I just don't know where to start...hurry up and overhaul...and blog!

Comparatively low-tech, but should prove adequate. You make an excellent point with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_prevention_through_environmental_design" rel="nofollow">CPTED</a> stuff. I'll admit I've done little reading on it, but most of the points I've picked up from the commonly available literature seem to be an extension of common sense. For the most part our property is excellent in this respect. We'd like to add a small perimeter fence, but in other respects I think the current layout is adequate. I'm thinking I'll have to do a bit more reading to make sure I'm not overlooking stuff. -GRIN- (Natural and existing features are solid. No basement windows - they're blocked up right now, and I was planning to reopen them using glass brick - ground floor windows are approx 5' off the ground, side door exposed to public view from street outside and covered by perimeter lighting, front door elevated and in close proximity to street - a complaint of mine, but the house is only a few meters back from the sidewalk).

Some of the emerging video technology is awesome. Stuff like megapixel video cameras with virtual PTZ software. No moving parts and very high resolution. In addition to all the physical security hardware, do a formal CPTED analysis of your place. It's probably the cheapest way to make your home less attractive to interlopers.
