Depends a bit on your layout. If your driveway is the only access then you can do something with a gate. But you do have to leave easy access for emergencies (no special knowledge or tools to open it).
Mine was just broken into a few weeks ago and my simple home alarm with a loud horn kept their visit short. They didn't really get anything, left some really obviously valuable stuff too so I think it scared them off.
I'm adding cameras now. That was the number one thing the RC's told me. Camera's in obvious locations keep people out. I had noticed foot prints around the house a few days before the break in. So I think they may have been looking for cameras and alarms.
