IMHO, Sumter County (I think) still offers a home security review. We implemented many of their suggestions. I would just install nanny cams or similar cameras to be able to catch the bad guys afterwards. Many of the "security" cameras can be hacked, and now the bads guys are watching YOU and now know when you are NOT around. I have wired cameras for this reason and these are not connected to the wireless system. I figure the police will probably not be able to get to the house in time to actually catch the bad guys, but I will have video to catch them after the fact.
On a side note, I find the villages to be very safe, but I do not believe in monitored security systems.
