Home Security Thread

hey, I'm moving (rent) to a flat in a big city in central yurop- let's say the threat model involves drunks, burglars, sometimes there's a stabbing each month or two. I've decided to secure my flat which is on the ground floor (fug) with a security camera, solar light, maybe? Also I've considered buying some kind of melee weapon (taser etc.). Also I can't mess around with doors and walls, like drilling into them. so I'm starting Home Security thread, I'd love to hear some ideas that you practise, thanks guys

>>19779 kida memey but it's the first thing that came to my head when thinking of home security

>>19779 > Webcams can be used as a home security system > to boost your home security, you have to compromise your online security Yeah, no...

>>19780 gun laws are soykafed in central/western yurop, but getting a shot gun or CO gun is a way as well

>>19783 just get a webcam with a physical cover

>>19738 If it's sending data to a server you control, and you're not using garbo/proprietary software, you're not really sacrifing privacy at all…

>>19786 Well I'm dyslexic apparently, wrong post. >>19783

>>19783 Online? Just have the camera on your local network.

I personally just use a dog. They work pretty well. Even if they do nothing.

>>19786 Even if it's 100% botnet you could just block the IPs it communicates with. But it's easier to just get a raspberry pi or something.

>>19792 Yeah, but in that case if someone breaks into your house he can just destroy or steal whatever device you have and the proof is gone. Thats why I think if you go for cameras, you should set it up so the footage is sent somewhere for backup. Obviously it should be to a device that you own in another location, but it's a lot of work.

Make it look like someone is home - put some lights on a timer, even those old school physical timers. Be friendly with your neighbors, as long as your neighbors are not hoodlums and likely to rob you themselves. Motion lights are indeed a good idea.

>>20137 Nah, that image is something I simply found on le Google as illustration image, not something to follow. >Alexa Nope.

Good topic, here's my bump. Physical security is necessary.
