HI, I already sleep with a video camera and window scrapper near my bed to WACK the Hell out of an intruder, but what are some other good security methods that can be effective?

Perception of security is probably the best. You can put up security signs in your yard. You don’t even have to have that security company. Here are a few tips I put together:

I think the dog is one of the best routes but the signs in the yard can work well too. Good lighting outside can help too. Cut down any bushes in front of your windows as those can hide people who are trying to break in. You can put up fake security cameras outside as well. The thieves don’t know the difference. You can buy them on ebay. Driveway motion alarms are good as well. I have some reviews of ones sold on Amazon on my site. They let you know if someone is outside your home. Best of luck,
You can get a security alarm and a dog.
Why? u don’t need to worry just buy a gun and if ..if someone break in just call the cop
step 1: watch home alone.
step 2: take notes.
i’m joking. some tips i guess are:
1. make sure you buy top of the line stuff like good locks.
2. if you don’t have a security door get one.
3. since windows can be easily broken consider a combination of gates and a dog to keep a burglar at bay.
4. Make sure doors inside your house are lockable one way and to your advantage.
5. Get a sliding chain lock on your main door. Just make sure you don’t accidentally lock yourself out or your roomate.
The thing that stopped break-ins at my place was the purchase of a puppy that would eventually become an enormous, scary looking guard dog. I bought a hunting dog off of a local breeder. Where I live, pig hunting is popular so people breed dogs specifically for the purpose. Mine is a pitbull/sharpei/mastiff/ridgeback/staffy mix, has the sweetest nature on the planet and would be more likely to lick you to death, but she’s a good guard dog and her bark keeps intruders away.
