 I would be interested in hearing the details on your shed conversion, as this is very interesting to me.
As far as security -
1. Do not tell anyone local about it and what is inside
2. Using a laptop will allow you to take this indoors when not using
3.use motion sensor flood lights around shed
4. A simple alarm with door contact(s) and if a window in shed both a contact
    and window break sensor attached to a siren that one can not cut the wiring
    on. using a small touch pad or key pad for on/off, x-10 systems have cheap
   wireless alarms that will work
5. Keep shed a neutral color like forest green, so it vanishes into the landscape
    and will not attract attention.,
6. As mentioned not only is a laptop easy to carry in and out as needed but also
    video cameras as well, other things like lighting, tripods, TV ,etc.. can stay out
    But the most valuable can all fit into a simple duffel bag.
7. If shed door uses a standard key lock, reinforce the door frame with 2x4's
    and use a deadbolt lock with a long throw say 1 1/2 inches +
8. Wireless security cameras are very cheap today and places like walmart sells
    them for $60.-$75. USD range, one of these overlooking the shed will discourage
    all but the most insane
