The RING product looks promising for those who can afford it and for certain residences. It has a real time camera and speaker on the door bell and will alert your cell phone when someone approaches your entry.

Answer the alert and you tell the perpetrator the police are on the way and you have a photo or video of them. I think there are other such systems. They still may grab and run, but can be a deterrent for thieves looking for a softer target.

Night time security is best with motion sensor floods/spots to your entryways, including side gates. We don't have floods, but little solar powered motion lights on all possible entries. Bought them some years ago through a catalog (Harriets?), and they still work. A little annoying when the Santa Ana winds are strong, but fair trade off. Of course, you need the Sun to charge. Home Depot and Lowes have many security options. Or just search for your specific needs. ADT is a long time leader in security systems.

All Ring, or any of the others, do is record the theft. Police don’t respond to any of this stuff. Try calling them and tell them you have video of a porch pirate theft. They’ll laugh.
