I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

    Surveillance both overt and covert backed up off site and with battery backup. Guard dogs.

    Those two will make people pause. But let’s say someone says fuckit they’re coming in anyway. And you want more than your typical 2A stuff?

    There’s a lot you can do now with facial recognition and stepper motors. Chemical deterrence. Visual/thermal deterrence. Pretend you’re Kevin Mccallister.

    Above all that, be tight with your neighbors. Community, community, community.
