To ask about your home security

We were burgled recently and because of this DH would like to install home security. I’m all for this however would like to be sensible. The sh*ts came through the back garden which is off a private road.

We are looking at home systems from Ring as this is what we can afford and they seem to have good reviews. We will be getting a cctv camera at the front of our house and ring home security alarm kit for indoors. But I can’t decide what to get for the garden, a cctv with 2 way audio which records seems a lot for a garden as the only time it will be useful is if we were burgled again (hopefully, statistically this will not happen for a very long time), I understand the cctv will deter people though.

Do others have cctv in the garden? Or what security measures do you have ?

We have CCTV cameras around the entire perimeter of the house (8 cameras) and have a burglar alarm which we have on when we're out and at night (this connects to our phones to alert if any alarms are set off).
It sounds excessive but we live rurally where no one can really see or hear what is going on.

All my windows and the rear door have shutters on them, like the ones you see on shops, except mine are white.
It is common in my home country to have them for weather purposes, which is why I had them installed here.
Plus I have two giant breed dogs that bark at passing fresh air!
