No security system is going to prevent someone from just kicking in your door and stealing your shit in 2 minutes, then leaving.

But it's great for insurance purposes and tracking down people after they leave. And if your door or window is opened during the middle of the night, an alarm system is going to be fantastic for alerting you to someone in your house.

WiFi security systems perform their function of deterrence, monitoring, and insurance claims just fine.
