How to protect against burglary

I mounted a horn & a red & blue light on the front of my house that no one can miss seeing. I am thinking of adding a camera enclosure also. I do have a large dog who hangs around the front steps of the house most of the time.

"Do you think we incur burglary risk by posting system details and gallery photos of our system in this or other forums?"

Yes I do. If people can somehow track where you live. It may not happen on a forum such as this, but other places, it may happen.

I'd think twice about posting a warning about being armed and ready to use it.
Some prosecutors has made a career by convincing a jury that you intended to kill someone and couldn't wait for the burglary to happen.

Most sane states don't allow killing someone for theft unless you're unfortunate enough to live in one of those states with a "stand your ground" law on the books. Nowadays that castle law is being taken to extremes.

Personally, I like the look of cameras and lights to deter common criminals. It's the uncommon criminal who will successfully rob you and you won't know it happened until you enter your home.

A big, mean dog.

If someone breaks into your home with the intention of harming or robbing you, they should expect whatever it is they get. And what they get could be anything in a long line of home defense, up to and including lead poisoning.
