Curious in general as to what you folks do for home security. (Looking at suggestions for preventative measures to make your home less enticing to potential break-ins. Not so much something like the inevitable gun suggestion, which would be more for protection after someone is already attempting to break in.)
Specifically, I'm also curious as to whether anyone has any recommendations on brands of motion detector lighting to use and/or avoid. I'm intrigued by the solar motion detector lighting, but many of the brands seem to get poor reviews.
I live in a neighborhood of above-average safety, and my dog also barks loudly the second anyone gets near our sidewalk. May or may not be a break-in deterrent, but at least I'll be awake and able to react if something were to happen!
Despite that, I still want to see if we're taking all the reasonable precautions. My area might be safe, but no area is immune. (As evidenced by recent news, such as the home invasions recently in Sylvania while the owners slept. Yikes...not too far from me.
