this is also idea if you want cctv but want it discrete as its in a security light

i think if your working from you own home you have to beef it up as such more so that you would do if you just lived there and didnt work there
you might not ever need it but it pays to be vigilant and safe
things that i would reccomend doing is looking at your house /flat for its weak spots look at it as if you would want to break in and see how easy it is to do it
simple cheap things are things like
If you have a gate then put a lock a lot lower down the gate than usual so that someone cant put there hand over to open it you could also put a bolt on it that you can bolt at night
if you have a gate put a good padlock ( bike locks like kryptonite are very strong you need a tool cutter to get it off which takes time )
Good high powerd floodlight they can be bought for under a tenner from B&Q
if you have a wall which is easy to get over, just get some fences and get them attached to it to prevent anyone jumping over
Put up a sign/sticker that states you have cctv ect /alarms ect and put up a sign saying Guard Dogs /Caution Dogs even if you dont have one or its a little handbag dog thieves and scumbags hate dogs
often we put on our websites /profiles that were away on holiday which is basically saying come and rob me cos im in spain at the moment
More expensive but still worth it
a good alarm with remote access /dial out ect is worth investing in my alarm has one of those bloody annoying sweetshops ding dong noises that it makes everytime my front door opens and closes drive me nuts but it a good warning system
and if you rent get wireless alarms and then you can take it with you
