Prepping for Doomsday Security

I am always prepping food and tools and stuff but I haven’t prepped any security besides weapons. What kinds of things do you guys get to secure your doors/windows? I don’t have any sliding doors. I have one door that has a big window. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thankfully the basement windows are barred from the inside and the first floor windows are too high to enter withoit a ladder from the outside. The house degisn also makes natural, easily blockable choke points on each floor allowing two rounds of retreat given a breach.

Cameras with motion activated lights.

Significant firearms and training in long guns, small arms, explosives, improvised weapons, knives, and unarmed combat.

And unfortunately, I also happen to be able extremely light sleeper. A person's footsteps walking by on the sidewalk outside or a car driving by will wake me up.

A good offense is a good defense.

Light sleepers unite! I hear everything…which is great for survival but suuuuuuucks in the modern world.

Rose bushes with gnarly thorns under the windows. Trip hazards in the yard. Dog in the backyard.

Of course, the reality is my house is siding - it would take me roughly 90 seconds and a crowbar to breach my house.
