This is my solution.[/quote]

I can't have a dog, not an option. Alarm would be probably what I must do.  Are they really effective, are burglars really going to avoid homes with alarm signs posted?  Someone suggested to me to get a fake sign and put it in the yard as a deterrent.  Can burglars tell?[/quote]

The primary purpose of the alarm is that [i]you [/i]know you're safe. Heard a weird noise? It was nothing, because the alarm didn't go off. Want to go check it out anyway? Take the alarm button with you just in case.

Cameras work the same way. Hear a weird noise? Check the camera to see if somebody's out there. Find a door open or something missing? Check the camera to see what happened.

Deterrence is a tertiary purpose. I think really good outdoor lights and door locks are probably just as good at deterring. All the burglaries I know about are from unlocked cars or garage doors left open overnight. [/quote]
