How to Monitor a Parked Truck Camper Remotely

[Sped1]

So I’m sitting at a baseball game in Miami and my truck camper is parked about a half a mile away in a neighborhood. I wish there was a way that I had a little camera that I could sort of keep an eye on it somehow. Has anybody ever heard of anything like that?

What angle with the camera shoot from?

I feel like if I knew everything was OK I could relax a little bit more…….

We like to keep an eye on our kitty in the RV when we're out running around for an extended period. I set up a few Blink camera and we can check in on her with their app on our phones.

The correct way is to call 9-1-1 whenever you see such a crime in action.

I am a retired police dispatcher.
If it's on a "Security" type camera I'd first hit Record
Then I'd call ye old office (9-1-1)
And when Detectives showed up hand them a thumb drive
(Hopefully the uniforms get there in time to witness he crime in progress)

In some cases I might take direct action AFTER calling 9-1-1
But that would involve major threat to person. not property.

9MM then call 811. One must call for utility locates before digging a hole.

(BTW: turn off recording first, ya know no video, it didn't happen.)

There are security cameras with cell phone options in areas with no internet.

Point of my comment is that anymore the only thing a camera will accomplish is to establish when something happened and what to list on the insurance claim. The police aren't coming for property crimes. You just get a first person view of an activity you can do nothing about.

Good point and oh by the way at least two cameras that record (Preferbally to a cloud server) which can see each other.

Story on here years back. Kid broke into a Rig with such a camera.. Full face shot as he moved the camera. HE did not take it, But it was a very good picture...

Knock, Knock. Come with us please.. Click Click and off to jail he went.

If you see smoke you can call the fire dept. Might not be in time to save your RV but maybe the whole campground.

Yes, nothing much you can do during something like a robbery, but it's after the event where security cameras are often a significant, if not the most significant tool to find the perps.

I think for most folks they would be better arriving at the scene of a crime after it occurred as opposed to being there during given how things could get ugly.

I have a wolfbox rearview mirror. It can continuously record 30 sec loop, but if there is a jarring, car bumped or door open close sort of thing it does a keep. There is a forward facing camera on the irror and a rear camera with a pretty wide view. The next model up has a third cam you can put on front bumper or really anywhere. Mine is the 840Pro, the 900Pro is the 3 cam version. It will record but not alert you.

There is an option for wifi, but never investigated, ythat might be able to trigger something via cell? Not sure.
