A dog with a back up is a good system. If someone were to mess with one dog, the other one would probably take him out. I think dogs and signs that warn about dogs are one of the best systems, but you do have to worry about insurance rates if they are certain breeds.

July 19, 2009 at 10:00 PM #433970Allan from FallbrookParticipant[quote=DaCounselor]I use ADT but I have to add that it was 2nd to last in line on my checklist of home security. Motion sensor lights, heavy-duty deadbolts, window locks and window film all came first. And a new solid bedroom door and lock. Then ADT, then the 20 gauge. It does not take alot of money or effort to massively upgrade your home’s safety factor, so I figured why not? Also have a fire-rated safe. I’m not a survivalist kind of guy either, just common sense stuff that I used to never think about but over the years just figured if it doesn’t cost much why not go for the extra protection just in case.[/quote]
I’m curious about the window film. What did you film your windows to protect against?
Also, why 20 gauge? Versus something more robust and a better stopper (like 12 gauge)?
Just curious as to your thinking on both counts.

July 20, 2009 at 8:11 AM #434058freshmanParticipantThanks for the suggestions. I have allergy to animal fur so I couldn’t have dog. The security alarm system may be the primary thing I can do. The window decal and yard sign from ebay is pretty cool idea. I check the ADT , ProtectionOne and Brick websites. Their service plans are about $300-$500 but it doesn’t cover all windows and doors, only 2 door/windows contacts, one panel and a motion detector… how helpful of these services with only 2 contacts? Anyone asked them to install the services for all windows and doors ?
