The area I want to move in is known for its heightened percent of home invasions and burglaries. So I don't know, maybe it is excessive. I just don't want my life savings to fall into the hands of a random burglar.

Why keep your savings at home? For anything critical I use a safe deposit box.

My bad for using bad figure of speech. Of course most of my savings won't even be physical (bank / cryptocurrency / investments etc.) -- I meant that I'll have all my possessions there (expensive computers, TVs, furniture, kitchen tech, what have you) and I would like to avoid having them stolen while I am grocery shopping in the nearest city, you know.

Is law enforcement in the area such that cameras would be a real deterrent?

No clue. But I am accepting another commenter's idea that having very visible cameras (on purpose!), solid fence and 1-3 guard dogs should be enough to deter 99% of the potential home invaders.
