How most break-ins happen
It's rarely a heist. It's an easy target.
UK police and crime surveys describe the same pattern again and again. Most burglars aren't planning anything clever. They're looking for the house that makes it easy.
Sizing it up
They look for easy
A house that looks empty, shows little security, or has a window left open. Most domestic burglaries are opportunist.

The way in
They try what's open
Doors are used in over three-quarters of break-ins. Around one in five walk through a door that wasn't locked.

The keys
They want the car
Car keys are taken in around one in ten burglaries. Keys by the front door or letterbox are the first thing found.

In and out
They're quick, and they return
It can be over in five minutes. A home that's been hit once can be hit again once the stolen things are replaced.

Ex-offenders asked by Co-op Insurance named CCTV, a barking dog and motion-sensor lights among the things that put them off. A camera works best as one layer alongside good locks and lighting. Our free guide covers the rest.
Three cameras, outside to inside
Watch the way in, and what's inside
Two window cameras watch the outside of your home, one for downstairs and one with a 20° mount that tips it down from a bedroom window. The indoor camera turns a full circle to keep an eye on the hallway, the back door or the kids' room.
Downstairs window
Ground floor camera
Sticks straight onto a front room or kitchen window and looks out level, at the height of a face at your door.
Best for the front door, the path and the side gate
Not sure where to start? A good set-up for most homes is the upstairs camera at the front, a ground floor camera at the back door, and the indoor camera in the hallway.
Prices and ratings from Amazon UK on 29 October 2026 and may change. Amazon UK reviewers most often praise the picture quality, the value for money and, for the indoor camera, how easy it is to set up.
What it does
See who's there. Day or night.
It films out through the glass without the glare you'd get from a normal indoor camera, and sends an alert to your phone the moment someone walks up.

It sticks to the window, so there are no holes to explain to the landlord.
Out of reach
Behind the glass it can't be knocked, pulled off or rained on.
Up in minutes
Stick it on, plug in the USB-C cable and pair it with the free app.

Where to put it
Think about the way someone would actually approach your home: up the path to the front door, to the car, or round the side to the back. Then think about the one route through the house that everyone has to take.
Use both together: upstairs sees the whole front, downstairs gets the face.
Front · downstairs
Front room window
The closest window to your front door. It sees every caller at face height and anyone coming up the path.
Use the ground floor camera
Front · upstairs
Front bedroom window
The best all-round view. It looks down over the doorstep, where you park and the front gate, and nobody can reach it.
Use the upstairs camera
Back
Kitchen or back bedroom
Point it at the back door and the side gate, where most people can't see from the street.
Downstairs: ground floor. Upstairs: upstairs camera
Inside
Hallway or landing
Up on a shelf, facing the front door and the stairs. Anyone who gets in has to pass it, and you can turn it to look round the room.
Use the indoor camera
Check the Wi-Fi at that window
Stand there with your phone first. If the signal is weak, a cheap Wi-Fi extender nearby fixes it.
Clean the glass, inside and out
Wipe it, let it dry, and make sure there's no grease where the pad will go.
Press it flat to the glass
Any gap between the lens and the window lets in reflections from the room.
Keep it in front of the curtains
The camera sits between the glass and your nets, blinds or curtains, so you can close them at night.
Check the view before it's final
Open the live view on your phone. You want the door, the path and the gate all in shot.
Turn on person alerts
Alerts for people only means you're not woken by cats, rain or headlights.
Add a microSD card
It's what lets the camera record round the clock, so there's footage if you ever need it.
Watch for lamps at night
A lamp shining straight at the window behind the camera can cause glare on the glass. Move it or angle it away.
Setting up the indoor camera
Put it up high, on a shelf or a wall bracket, with a clear view of the front door and the bottom of the stairs. Keep it back from windows, because its night vision light reflects off glass. Plug in a microSD card for recording, and turn on person alerts so you only hear about what matters.

Darker evenings mean more break-ins. Co-op Insurance found home theft claims rise by over a third in the five months after the clocks go back. Enfield's figures show monthly burglaries up to 1.5 times higher from October to March.

The four that matter most
Researchers at Nottingham Trent and Loughborough universities studied Crime Survey data on which security actually works. These four together gave homes close to 50 times more protection than having no security at all. Neighbourhood Watch calls it WIDE.
