The fog thing looks pretty cool.

Yeah the real world practical is

  • Always locked doors and windows
  • Alarm with sensors on all doors/windows including the garage doors
  • An excess of smoke and CO detectors (monitored as well)
  • Reinforced doors, the longer screwed, door jamb armor, barricades at night, etc
  • Ready firearm access
  • Exterior lighting
  • Exterior 24/7 always recording cameras some of which are more overt than others
  • Dogs
  • Landscaping trimmed to prevent being able to hide near a door or window
  • Cars always locked and overnight parked inside the garage (and locked when in the garage even)

So I’m not really interested in what looks like a clickbait sponsored ads for gadgets to buy

I have a dog. He is not a gadget but I well take him over any gadget any day.

All of the above plus impact resistant doors and windows, electrified concertina wire ( not available on Amazon ) and land mines!

You don’t actually have to plant the mines if you use the signs strategically. Go ahead, press one for English! :rofl:

A couple of high voltage signs, some scrap wire and exposed wires usually can deter an intelligent person!
They work best on chain link fences topped with aforementioned concertina wire!

I’ve found most dogs, excluding trained K-9’s, are susceptible to treats and a little loving!

Ha ha I love my dog, I am still susceptible to K9s. My first dog was a K9 German Shepherd. All the kids in the neighborhood used to want to come over to walk her. She was like I am really mean, no, I’m not just kidding.

The famous “Blue Heeler!”

:+1:

Heelers are bad ass. Next door neighbor has a little red heeler and a huge bullmastiff. Neighbor has “Beware of dog” signs on all their fence gates. It ain’t because of the bullmastiff. Little heeler runs the roost.
Extremely fast & vicious when the bullmastiff pisses it off, it draws blood. It’s like watching a B-17 against an Me262.

My brother has a blue heeler. Very smart and observant dog. And strong as an ox.

Saw one online, fella used a garden hose, he placed hardware nails in the hose - to form a triangle, several sets along the hose as a substitution.

…And 2 LARGE dog dishes, one for water and one for food (kept partially filled daily- don’t worry, small nocturnal critters will “rotate the stock”) place each in a visible or partially visible location. Actual dog is optional. A good motion sensing growling machine would be a good option as well.
