    True, but again it’s about making it as inconvenient as possible. Manually locking windows and making sure they are locked is effective. In some places they put security bars on the windows. Tall fences can also create obstacles as well.

    You won’t stop everyone that wants to break in, but you can create enough trouble to keep out most people. Making it convenient for yourself by connecting everything to the internet just makes it convenient for everyone else too.

      You can’t ever stop someone who really wants to get into your home. The best you can do is make your home look too tedious to bother with.

      Or make your neighbor’s home more attractive. Try keeping the neighbor’s house key, neatly labelled & with alarm code, under your own doormat. Just in case.
