the majority of applications so it would need to be able to be charged. Since you would have to remove it and not permanently mounted i have seen some of the devices have a security tamper alarm as well so if someone tries to steal it an alarm will go off.

Hopefully this is something that could be developed and I’m sure could be a great product for more than just me.
