Looking for some viable suggestions to up the security in an apartment

I am moving next month and was able to obtain crime statistics from the area (I work in law enforcement). I own 1 handgun (Swith and Wesson 9mm) The complex is away from a metropolitan area. The apartment I chose is a second floor unit with 2 functional security doors in front and back (Key only, no buzzing people in). There is no balcony. The walls and floor are steel reinforced concrete to reduce noise and the potential for fire to spread.

What i'm looking at is possibly something to reinforce the door to the actual apartment. A peephole camera that takes a photo when it detects movement. An inexpensive alarm if the door is breached (I dont need monitoring, just something to wake me if I'm in the apartment)

Any and all ideas are welcomed and appreciated.
