Do you have a "security system"- cameras, etc.?

I have Ring. I also have a lazy dog. So when Ring notifies my phone that someone is at the door. The dog will bark. When i get a notification that i have email, my dog will bark thinking someone is at the door even if she doesn't see anyone.

I have cameras. The main benefit is the day they were put up the meth heads across the road ceased banging on my house in the middle of the night.

Alarms on all windows and doors. Also monitors for flooding and temperature dropping too low (i.e. furnace is out). Added cameras too when we upgraded. It lowers the cost of our home insurance too.

Yes I have a monitored security system with window contacts, glass breaks, smoke detectors, etc.
I have a big solid brick house. You cant hear anything outside.
Back in the day the husband worked nights a lot.
So we have had it for a while. Im alone now so it lets me sleep in peace.

I also have a loud outdoor siren. If youre close the noise makes your teeth hurt.
If you mess with my house the whole neighborhood will know about it.
I dont want my system to notify the police after theyve already broken in.
I want the noise to make them reconsider it in the first place.
Also lets them know my systems not fake. The yard signs are real.

Same for me. Cameras inside and out, monitored alarm system that we set every evening and anytime we leave the house - even if it's just for a 20 minute walk around the block. Side gates are always padlocked.

Loud interior and exterior sirens for our hardwired alarm system that's unaffected by wifi blockers or outages. Or even power outages for some 6+ hours because of battery backup.

Almost nothing in my house would appeal to most burglars. Virtually no cash, designer purses or expensive jewelry - good jewelry is kept in a bank safety deposit box. We use inexpensive computers and cellphones, and have no valuable collectibles, gaming consoles, cameras, opioid medications, etc.

We live in a mobile home park. Between the kids that have no respect and the crack heads I keep an eye on things outside. I have 5 cameras set up. I do have issues with wifi connectivity so some cameras I cannot see at times, but they still record. I usually run a full screen camera and it rotates cameras every 30 seconds.
