A Home Security Question (sensible) opinions wanted.

Connect up an MP3 player with an aggressive dog growl recorded on it connected to a motion sensor outside... my uncle allowed his farm dogs [rejects from Police Dog training- usually alsatians] inside when he was out- you wouldn't think about breaking in past them when they started.

Does it not activate when cats, dogs or foxes go past??

It would, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Just so long as it activates when ne'er do wells go past then I'm happy.

Put a kennel in the garden.











Oh, and put one of these in the kennel!

Why? Do dogs with one testicle make good guard dogs?

It is BUT....I have a problem with the electrics to those lights. That will be rectified shortly.

You can get security lights that have alarm both outside and inside the house that alert you too.
Is the door up and over sort? If so you can fit a bollard the drop down sort. Anti burglar paint maybe an option. Or even just the warning notice may help

I have an alarm and also a large secure front gate they need to get through first before they get to the garage door.

Go live somewhere with a low crime rate which I admit is probably not what you want to hear.

Or in fact really possible or even if it is a guarantee of security.

 

[oldwheels]

I assumed that the not possible option was covered in the “ not what you want to hear”.

It's not an ironclad guarantee, but its still a safe bet - every second house has a shotgun in these parts, and the odds of a warm welcome does seem to keep Johnny Lightfingers and his chums at bay.

Guardcam camera/light/dog.

Mains powered(battery backup for the camera) PIR activated light, with camera recording onto an SD card, with a recording of a "barking dog" or recorded message.

A "We don't call 999 - we call 9mm" sign is a good deterrent, I always say.

Especially as his wife is the fekin burglar

Ahh yes Eutopia if only

Tony Martin preferred to do without the warning sign.

Lighting is a good deterrent. Just make sure that it doesn't point in directions that will annoy your neighbours.
