[quote=Anonymous]Not sure I get all this. OP lives in a really well-to-do neighborhood which is a gated community with its own armed patrol. Then some houses in the neighborhood have full-time guards stationed at the entrance to their house.

Yet, in such a nice neighborhood, there is a constant threat of break-ins? Maybe it's time for the homeowner's association to fire the community's security company, or pay them more to increase staffing?

Anyway, you don't need to jump straight to "gun". You should first hire a security consultant who can analyze your house, the neighborhood, and all the weakneses. From waht I unerstand, strangers walked onto your yard, but never even tried to open a door or break in.

A securty consultant will look at how your doors and windows and home overall is secure. At our house, we checked the type of locks on each door for ease of kicking in the door, and have special security film (bulletproof too actually) over all glass on our main floor, so the windows can't be smashed in. We also have security cameras, and they are wired so wifi issues do not affect them. As for lighting, most of the lighting at our house stays on all night -- it's not motion triggered. It's also mounted high enough that a criminal can't just reach up and unscrew the bulb. This is the kind of stuff a security consultant will help you with.
