If a dog is impractical, get some geese.
They will squawl and geek and cluck at anybody approaching the property and you can have some lovely free range eggs and a goose each Christmas.
Burglars do not want to be seen as equally as they do not want to be heard. A goose or geese is better protection than most alarms.

Collapsable grills or polycarbonate secondary glazing on all windows.
High quality wooden or composite doors with BS rated locks.
Pref additional reinforcement around hinges and locks.
Decent monitored alarm system but don't expect response within 45min ie Telly and oil paintings may be gone but any valuables in a decent safe will still be there.
CCTV recording will show any idiots and is worth having but pros will keep faces covered.
Geese are great. I've even been to small domestic burglaries where the family dog has been killed or badly hurt.

WOW, thanks all!
That's 2 shout outs for the geese! I did get approached by them on entering one drive once and the racket/fright factor is amazing. Popular in Roman times...
Thanks for the link, Roaldo, does that include remote access from somewhere else? :0p
I am thinking of getting hold of digi-watcher which has a cool 'if this cam is tripped your modem (dialup i suppose) will call number x.
If you have a webcam with a live net feed like I do are there modern phones that can view such a video stream?
Thanks again!
