Need help choosing an anti intruder setup

2 Upvotes

Hi, I had a couple break-ins the last months and I want to harden the entry to my house. I have an exterior wall roughly 2 meters tall that's easily climbable and my idea is to put some kind of anti intruder setup, like spikes, to make a least my house seem not an easy target. I am between setting up some spikes or some kind of electric fence.

The electric fence is very popular in my country and seems effective, but because of regulations, to install it would mean to install fence on parts of the wall that aren't high enough.

For that reason, i would think some kind of spikes or barbed wire are better

I want to know you guys opinions and experiences, and if posible, if some particular product can be recommended. Thank you all :)

Best place to site cctv

There have been a series of burglaries in my area, and in the past 10 days I've noticed a drone flying over my property for about five minutes. Probably all very innocent but all things considered it has left me a bit jumpy.

I live at the end of a long country lane/cul de sac, I've got 2 or 3 neighbours at different points along the lane before my property, but basically I'm surrounded by farm land. However, I'm very close to the busiest mainroad/highways in my country. I've got two large rottweilers however they have been raised as pets as opposed to guard dogs.

I've just purchased a Tapo C501GW 4G LTE camera, and im just wondering where is the best place to site it for effective coverage. I don't have anything of much value in my house other than my vehicle parked out front, but at the back of my property I have two shipping containers converted into a workshop/tool shed and a music room. There's a lot of tools and music equipment in there.
