7. Install Dummy Surveillance Cameras

You don’t need to buy expensive surveillance cameras to keep your home safe. You can actually trick would-be intruders by installing cameras that seem like they’re watching your house, even if they really aren’t.

8. Bar Doors and Windows

Sliding windows and doors give burglars good opportunities to invade your house.

So, keep your home safe by cutting some dowels and making sure they fit into the track whenever the windows or doors are closed.
