Here is a really nice predator alert system that not only wakes you up but scares off the predator at the same time. It is a simple device / booby trap, that is trip wire activated and fires off either a 12 gauge shotgun shell BLANK or an optional 12 gauge shotgun shell loaded with a non lethal PEPPER BLAST, both of which aim toward the ground as not to cause actual harm to chickens, livestock, or the predator. 
You just mount it on a fence post, or wall, tree, whatever, and run your trip wire thru eye hooks wherever you want it to go, even 100 feet away if that is where you want it to trip the device from, or rig it so the predator trips the wire when close to the coop, rig the unit to blast when right up close, 10, 20, 30, 50ft away, however you want to rig it. Best to place the charge away from the coop, don't want to give the chickens a heart attack.
Nice thing about these is you can re-rig it anytime, so the predator keeps setting it off even if it changes it's approach strategy, like Raccoons & Foxes do, though most never return after getting blasted by this little gem of a booby trap, works on human prowlers too, it REALLY scares the living daylights out of anything that trips it, man or beast, a totally unexpected surprise letting everyone within a 1/2 mile know something is up.
This even works on bears, so much fun to watch them run, while the garden & chickens go unscathed.
