Safety and security of rental

[Gabriel Sastre]

Hi all, I own a duplex in Salem County Nj. Crime has been rising a little and with my property having newer renovations and standing out a little more it’s caught some attention. There have been multiple break in attempts, one successful on one side. Only damage so far is some window trimming from trying to pull off a window. Luckily nothing serious yet. Each time reported to local pd which is surprising only two blocks away. But after an incident report that’s where it’s left at. Tenants have recently installed some cameras but nothing high tech. 

What measures have you taken to ensure some safety and deter local nuisance? Ive been considering motion detecting flood lights around the property. Would like to do cctv to back it up but not sure about physical location of box.

thanks in advance
