Alarm system

[sgoharley]

Anyone ever put an alarm in the house side of their RV. Looking to alarm side door and motion sensor etc. that seems to be beyond a normal car alarm
Ideas?

Lots of folks use alarms. Tons of choices depending on your needs and certain power requirements. In-use is easy. In storage not so easy.

It is nice to be able to check on the ruler of the known universe when you are out exploring.

Duck......I see you’ve changed the interior colour scheme of your rig. Kinda black/white/grey theme going on their. Kinda different. Nice.

If you use infra-red you cannot see the vinyl floor that turned red.

Simply safe had a major sale before Christmas.

We bought a basic unit for $170.

Gave it to my son as a gift. He did not want it. We are going to put it in the fifth wheel.

I have power and wifi where I store my class c so putting a drop cam in tomorrow. Not perfect but gives piece of mind

If you want cameras or an alarm, you are probably going to need a hot spot added to the rig and a place to store it with power hooked up. We are lucky that I have covered storage with power. I have been thinking of the cheap Ring alarm and not paying for the monitoring. That way I can monitor the use from the app. Otherwise I was going to add the Arlo camera since they a magnetic mount and then add a couple inside. Again, no monitoring just so I can view on the app. The Hotspot will only get data usage when checking in or if a camera that is set detects motion.

I put a drop cam in my rv and it works fine. Lets me know if it hears or sees anything

We use a Ring camera to watch temperatures and humidity. The entry door is at the left of the refrigerator so it notifies us if anyone enters.
It has two way talk.
Occasionally it sends motion notifications if there is a sudden change in lighting but otherwise works well.
We're parked at home and it's connected to home wi-fi via an extender.
On the road we connect to a hotspot when we go off someplace in the car.
