Camaras, motion sensor security lights and signs are a good deterrent, you can buy security company signs and have warning signs made to order, cameras do not have to work you can buy dummy cameras cheap, place signs on your front door and gates. Security systems and working cameras are the next line of defense after securing windows and doors, many security companies will install signs, cameras and alarms for a reduced price or even for free with a monitoring contract.

Motion sensor security lights are not expensive, they will come on when someone walks near them, they even make ones with solar panels if you do not have electricity easily available. These will also help light up the outside of your residence at night if you go outside, they are timed and will turn off automatically. I have them on both sides of my house, the whole side lights up if anyone walks along the house at night.
