If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car, most cars have them these days. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. It will also alert your neighbors that something is wrong, when you do not turn it off.
It's a security alarm system that requires no installation. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. Try it.
Remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot.

Yes. Three large dogs and a gun!
EDIT: I just read the other comments. *ROFLMAO* It seems most of us have the same "security system"!
SECOND EDIT: I live in Agua Dulce, CA on 22+ acres in Los Angeles County. I absolutely have three large dogs...ok, they're Golden Retrievers but they have a big bark! The burglar doesn't know they're Goldens! ;-) And I do indeed own a gun and the LA County Sheriff is the one who told me to get one because there were a lot of really scary robberies going on here and it takes them 45 minutes to get here!
I also own a shotgun and I'm thinking of turning into Elmer Fudd and start hunting rabbits! I hate these stinking rabbits! I can't grow a durn thing. They even eat my baby trees!
EDIT: Darn Right! Anyone visiting NanaT should definitely CALL FIRST! ;-D
Yes ma'am I do...welll not really an alarm but a deterent....ok, I suppose they would be an alarm for the crook....when he hears the first shot.
1) Ruger Bisley Vaquero .44 Magnum 2) Moseburg 500 A 12.Ga 3) And if they get the jump on me and can run out the door I have a Superior Arms AR-15 in .308 Caliber. I am a 'Dead Eye Dick' at 300 yards with it.... Leopold Nite Scope and 4000 feet per second Ammo.....they aint got a chance...
Cool thing is I live in Texas and we have the 'Castle Law'- they dont have to be in your house anymore, they can be in your yard, your car, or your business....God Bless Texas.
I don't have an alarm system but I have kept my car keys on my nightstand for years, especially when I was on my own for a while. It's a lot cheaper than paying for an alarm system. Using car keys to alert someone that a person is ill or has fallen or has fallen, etc. has proven to be life saving as well.
The issue is that dogs are poor generalizers - it's not that the dog is "sneaky, greedy" etc, but that they have no intrinsic sense of morality or "rightness" and so only think something is "bad" if it has bad consequences. If it has never had bad consequences except with a human in the room, then how on earth are they to know that the rules still apply with the human out of the room? You need to train in such a way that corrections and rewards occur when the dog does not think you are present - i.e. hiding around the corner. Read here https://tr.im/qadDG
I personally owned a Labrador Retriever (read: chow hound) that could be left 6" from a hot dog in a sit-stay for half an hour and not touch it - the word was "mine" and it meant that you don't touch that, even if I am not in the room, even if whatever, you DO NOT touch that. You could leave a plate of food on the floor for hours and not only would she not touch it, she would also keep the other animals (dogs and cats) from touching it.
In all probability, these dogs studied were just not properly trained/proofed before the experiment. With "proofing" to set them up and catch them in the act to give
That is a very good idea. But to answer your question, no I don't have an alarm system. I have a dog that would lick an intruder to death. I don't lock my doors and in the summer they are wide open all night. I realize I am fortunate to live where that is possible.
