There are a few things that you can do.

First don't show your wealth. Burglars only break into your home when they have a suspicion there is something to take. When you live a low key life they won't bother you that easily.

Always watch your surroundings and report suspicious behaviour. Especially when you live in a high risk area. 

Don't tell people when you go on a vacation. People sometimes post this on social media, that's stupid because burglars can see it to when nobody is home. Also don't make your house look like nobody is home. When the mail box is full and the gras isn't mowed for 3 weeks, it's not hard to tell.

Get a good security system. I can recommend all the products from Nest. You can use them with your mobile phone and google assistant. https://amzn.to/2SjDGoh

Keep your documents and valuable belongings in a safe that you can bolt in the floor or wall. That way they can't take it with them. https://amzn.to/2Bhxsvw

Or hide your money etc in something burglars won't expect like for instance this secret compartment stash can: https://amzn.to/2t0eqFf

Always have better security than your neighbors. A burglar will always choose the easier option.

Also, get a dog. One that begins with "Pit" and ends with "bull." Burglars tend to skip homes like those...

Yea. I think it's good to have grills and a dog around. Cctv is useful for deterring burglars but a dog and having grills would be great as they would think twice before coming. Hide all valuables in places.
