Patrick could you please tell more about "skin the
inside of the windows with security film"

What is this and how effective ?
I have 40 panes of glass to one sash window
and i have 4 sash windows in the lounge alone.
I first thought that i may need to replace all my windows
with shatter proof windows which would very costly.
So looking for my options on that.

      Nasty situation, my sympathies!
     
      First thought regarding CCTV - where will the camera be sited? The
      image from 3 stories up is going to be small, and will probably film
      the top of peoples heads which is perhaps not terribly helpful in
      making an identification - a camera at street level is a really a
      must. Built in infra-red illumination for night time viewing is also
      unlikely to be effective over that distance - so may need to consider
      supplementary lighting. Generally B&W cameras work better in low
      light conditions than colour cameras.
     
      Perhaps more importantly, for your own safety, you should skin the
      inside of the windows with security film. A glaziers or security
      specialist such as Banhams should be able to provide further advice.
