I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

I'll add strong motion-activated lights outside.

However, under certain circumstances they cut electricity to your property before raiding.

A random idea, if the threat is really expected, would be to setup strong hooks in the walls, and attach criss-cross fishing lines or similar to buy time. It shouldn't be lethal or cause serious injury unless the intruders get really unlucky. But they're probably gonna be more pissed regardless.
