Good neighbors you trust.
We have a Ring System, cameras front and back, window and door sensors, broken glass and flood detector, motion detector inside.
Monitored 24/7 and viewable on phone app. The sheriff dept does not recommend any specific system, but strongly urges homeowners to get one.
It's handy when UPS or FedEx makes a delivery while we are gone. The front motion detector tells us someone approached the door. We look on the phone and see the package. I then text my neighbor to retrieve it for us. I do the same for him. He has a similar system.
It has a SIM card and battery backup, so if the internet and/or power goes down (frequently) it still works via the cell system.
Our homeowner insurance gave us a 25% premium break after we installed the system.
Also handy when I was working in front yard and my wife was gone for the day shopping. She tried to call me on my cell but it was inside the house. She opened up the app and saw me on the front camera. She then called me over the camera speaker, told me to call her on my phone.
We notify the Sheriff Dept and they put us on a vacation watch list. The patrol drives by more frequently and looks over the house as he slowly drives by.
The other poster claimed 'Police will not do anything unless it is murder'. That may be true where he lives, but not here. They post burglary security video on their facebook page and "If you recognize this person please call us" with a reward offered. Sometimes it is a person already known to law enforcement. "We recognize him. We will go pick him up right now."
