/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm looking for some ideas on how to secure a remote rural property against theft, especially when it's unoccupied. It will be fairly low-key but it will have solar panels and satellite dishes that advertise to theives.

I was considering camouflaged tire-spikes on the main driveway and perhaps either narrow ditches or anti-vehicle cable on the outer perimeter. I was also considering motion detectors that text an alert, but I feel that'd cause a lot of false alarms.

The goal is to have an inexpensive place to live and work from home over the long term, mostly alone, so no expensive total-loss insurance policies or armed guards or anything crazy.
