One thing that should be mentioned is that the best thing to do is have a strong first line of defense.
-Heavy doors with deadbolts that anchor into a reinforced frame are a must, so is actually locking the doors.
-Ground floor windows should be drilled and pinned for a mix of easy opening and security
-Impact resistant glass coating will prevent someone from punching through a window and unlocking the door or window from the inside.
-Ladders and anything else that could help a burglar get to a higher window should be locked up
-Bright, motion-activated lights should cover the perimeter of the house.
-Anything hidden from view by privacy fences or bushes should be extra secure.
