Alarms can be a good but be wary of getting a false sense of security or being sold a system you don’t need.

If you do want an alarm do business with an established company and make sure everyone in your home knows how to properly set your alarm.
Alarm companies count on a police response. False alarms are a major problem for the police. They tie up resources, take officers away from other duties, and leave other areas unprotected.
Other good options are sirens, strobe lights, and motion sensors with floodlights that will activate when tripped. They will attract attention and possible witnesses. Photo cell lights that turn on and off at dusk and dawn are another good option.
