Exterior lighting is generally the most cost effective deterrant to having
criminals approach a building at night unless the building is in a remote
location no potential witnesses).

Many of the cheap surveillance/security cameras (including models with IR
light sources) won't get good enough identity details for evidence
(especially if the lighting is poor), good quality cameras and recording
equipment will capture much clearer images.

Padlocks are one of the least secure mechanisms, as it's been pointed out
that they're fairly easily compromised.
Modifying padlocked entrances/access by adding sturdy internal flush-mounted
bolt-type locking mechanisms would enhance the level of security.

Security in most instances is only the level of complexity required to be
defeated or bypassed.

Metal buildings are easy pickings for someone with a screw gun. Just
unscrew the metal sheets and enter. A good motion detection system and
plenty of lights going on and an alarm bell ringing will usually make the
crooks run away. Cameras will possibly get some identification on the
crooks so they can be arrested.
