First My opinions
Security systems are pointless, doesn't matter if your security company calls the cops, a burglar will be in and out before they will even show up.
The best you can do is
A: Don't make it easy for them. Re-enforce the frame around the door latch. You'd be surprised how easy it is to kick a door in. (I have a 1/8" metal flat stock running the full height of the door frame that the latch goes through). Make sure you have a bar keeping the sliding glass door from opening. And finally make sure you have all the windows locked.
B: Keep good insurance
C: Add cameras you maintain yourself. Burglaries are so low on cops priority list they'll just tell you to take it up with your insurance. Unless you can give them something really solid and easy for them to follow. Identifying the burglar in a clear HD video makes their job easier and more likely to have a better outcome.
My approach
I run a samsung smartthings hub. From there I have door sensors, motion sensors, camera, and more. The beauty of this system is you can automate everything. After about 6 months most people tend to start forgetting to arm the system when they leave. My system automatically arms when it senses my wife and my phones have left the house. When it sees that we've left it'll check that the front door is locked, the garage door is down, notify me all is well, and activate the wireless blink cameras that are located inside and outside the house. If we're going to be gone for the night I have a routine that'll randomly turn a few lights on and off in the house. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve but overall it's a nice system that's automated and easy.
If it all fails on me I'll just hope line "A" works and than refer to line "B" above.
