I use these on all my exterior doors. Makes it a bit harder to kick in. I am sure after a kick or two, they will just bust out a window. https://www.amazon.com/Door-Armor-MAX-Complete-Reinforcement/dp/B00E9ZGWNQ/ref=asc_df_B00E9ZGWNQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=194883046452&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14939160437115477649&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027196&hvtargid=pla-314702811323&psc=1 |

Move them inside where they can actually do some good? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: Yep....got two, but they stay in a multi-acre fenced in area in the back....along with a couple donkeys. The donkeys make more noise than the dogs do when someone comes down the driveway

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great point!! I will get some better screws for those hinges! I used 2.5" (plenty long enough to go through the wood chassis) deck screws going into the steel clad door, 3 per hinge. |

I also just received my second inside nanny cam. I'm setting it up to record and alert motion from 7:00am to 3:30pm. Placed in the bedroom out of site. This is an area of the house I don't need bad guys going into when I'm gone. I also have 6 outside NVR cams and an additional nanny cam in front room.

I have a separate thread about these going but figured worth adding here also.
For the cheap route Wyze cameras on Amazon are $25 each. I purchased 3 plus outdoor cases for them total was $107 with prime.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileNeighbors kids running through my yard when I'm not home... Not cool.  Attached File Attached File |

Tell me about your camera system. I'm in the market for one myself and need suggestions. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I know there are a million things you can do to make your house harder to break into, the sky is the limit as long as you have the money to throw at it. What about cheap, easy things that you can do? We live “out in the country”, with no other neighbors close by…..so I’m always looking for little things to improve the security of our place….or at least make it less of a target to some random crack head/thug. Here are a few things we’ve done over the years…..just looking to see if anyone else has any ideas. * Planted thorny plants/shrubs in front of all front windows * Put aftermarket locks on the large sliding doors going into the basement * Put aftermarket locks, and some of those magnetic piezo alarm buzzers on all of the sliding storm windows around the house that are at ground level * I ran extra long heavy duty screws into all of the dead bolt catch plates * Motion detecting security/flood lights on the front of the house * 6 camera system around the outside of the house…..what other easy things am I forgetting here? |

For people that can't have a dog, get a BIG dog food bowl anyway. Beat the shit out of it and write Mauler or Killer on it. Leave it outside in a visible location.
