My 1st house in the early 90's was on the edge of a college campus. Mostly families, but were slowly selling and being converted to student housing. More and more partying...and hooligans. I wired the house and shop for alarms. Still wasn't much of a deterrent. A few attempted shop break ins. A couple of times I ran out with the pistol to scare them off, but knew I would be the hooligan if I discharged it in the city limits unless my life was in danger. An me running around outside in my underwear with my pistol is not really trying to keep myself safe. I did have a snowmobile and trailer get stolen next to the shop. The trailer was recovered a couple of months later.
That was when I decided to move to just outside of the city, but having great neighbors to keep an eye on each other.
I do have 'ARLO' cameras around the property to record, just in case. No monthly service, and text alerts.
