My grandparents had the house I live in built- back in the 70's. The family has always had dogs, the house has NEVER been broken into, not once- in fact there was never even an attempt to break in. Houses right in my neighborhood have- more than a few WITH sophisticated security systems. One house the perps were caught, but that is because they were dumb enough to move to the area right down the block while the police presence was still in my area. Other than that all that hard earned money spent and wasn't worth it in the end.
I know for a fact that the 2 scariest sounds to a wanna be burglar are 1) the clack-clack of a shotgun advancing a round into the chamber and 2) a very deep, loud bark(s).
Yes, dogs can be silenced, killed, drugged or whatever else but now a days they're looking for a quick hit, not to take care of a dog. Even with an alarm going off they can still ravish your house before the cops are even alerted from the alarm company.
Most neighbors may make a phone call but usually don't notice so they say(choose not to get involved) so the alarm going off will like car alarms now a days fall on deaf/pi$$ed off ears. You test it every so often and your neighbors eventually get sick of a stupid siren if you have that type or the crazy crickets.
The alarm goes off then central station calls the residence so you can give them a password and tell them if everything is ok and then if there's no answer they alert the police, which unless they normally sit right near your home can be another lets say 3 minutes.
Most burglars take what they want in a house in a few minutes give or take so the cops usually arrive to the aftermath.
4 legged alarm all the way for me.
