Comment on How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?

Home security first of all, with cameras to deter thiefs. That alone mostly solves the problem, but I’m in a relatively safe area.
My “lab” is just a switch, nuc and unifi cloud key, and while they are warm in their closet, its not super hot.
I have a Kensington lock on the security camera box, but someone could theoretically yank that out of the wall.
The rest really isnt worth breaking in to steal.

All a kensington lock does is cause a bit of damage so a potential buyer can tell that the equipment was stolen.
A thief will likely want to steal or destroy the DVR, so make sure it’s well hidden or locked inside a proper safe.

I’m guessing they can rip the other end of the lock out of the wall tbh.
But realistically, theifs aren’t that sophisticated, they aren’t going to waste time trying to find and destroy the DVR, the will grab whatever valuables they can carry and pawn and leave as fast as possible.
The cameras are really just a deterant, they will move on to an easier house instead of risking it with mine.
