How to protect Vacant Home while rehabbing

Just start to rehabbing and would like to know what is the most effective way to secure a vacant property in rehabbing stage. I read about the topics online and it seems that Dog, CCTV, light are useful. Without Wifi, a camera is not possible. I am thinking about the electronic dog barking alarm with motion detection but don't know what to choose.  Any product recommendations? I don't see a product with real good reviews in Amazon.

Fake CCTV and fake Tv light are also considered. I plan to add them to the security package.

I know Simplisafe and might try one. However, I wonder what accessories do you choose? Is it really useful from your experience? Where can I find the promotion/discount code for Simplisafe? I remember the BP podcasts used to advertise it.

Thanks.

Have an alarm system that you can program what it says .  So when a door gets opened or a window . It yells out " Hey Bill grab me another beer "
