I’m certainly not prepared enough but I’m much more prepared than a few years ago.
First Lights on at all entrances.
Motion control lights in the back
Camera at front door, basement door and one in the foyer which has a view of the bottom of my steps to the upstairs a and the door from the basement.
Door sensors including the garage doors signals beeper in hallway outside my bedroom anytime a door is opened.
Motion control sensor in all hallways on each level. They are on standby mode when we are home but still send a notification to the system, which shows up on my phone between 11pm-5am.
I have most of the lights in our main family spaces connected to a Zwave hub and I can push a button on my phone to turn on All of the lights connected at one time. I figured this may be one of the most useful things as it would probably startle someone unexpectedly.
Gun loaded in ready condition in a small safe in my nightstand with extra mags. 4 digit pushbutton code.
I practice getting out of bed and opening the safe every so often and can be armed in 4-5 seconds when awake and aware. I do need to figure out some way of practicing when I’m asleep.
My biggest concern is my college age son coming home unexpectedly. He knows better and has always communicated his plans but still worries me.
I plan on adding a wall safe in my closet to house a suppressed rifle at some point.
I don’t have a dog but I plan figure out how to program my Sonos speaker to play big dogs barking sounds when maybe the door sensors are triggered or the outdoor camera.
