Out of those options I think Big Brother probably comes closest and 
it was on the checklist to see if it is useable.

I should probably have been more specific. What we are looking for is 
an automated checking system that can send a text message if a 
problem is found.
It doesn't have to be all in one as I believe we currently have an 
email-sms gateway available to us.
