Home security alarm

I’ll throw this out since I haven’t heard anyone say it yet. Get a good camera system that constantly records to a dvr, then after you have proof of who was there, then get the shotgun and go hunting! Just kidding about the hunting part, but I think what bugs most people the most is fear and not knowing who did it,whether you show the cops the video is entirely up to you. By the way I also have 2 dogs!Just in case 1 of them is sleeping on the job! oh yeah and 1 teufel hunden!

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.

[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.

Thanks 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 ?
