ᐅ Security system upgrade with two cats – any technical experience?

In neighboring villages, there have been two break-ins reported in a short period of time. Now we’re really starting to worry that these criminals might target us as well. In Leipzig, there was actually a whole series of break-ins that was even mentioned on TV. Here in the surrounding area, we had hoped to be somewhat safer. But that now seems to be over.
When building the house, we installed wiring for an alarm system. But at the time, we didn’t fully consider that it wouldn’t work with two cats. The equipment can tolerate one cat but not two. At least, we haven’t found any system that does.
So, what can we do? We have mushroom locks on the windows and aluminum roller shutters in front of them. But that’s it. Does anyone have any tips on how to upgrade the security technically? Are cameras any use?

Do you have RC2N fittings installed, or what kind of hardware do you have? Sorry. I don’t remember. My husband looked that up.
I always wonder why anyone would need to search for their keys. Mine are always within easy reach near the window/door but cannot be accessed from the outside.
By the way, one of our neighbors who experienced a break-in had RC2N windows but no lockable door handles. After the break-in, everything was upgraded to RC3, including handles with keys.

You mean windows/doors rated RC3. In private homes, usually only RC2N or at most RC2 is installed.

Of course the dog is with us on vacation, but when sleeping or briefly away... Surely we are one of the last houses here that burglars would choose 😉 I hope so for you, but at a friend’s house, both large dogs were killed by the burglars during a break-in. And this is not the first case I know of. I believe burglars are hardly deterred by dogs, just like car thieves. For those who work ruthlessly and professionally, this is everyday business.
