Do you use WiFi behind the UTM.
First, your neighbor has to get access to your network.
If he captures enough WIFI traffic, he may be able to get the wifi-key.
This you can't see within your IPS.
If he is already connected to your (W)LAN, he may try to connect other devices. This may be visible as a "network anomaly" ... but unfortunately this feature is not included within Sophos IPS.

...
But the device can be a little camera or a motion detector too to get some details about you .... or simple count cars // calculate car speed within your street.

The 'little home license' provides IPS. Matter of fact, there are only a couple of items it doesn't support, such as Sandstorm and BasicGuard support. Other than that, you are getting a LOT of coverage for a free license, including Network Protection.

Very odd that your neighbor would be doing this and you believe it to be a network intrusion device. You would see attempts in your Network Protection logs and most likely in the Statistics window when you open Network Protection.

Then I would make a call to police about the malicious activity if you discovered it was a device your neighbor placed on your property designed to attempt intrusion.
