Bill, FWIW, a LEO friend said the best deterrent is the dogs. However, in your case, a guard dog would be comforting.
Alarms don't work. Statistically, you've got as much chance discouraging intruders with a mere ADT sign as to have the actual equipment. Many police departments no longer respond to home alarms.
Firearms are good, but only after the perp is in the house. I don't even like to think of that possibility.
But a guard dog. Crooks really fear them.
