Door Devil is a must.

A deadbolt into a wood frame makes the wood at the point extremely thin.

Next I like 3M window security film.

Here's a video of it in action.

You can get cheap security film off Amazon. But I personally tested what's sold from China, and the cheaper American made stuff. And I'm telling you, find a retailer, and spend the money on the 3M.

Battery operated cameras are also good. I like Arlo wireless cameras. No drilling or wires. And while yes, you have to use their cloud for storage, there's scripts you can either write yourself or download online, which will log in, download your videos local and delete them from the cloud every 24 hours, or 1 hour. Whatever you want.

If you set them to motion detection the batteries last around 6 months.

Sorry this happened to you. We installed Door Devil's for some peace of mind. Makes kicking in the door about 1000x harder

So one thing to keep in mind is that the weak point of a door lock is actually the door jamb. When someone kicks in the the door, they usually don't break the door, they break the strike plate out of the door jamb. The deadbolt is then blasted out of the strike plate.

I am not a locksmith nor have I used this specific product. But after looking at it and the install video, I am not sure how this lock will prevent a break-in via kicking in the door. This lock is secured into the door jamb and therefore it is only as strong as the door jamb. It uses 3 inch screws into the jamb so that is better than normal, but if the jamb is made out of cheaper wood, the screws will probably blast out of the jamb if kicked in repeatedly.

If you wanted to go the cheapest route to increase your door security, reinforcing your door jamb is probably the way to go. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Door-Devil-Home-Doorframe-Reinforcement/dp/B00ZGUMLZQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1478113478&sr=1-1&keywords=door+devil

The advantage of Haven Mech is that it is secured into floor. So it uses the strength of the foundation to secure the door. It also has been designed from scratch to take dozens of kicks. What we found in our R&D is that a lock that doesn't have any give will fail quickly. Our original design was a steel bottom and steel top. It had no give, and it failed after about 10 kicks. Once we redesigned the lock out of hard plastic and the insides were woven nylon, the lock gives and bends a bit every time someone kicks it. That give allows for the door to take kick and kick without major damage.
