Home security system

So as you know I recently moved into my house. I I'm trying to figure out what kind of home security system to have in my house. Mind you I do not have the money for somebody to sit here and monitor my security system like ADT or Vivint.

Now yes I could technically afford to pay for their services right now that I have to think about when I no longer and working full-time with the military because once that happens I will no longer be able to afford the luxuries in life like i am now.

So I'm looking at ways to protect my children, myself and my house....

1. Motion Detector lights in front, sides and back yard

2. Motion detector cameras that can record

3. Upgraded locks for the doors

Etc..... anything to make my house like Fort Knox because there is/are certain people I do not trust AT ALL and don't want something to happen they may have been able to be prevented.

Any help, guidance, thoughts etc are very welcome! Thank you!

 

Move to that neighborhood with @Larmand next to lady in corner or his back yard

 

Motion lights sell at Home Depot or Lowe's get 180° for sides, 360° front n rear, u can also get RING, camera doorbell,

 

1911

 

Lol, yeah come on. There's a couple for sale in the neighborhood

 

Got plenty of weapons....

 

That are definitely not in my price range lol

 

Thanks! I'll look into them. Are the lights hardwired? Because i want them to be battery backup too if so. ..

 

You never know

 

170k?

 

Yes, they are hardwired, nother thing to look at is back up generator

 

No, unfortunately not, sorry.

 

Simply safe has several items that are easy to install and no monthy monitoring. I put motion lights that talk at our lake house and they will freak anybody out. Drive way sensors are great too if you have a side drive. They are pretty cheap and work a good distance. One thing I think most people forget to protect is the garage and sense most attic entrance is via the garage....makes great sense to put motion detection on the garage door or alerts if left open. Sounds weird but try to think like a criminal pay attention to windows that are blocked by trees or architecture designs of your house that create niches or shadowed spots. I agree the ring doorbell is neat feature.
Good luck.

 

Get a attack dog.

Its not just for driveways. i cover the perimeter of our home with these. they are very reliable and you can set different tones to let you know which side of your house the Parumphians or Krasnovians are coming. from.

I went as far as painting them to match the colors of the house to help them blend in a little bit better.

 

forgot to mention that motion lights are great but they work very well for both parties, if you can see them come on and take a peek you are good, however when you are sawing wood at 0336 the likelyhood of seeing it come on is slim to none. burglars know this and dont mind seeing what they are stealing (you helped them at this point in time). i do enjoy having the motion alarms as they provide a joint effort between a light and a sound.

unfortunately a tricked out playa in a hoody is very difficult to identify from your home surveillance cameras in the middle of the night unless you have super high quality cams with good optical zoom and a great motion light to light the idiot up for you.

 

Ring Camera with flood lights, Costco May have it for $200

 

Ring - doorbell/cameras/light cameras
Nest - doorbell/cameras
Arlo - complete wireless cameras so no cabling needed. Just change the battery packs every 3-6 months.
If you can afford an monitored alarm get Frontpoint.

 

Ugh! They are so expensive

 

Yeah I'm good I my house then. Maybe one day!

 

Thanks! Yes definitely the garage since I'll be parking in there once i have everything out up and my attic entrance is in there

 

I want a dog....a cane Corso actually.... but ill need to get a rescue to afford one.

 

Thanks!

 

Sweet I'll check them out thanks!

 

Maybe you can find one within your budget means, but as far as motion light with backup batt never seen or heard of

 

I'm a dog lover.... best dogs I've had are my English mastif and cane Corso.... expensive but the best lovable dogs to family and protect til the death
