If you have a bench grinder, every nutdriver has a thin wall nutdriver inside it.
Use a hex bit in an electric screwdriver to spin the workpiece, it's steadier than
simply handheld grinding.

We ended up buying a very pretty one from Amazon. I love tools.

You can get a Hikvision LPR camera:

And then have it record footage to a local BlueIris server:

Another option, although above a hundred bucks, is a POE camera.

I wonder if an old Android phone with a motion detector app can work?

My camera has an option for uploading to the cloud, but that is optional.
 
I have a 256 GB microSD card in it, and I can access the camera using my
local intranet. It was $110, which is outside the OP's target price, but I
wanted the 12 megapixels to see license plate numbers (day and night).
 
Given they're made for cars, the OP might consider a cheap $50 dashcam.

Another option is to connect a Tesla coil to the vehicle that only
activates when you park it out of the way. Non-lethal, non-damaging, but
surprising and unpleasant. Along with the flashlamps and sirens.
 
Even better is to rig a can of spray paint and some mace. :)

The light is designed to stay on if the power is interrupted momentarily. Your installation is not the problem. Either a new light or design a circuit that resets the power automatically.

Hi JoeC,
 
That is what I am looking for but to just hold off turning the power
back on quickly. A small Time Delay Relay that on power up puts
the Motion Detector unit back into it's normal operation.
 
Basically the same as I do with the power switch in the garage but
without my mental strain!!!
 
I just need some device that is small enough to fit the 4" round box.
 
Thanks for your interest in the challenge.

I have had multiple sensor lights that would do that.
 
The light is probably designed to lock on if you turn it off and on
again quickly. So making sure the power stays off long enough would
disable that feature and do what he wants. Then, you would have to
disable the fix to keep the light on for Halloween.

Hi Bob F,
 
You are most likely correct that the quick off/on is built into
the circuitry to give that ability. I had not thought of that
before. However, Mother Nature does know and just wants to punish
me for some unknown reason. :-(
 
BTW The Halloween issue is a non-issue here!!!
 
I would think a small Delay <On> Timer for 30-60 seconds would fix the
problem. It just needs to fit the box.
 
Thanks,
 
Les

"cranks up the electric bill"?!? How do LED lights do that?

LOL
 
So LED's apply a negative KWH co$t???
 
I don't think so!! :-)

Hi I was wondering if you ever found a resolution?
