In other words, they make great backups, but you don\u2019t want them as your sole means of protection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 Fake Cameras and Signs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because thieves tend to avoid properties with home security systems, some homeowners think they can save money by putting up fake signs or cameras. Unfortunately, criminals can spot these very easily and will ignore them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 Guns or Other Weapons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You could argue that it\u2019s best to have firearms or other means of personal protection once a criminal has entered your home, but they don\u2019t deter thieves from breaking in, in the first place. Also, you are statistically more likely to accidentally shoot yourself or a member of your family than you are an actual criminal.<\/p>\n<p>Dogs, firearms, and signage are all important parts of the home security mix. However, none of them can replace the value of a good alarm system.
