.A hidden method of egress and escape should be a priority. A position somewhere outside of the home to put rifle fire on those breaking into the home. If even just for revenge as you leave for safety.JMHO
Very important and often overlooked.

Love the idea of the 3M security film. I looked around online an can only find one store in the Indy area that offers this and they are installers as well. I also couldn't find it to buy online either, looks like I have to go to a distributer. Anyone able to find this stuff elsewhere? How hard and time consuming is it for DIY?

3MWho is the Indy installer?
I like this idea, cause my house has 8 FRENCH DOORS, you can see outside from almost any room in the house, need to protect from someone kicking my french doors down
OK, it took me a minute...What makes you think they will surrender so easily to an invader?!
I got some and turned into a great dad the day that I got em for getting the kids a sand box... Lol the wife never even knew. also had to get some extra bags of sand in case of cats.....
3M Film must be installed by an authorized supplier to have a warranty, etc. I could not find anyplace to buy it from. My installers did give me some extra, at no cost, so I could install it on a couple workshop windows
Question fortify or secure, when SHTF? Near term you might survive. But long term when gangs start to form, what then? How do you hold off a posse of determined thugs that want your stuff?
Best I've found is 0.220 inch in 4' x 8' sheets at Home Depot for $420 a pop. You have another, more economical, source for that particular commodity?.250 Lexan cut to fit, and screwed or bolted over all the glass on the exterior of your home.
Yes. It can illuminate the intruder so they can more easily see what they are doing and break in quicker. Best to keep motion-activated lights such that they only inhibit the intruder, not assist, or better yet, only use IR motion activated lights for the benefit of the IR cameras.Motion activated light can be a game changer as well.
Do you have any earthly idea how much aerogel costs? Coating your house in 1/4" sheets of titanium wouldn't be as costly.As for fireproofing, I suggest aerogel-impregnated insulation matting. Aerogel is very lightweight, adding very little weight to insulation, and by itself, almost totally negates any type of energy transfer - thermal or acoustic.
Every time some intrepid inventor creates something more foolproof than the last, the universe goes and creates a bigger fool.Again, NOTHING is foolproof.
I've never seen a true IP digital camera under $1000.In this day and age, there is absolutely no excuse for installing new video security systems based on analogue video. If it's not Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) IP digital cameras ... hope... $150...
CostCaptain: ProView PoE Internet Camera
Not saying it's the most high quality PoE IP cam, but it'll do until something of higher quality enters your price range. Lots of commercial 720p or even 1080p IP cams are out there for less than $250 or even $150.
And I fail to comprehend your distinction about analogue cameras. Once the circuitry/software has rendered the stimulae tickling its imager into a stream of digital data for ethernet broadcast, what distinction are you saying matters?
Yes, I get the off fall from stuff we cut at work,usually 28" to 30" wide by 96"......for FREE!Best I've found is 0.220 inch in 4' x 8' sheets at Home Depot for $420 a pop. You have another, more economical, source for that particular commodity?
