I had a shock sensor that worked really well in this respect. It was years ago so it may be unavailable. This sensor was sold by Universal Products, and looked like a long rectangular tube (with rounded edges). It had an adjustment that I used to make it very sensitive. I did not have any problems with hills as I mounted it perpendicular to the axis of the car (of course you would have problems if the road had a steep sideways grade). BTW, these shock sensors have one big detriment. After the neighborhood kids discovered it, they were constantly setting it off for fun. Gary
