This way if we are not at home, if the thief enters into the view of camera, the photos will be emailed to our phones. The question is what to do next? Shall we call the police 111, what about the police not coming to my house? Shall I install alarm which we can trigger remote to warn the thief and alert neighbor to get help?
May I ask now fence and roller shutter can help defend thief?
My neighbor has a gate and never got used. There is a switch just near the gate to open the gate. We share the fence and the fence just around 1 meter high and it is so easy to get over the fence to open the door.
I imagine if the fence is four meters high and it won't stop the thief.
There is license fee and injection to pay every year for the dog. And you need to feed the dog which cost a fortune too.
It is so easy for the thief to get around the dog as security as all they need to do is to feed the dog with poisonous food which already demonstrated in the movies.
As you mentioned about treating the dog as family member, if you don't mind me to tell you the truth, if the dog is sick and going to die, the sadness is quite big to your family.
