Highly unlikely that you will capture pros on surveillance video. You may catch kids but even if you do, what good does it do?

Your stuff is still gone and you have the “pleasure” of arguing with your insurance company.

One thing I have heard seems to work reasonably well: Set up motion detectors outside around the perimeter of the house and connect them to the loudest siren you can find.

Downside... Animals can set them off and your neighbours will eventually chase you out of town.

Josh,

I have four outside Swann security cameras set up. They have built in motion detection as well as infrared night vision. These are hard wired to a DVR which begins recording an event when motion has been detected within 85 feet of the camera.

It also sends a picture to my phone of what it is recording and I can also view all four cameras in real time from my phone or a computer.

Swann

I am going to add the Canary indoor camera which is pretty awesome and does many of the same things the Swann system does. Both systems are very affordable.Canary -->

If you go with the security camera route like Vendit or myself, you can store the photos on their cloud. It's not always ridiculously expensive and should help with insurance claims. I went with Kuna for my back door/patio windows and with Ring (now Amazon) for the front door.

Arlo has also just come out with new outdoor cameras. Simplisafe has a reasonable indoor camera.
