I really appreciate that you didn't edit out the mistake... you admitted your mistake and kept going, which shows us what NOT to do.. Thank you for keeping it real.!👍🏾👍🏾

I admire your humility. Most videographers only want to broadcast what makes them look like they are superior to the average Joe in every way, and actually exposes many of them as narcissists. You step far above that. Thanks for an honest presentation.

[CookieSlinger]

What make your videos best is that you don't just show the products, you also test them out and show examples of how they work. Great video bro, as always!

[nuhuh]

Thank you so much for making this video! No annoying music, no long-winded nonsense. The most part I’m impressed is that you tested each of your solutions and you even showed your failure. What a honest guy! Great job!

Tip #3 about security system notices is a bad idea. When you post notices of what security system is monitoring your property, you also notify burgalars which security system to disable, and what equipment they'll need to defeat it.
A better idea for the same effect is generic notices, like "We're watching you", or "Paid surveilance on site". That last one prevents potential intruders from distinguishing between electronic surveilance and patrolling people.
"Beware of roaming security dog" is one of my personal favorites. "Armed drones launched by motion detection" could also work.

No fail, learning experience for all of us. Thank you for doing this series!

Great video. My only caution would be the window film. As a 17 year firefighter, in the event of a fire, the film could keep you from shattering the glass to get out of the home fast enough. The last thing you want is to need to escape through a window in a fire & and can't break through due to the film on the glass. Nor do you want to slow down firefighters from making entry into a window of a room that you may be in. We definitely have tools to break through that, but those extra seconds or minutes usually make the difference between life & death. Remember: If its harder to get into, its also harder to get out of

I love your videos!
I haven't seen anyone with this content before and I appreciate your transparency.
Keep up the great work!

The Blink cams work well. Another great security tool is the big metal bars that wedge between the floor and door knob.

Great video. So useful. Thank you for showing stuff I can easily buy on Amazon, that's exactly what I needed. I need to feel safe inside my house and your videos are helping me a great deal. I can create layers of security with simple things and without anybody's help (except yours of course). As a woman I am grateful for your work. I love your personality as well, so humble and grounded. Thank you.

Great tips. I know you were focused mainly on window security but since you mentioned other ways of protecting the home, I would have added motion lights. I connected my outdoor cameras to motion lights. So if someone comes on my property the lights come on and they will get a good view of my camera and vice versa. You can even find less expensive motion lights that run on solar, as well as motion light bulbs that can replace any outdoor lighting. They also come in handy when you get home late at night, to light the way.

Thank-you!! ❤ I sold water beds in the 80's. We used an ink pen to show how difficult it was to puncture I did it once and it went right through the mattress😱 I just said - we'll let me show you how the patch kit works!!! Turnd out their biggest fear was what happens if it gets s hole😂 they saw it was no big deal . The other salesman came by saw what I was doing and I asked him why it punctured- he said becausevits a cold bed. This one doesn't have the heat on it. So he took us to the heated bed and let thrm both try to puncture it 😂😂 they couldn't puncture it. So they were really happy and comfortable and bought the entire bedroom suite, linens, pillows etc.❤❤❤ we learned from your experience to allow the full dry time❤😊

[stephanie_beth]

🙏👏 So glad I came across your channel. You stand out because you explain clearly step-by-step, use products you've chosen that are reasonably priced for those of is with tight budgets, actually install, and provide links.

After watching your other video, I returned the strike plate and screws I'd bought to buy the one you used and other items. I'm going to get the window vibrate alarms, etc. from this one.

Anyhow, I just wanted to thank you for sharing such practical, important information. 😊

[jlnasseri]

I really appreciate your tips and demonstrations. To the point, not difficult to do and well thought out. Thanks.

[angie]

I loved your video! I learned a lot with it. A real family man, trying it's best to protect your family as most parents do. I appreciate your advice and will start on my windows right away. Thank you!

To get some ventilation from an open sliding window or door, place a dowel rod or pvc pipe in the track that is cut to a certain length that would fresh air, but not allow a body to slip inside.

Another tip: Sliding windows and doors can often be 'lifted off' its track. To prevent this, some people will install a screw in the upper track. The screws protruding section can be adjusted to allow the window or door to slide, but prevent it from being lifted out. I've seen some newer sliding windows that have a 'slip-on' piece of plastic trim that does the same function.

I own a window film company you should let it cure for at least 10-15 days and apply dowsil 995 1/2 in bead around the window to the frame. That dowsil 995 has 350 psi tensile strength it suspends the window so you can’t push it it in, love the video try it like this next time you will see amazing results!

[moonbeam]

Thank You so much, for such a comprehensive, well put-together presentation! The window test was not a fail. We do appreciate your dedication to providing honest, balanced well-researched assessments of products used, . And you did an extraordinary job of informing us of certain products, effectively showing how to use and how to install them ANd you sacrificed YOUR own resources, time, effort, funds, research, to get this insight out tonus. Such a fantastic video. THANK YOU!

[LiliWhyte]

Thanks for sharing your tips. I like that you show us how these things work & sometimes don't work. Either way, they're all lessons to learn.

I appreciate the links to the products you're using so we can look them up & see if it's something we'd like to try.

Thanks too for not peddling anything.

Great demonstration video...would you recommend using the window alarms on motor vehicles. Most car alarms don't activate when the windows are broken.
