1) What are the odds that I will be ripped off? I mean, is it all THAT common?

2) What kinds of security measures can I take to discover an intruder early - before they do damage?

Advice and input are appreciated.
If you could afford it, I would suggest high-resolution IP cameras with analytics. The high-resolution allows for easy identification, the IP camera allows for networking including long-distance access points. And the analytics is a form of camera intelligence that can identify certain human activity and then notify you or your security instantaneously via smart phone with an actual picture in real time. A regular dumb analog camera system will only show you videos of people with masks on as they rob you after the fact.

I am a security consultant specializing in cameras. I works with medical marijuana growers concerning their special security needs.
