- Consider installing security cameras and/or video doorbell system
- Install solid-core doors on all exterior doors with deadbolt locks
- Install bright security lighting on the exterior of your home. Using motion detectors is a good consideration to conserve energy while providing security
- Installing fencing with a secure lockable gate to prevent easy access to the rear of your home
