All 3 sons have alarms of varying costs.
Son #2=
Most expensive - Cameras & lights all around outside, all external doors alarmed, internally cameras covering all open plan area. Put in when house was being built 2 years back. Linked to call centre & repair contract - pricey!
Son #2=
External lights all around. Door alarms. All branded wireless cameras, garden, open plan, garden room, up-linked to cloud.
Son#1 - broken into 11 years ago 4pm ish by druggie - damaged windows getting, in took camera, laptop, i-pod IIRC.
External lights all around. Yale self install kit alarm £400 IIRC probably a lot cheaper now (installed after burglary) Recent additions Amazon Blink cameras (modest cost) phone linked + up-linked to cloud - modest cost.
Me? Broken into 3 x early 90s - same person - now aged 48 he is still at it & appears in court regularly - now moved approx. 3 miles away - breaking into homes within 1 mile of where he lives (druggie)
Nothing other than good locks and a neighbour who scans the street - he is nearly 80 so I might invest in a camera or 2 some time soon.
