I've installed a few of those cameras as per customer instructions and none are happy with them. Picture quality is for the most part good but even a slight breeze and the cameras move all over the place. There is no rigidity with those mounts. I always have to go back and install the dome type cameras. The dome type cameras never move no matter how windy it is. Those cameras you have are going to move around like bobble heads when you're driving. I can see dome cameras in your future. Safe travels buddy.
As one who has been in the "security/CCTV" world for years you are SPOT on. Domes' are the only way to go in this situation. Hope he has better luck.
@IfYouDisagreeYouAreWrong I can't at the moment as there's hundreds of thousands of choices. As a general rule any lightweight (lighter/smaller the better) that is a dome and is rated "outdoor" would work. So far, I've not found what I'd like to see developed for RV or vehicle travel cameras. Something like a tear drop "marker" shaped camera. What I'm using now (because I'm stationary at the moment) is Eufy C2. The other reason that I don't see good cameras for RV's is that most RV owners, won't want to run wires. (Ultimately the best data transfer solution.) So a wireless system is necessary. So....my dream system would be cameras that were small, aero dynamic, and wireless and uses batteries as the 2C's use. The Eufy are great for stationary but I would probably be in the same pickle that I see here. However, he seems to make it work. Since this was commented on he may have changed to something different.
Those cameras are all powered by 12v DC......you could run one wire from 12v DC on your vehicle and power several cameras. Like one power wire to the front and have it power 4 cameras and one wire to the back for the other 4 cameras. Alternately, you could run network cable to one local hub in the back and one in the front and do PoE. Would clean up those wall warts.
That's a really great idea. I know that if and when I build an RV (stealth van RV is what I'm thinking currently), I would definitely want as many things to be DC powered as possible. In Eric's case, however, he has WAY more power than he needs with his solar system and lithium battery bank, so he's probably not too worried about the wasted power of using AC plugs.
@@ABQSentinel I am thinking in terms of getting rid of all those switching power supplies......he could daisy chain the four front cameras and the 4 back cameras....he would eliminate the power strips and all those wall warts.....while it would save power, I was thinking more in terms of a cleaner install
@@mdrew44628 Yeah, I understand. I have previously considered the viability of creating an RV power system that was completely DC. Everything from computers to TVs and monitors could be run off of a DC system with only minor modifications. About the only thing you would need to run on AC power would be an air conditioning and/or microwave oven unit. Although I'm sure if you look hard enough, you could find one that runs on DC, but it's better to be able to use standard AC appliances that can be quickly, easily, and inexpensively replaced on the road. But for that, you could just run a small generator as needed.
@@ABQSentinel I agree with you about the appliances.....some of the ones that run on low voltage DC are very expensive and with the efficiency of today's inverters, just aren't worth the investment......but if I was building or renovating, I would probably do 80% 12 or 24 volts DC.
@@mdrew44628 Yeah, that's the other thing... 12VDC or 24VDC. Higher voltage is generally more efficient, but then again, most of the stuff you would be running is already pretty low voltage. As for DC appliances, the other thing that would concern me is that low voltage means you need higher amperage. 1600 watts requires 15 amps at 110 volts, but for a DC appliance, 1600 watts would require in excess of 130 amps at 12 volts. That's going to produce a lot of wasted power in the form of heat.
Pls seal those holes with some silicon or expanding foam. Thanks for the awesome video!
GamerCISCO I second this, even with the weep hole on the camera base water will find its way inside the RV over time, I would of used a circular gasket or non porous foam gasket
Eric, you are misunderstanding the purpose of the weep hole, use silicone! Going 70 mph down the road, rain will blow up into the weep hole and into your wall.
@@marcleukhardt9645 I was watching this on the treadmill yesterday thinking the EXACT SAME THING but had no way to comment! lol Those cameras were designed for a building, not a vehicle driving down the road in the rain. They need to be sealed completely.
I have 4 x Falcon Dash Cams installed in windows as my security system on my RV, bought them off Amazon 4 years ago and they all still work perfectly. They are suction cupped to the windows, ive had them fall off previously, so to fix that i just put a few drops of super glue on glass before suctioning it on and never had them fall afterwards, but can be taken off with a little tug. I have 1 in front windshield, 1 in rear window in bedroom, 1 in left slide window and last one on right side in kitchen window. The wide lens allow them to cover majority of outside pretty well. It was $150 for the 4 dash cameras and $50 for the 4 class 10 SD cards.
That NVR and the cameras are powered by 12 volt dc, you could run them from fused connection to the batteries and not through the inverter. On your hotspot and extender you can change them to not broadcast your SSID, you will still be able to connect to them but no one else can see them. I have had a camera system in my travel trailer for years, but mine are hard wire so no one can scramble the camera signals.
Second the suggestion to disable the station ID (SSID) in any wireless access point -- it's there but not broadcasted.
hiding the SSID is indeed safer, but the tradeoff is in potential functionality given many chipsets and/or softwares dont play well with a hidden SSID (not a fault of the 802.x protocol, but of the device firmware programmers). Seen it too many times - even if it works there is no guarantee it will work when something bounces (powers on/off) or creates unexpected failure scenarios. It's arguably just as safe to leave the SSID visible but secure the signal with encryption (preferably WPA2 these days).
Your knowledge about electronics is amazing. Such a great idea to protect yourself and your RV. You are brave though, I’d be freaking out about having to drill holes in a new vehicle. They do look really good, like they were always there.
I couldn't agree with you more.
He is very knowledgeable, and brave. I would have taken hours, just wasted collecting the courage to start drilling the holes.
There’s got to be a way to use VHB tape instead.
U still need to caulk the top of those cameras, a half Moon, leaving that weep hole open. Unless there is gasket under that base. If water gets in u have a open hole to the inside where water can start delaminating the fiberglass from the luan.
let him learn the hard way
@@gruponemesis why King why?
@@HerSoulVacation you are right
Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Jonah Justus Instablaster :)
I'm a very old guy who remembers when RV life was a lot simpler and Much Less expensive. It's a different world. Congratulations on doing what it takes to enjoy it.
Camera's look great Eric, something to note. That's not a drain slot, that's for surface mounting the cameras with out drilling a whole for the wires. You're going to want to put a little sealant around the top half to stop water from getting into the walls or pull the camera and put it behind them.
BNC's are the connectors. The wire is 75 ohm coax cable.
In his case they would be Ethernet cables. His old system was analog and used coax.
You just keep getting better and better with RV information that we all can use. I am truly impressed (takes a lot to impress me in RV videos)! I find myself saving a lot of your videos that I can utilize for my own. Thanks Eric!
I'm sure I've said this once or twice before, but no one could ever call you lazy. You sure love your projects. Nice work, Eric.
ON your TV outlet, you can remove the outlet and either replace it and it will work or remove the 12V "Mine was purple" wire. Once you do that you will have power at that outlet all the time.
Eric I’m just impressed that you’re constantly improving Miranda and showing us how things are done! Great video!
I love how you keep yourself busy improving your RV.
Make sure you put some kind of paint or silicone sealant on the bolts that attach the camera to the articulated arm, they will rust, and stain your paint.
Also, be cool to mount a cheap tablet on your dash somewhere, and use it for blind spots while your driving.
ya for SURE make sure you put in LOCTITE on those antennas. I have cameras like that and I'm not in a mobile install and they come loose all the time.
Eric you should put sealant into the screw holes or dab it over the heads. Also run a bead of sealant alkng the top of the camera base. Moisture will get in and dry rot the wood the screws are in. I have had it happen .
Yep . some where around 2 / 3 down side each side leaving the bottom open to drain an air.. Yep,Yep,Yep,
Thanks for the upload. Had a shitty morning but your videos always cheer me up!
Did you have to poop a lot?
Got to be honest Eric....
I've been following your adventures for couole of years now. I do love the interesting places you travel to, but the main reason why I started to follow you, as other youtubers, was becase of videos like this!.. Great video.
Safe travels my friend.
I'll second Hector's opinion. I do enjoy all the quirky places you find, but I'm fascinated by the DIY / tech videos you post of troubleshooting/problem solving. It's REAL RV Life on the road.
you can skip the adapters, you can couple it direct to your 12v system.
Most likely going to help him with this.
Exactly. We connected ours directly to 12v and it saves energy while off grid as we don’t have to run the inverter.
Wow, thank you so much for the tidbit on the wifi booster. My wife works from home and if we lose signal she has to go to the office because they require a wired connection. With that she can just use her phone wifi hotspot and get back to work.
That TV outlet that doesn’t work with the engine running has a third wire that can be clipped to disable that “safety” feature.
Excellent install video! I did get several takeaway tips from your project that I can use when my system goes in. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work, Eric. Thanks for showing us how it’s done.
Happy Camping
Thanks for figuring out that mifi booster thing for hooking up security camera's. It took me a while, until I watched this video.
Happy birthday Eric, I hope you have a great day. Share the love with Jax
as a radio guy....try to get "all" of your antenna's vertical....It will work better! Good luck!
Eric, just so you know, if you ever need the plug up front to be hot all of the time there will be a fuse somewhere, probably with the chassis fuses that you can remove and it will stay hot even with the key on. Safe travels
Nice looking security system! We still use the night owl on our RV but I love the wireless technology. As you said, not having to run the cables all through the RV is a lot better. I will definitely look into a wireless system if we upgrade in the future. Good video and thanks for sharing.
Happy birthday Eric your system looks excellent now you'll feel secure and be able to enjoy the cameras views it's all coming together really awesome glad to see Jax's feeling a little better happy birthday do a little dancing Get Down Tonight It's Your Birthday get busy
You should have looked into PoE network cameras, Cat5 is easy to run. Those cams look klunky as hell
Happy Birthday, Eric. Hugs and belly rubs to our favorite UA-cam cat Jax.
Eric, if you see this, make a separate channel for Jax :)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of camera angles as well as install info. I will be using that this to CMA for sure.
Gonna get me a security system for my birthday, too... months from now. Thanks for the install tips.
Amazingly clever. Thanks for sharing this idea. Impressive that you’re able to do all this yourself! Super. Probably will lower your rig insurance, too. Hi, Jax! 😻
The antennas are a good deterrent. Brings attention to the cameras which gives the security system a double duty.
Nicely done Eric. By the way, those are IP Cameras. They don't use BNC cables/connectors. They use ethernet RJ45 connections. If your NVR recorder box has built-in POE ports, you can wire the cameras directly and don't need to use the power adapters for the cameras. Also, you can buy a 5amp 12vdc power adapter to power four or five cameras at the same time. This way you don't need all those separate power supplies.
I may be wrong, but generaly all these security devices are feed by 12v DC, there is no need to use all these adapters.
I still would not directly feed from the 12V electrical itself. I would use a buck converter (Drok makes some good ones). It will maintain the output voltage and amperage consistently as the input voltage varies with engine on and off (12V ~ 14.4V) & brown outs (like starting the engine).
@Yar Nunya electronics are so sensitive these days so I would at least usr some kind of inductor coil to avoid voltage spikes like when kicking on the ac or microwave
Say what? Loctite on lug nuts? That's crazy talk. Also they are not BNC wires, it is coax cable. The connectors are BNC, but that has nothing to do with the wires...
The way the cameras are mounted on the side of the Rv its going to create drag. Wondering how well those cameras will hold up to the pressure while at speed. Also, when driving in rain/snow/heavy rain etc will the forward facing cameras in the wind stay dry? By the way nice work around for network connections. Learned something...thanks. Those booster are not expensive at all.
Amazing - looking forward to your feedback after traveling with this system ! I hope Jax is feeling better, you didn't say what you 'think' his problem was.
Thank you so much Eric for all you show us in making my decision to go rving fulltime!
Nice Installation Eric. I'm sure you will finish the inside just as nice as the cabinets. Have watched you for a long time and will continue along your travels. Also loved the Big Tv Install video. Ray in Boise
i installed mine on the inside of my RV pointing out of the windows and they cover the complete outside and 2 on the inside so when I'm laying down in the back I can see what is going on in the front and all around me...
They work that way? I tested a couple of field cameras via my windows, but the glare of glass prevented any footage. Just wondering...
It really looks like you had fun with this project and that is always good when a project is fun! I actually don't think the antennas look bad at all and in some ways are a bit of extra detergent if just from a security standpoint. The data they have collected shows that that security systems that 'bad guys' identify as wireless are often avoided as they know its not an easy 'off' to just pull or cut wires. Of course with yours they would have no way to know that they are wires for power so its less likely they are to go after a system that they don't think they can easily disable. The antenna are also obviously part of the system and so look like they should be there and so are not obnoxious looking.
Nice security system Eric. Now Miranda is a security monster as well! Call to see how that system works. Safe travels. Thank you!👍🏼🤘🏼😎
I've had cameras on my 37 foot 5th wheel since 08. Just used them in the upper right and left side of the 5th wheel and one on the back for driving and being able to see if I had room to change lanes, and when backing into campsites. These systems weren't available back then. I mounted a clip-on rearview mirror that is also a monitor for the rear camera. And mounted two 5 inch monitors on either side of my steering wheel to see if I had room to change lanes. Now I don't have to even turn my head away from what's going on in front of me to change lanes.
congrats on new cameras, id still be untangling myself from all the wires a week later!
I use a MarCELL device to monitor temp, power status and humidity in the RV. It used 3G so you can check it while out an about, also can send you alerts when things reach your set thresholds. I actually have mine call me when power goes out to the rig since my dogs are in it. Great video!
Happy Birthday Eric! Looks like a decent video setup. I hope it meets your expectations and I hope Jax is feeling better. Safe travels my friend.
Happy Birthday Eric! I hope Jax Man is feeling better! Another great video brother!
This is a cool idea. I have an Airstream though, so the drilling is something I would have to work on and alternative solution for.
Happy Birthday Eric! Great video on security. 👍👍👍
Eric, Why don't you set up an Amazon affiliate page/links so if people buy the stuff you talk about you get a small %?
IT major here, Great system! I just don't know how well the wireless would hold up, Because the cameras are more than likely using the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. Same Frequency WiFi uses. 8 camera at 1080p each would definitely put some traffic on that Frequency. It may affect speeds on your AT&T hotspot. It also may get worse if you're in heavily populated area with everyone around you watching streaming services causing heavy traffic on the 2.4 Ghz band. I wouldn't surprise me if a few of the cameras would drop a connection here and there due to that. This is another reason why wireless cameras get a bad rap. If push came to shove, you could hardwired Ethernet them to the DVR to prevent any interference.
I'm sorry to sound negative, just expressing my concerns. Feel free to let me know if you need any help!
The cameras appear to be using a variable bitrate, which you can see towards the end of the video in the top left hand corner on his phone. I never understand why people use bandaid solutions by using the Netgear Extender with their hotspot, when AT&T, Peplink, Cradlepoint, and many others make routers designed for RVs and mobile environments, WITH Ethernet ports. As long as nothing was messed with on the Hotspot or Netgear device, they should automatically pick the best channel (non-overlapping). But for the layman, they wouldn’t have the slightest clue what that setting does.
No. The cameras are constant frame rate recorded to the HD and on viewer. It's just the transfer over the internet to my phone that skips frames to keep live video in tact.
That was a very informative video explaining CCTV systems.Hope you and Jax are well.
Hi Eric. I have said it before; you do good work. Your 5-star surveillance system is very stinking cool.
So, Happy Birthday Eric! Thanks for all you give us and share with us, and all the best from the UK for your future. Have a great day!
Nice video. I learn a lot from watching. You seem very knowledgeable about everything.
OMG why are those holes so big for the wiring? I would think that it would be an easy task to undo whatever kills the power to the TV plug in the front. BTW very cool thanks for sharing
I scrolled through looking to see if anyone else felt the same. Those holes are wayyyyy too big.
@@Ilovealtoids I actually thought he said all I have to do is drill some 1/2 " holes.
Something to consider re the slide. Take it to a good welding shop. Ask if they could put a new piece of the gear track ( weld ) just where it's worn out. While still on the MH. I'm not a professional welder but i am certain it could be done. I would do it on mine.
A simple travel router for less than 20 bucks will also have the wired connection you need.
Router is a great idea and give you more options for security.
Hey Eric, you should swap that HDD to an SSD (or a few hooked up from a separate enclosure). Even shock-resistant HDDs are not going to last very long in a bumpy RV, they can literally shatter from a small speed bump if they happen to be spinning at that time.
PoE dome cams? more expensive... but i feel aerodynamically, dome makes more sense? great vid tho as usual! glad to see you upping your situational awareness!
Can you imagine the damage one of those would cause if they get caught on a tree or something as he is driving? It will shred that fiberglass thin wall.
Joshua C that’s just going to be a big ol mess, and more holes in that nice class a.....
That hole on the base is for routing the wire out if your not mounting it over the hole in the wall, not for moisture release. You find that driving down the road in the rain will push water right into those holes.
Out of all the RV cameras Systems that I've seen on You Tube Your system looks The best I hope it really works out Because I'm gonna copycat it when I get my RV . Stay safe stay strong stay healthy 👍☮🎅🤙🚍🚌
I forgot!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Eric, you may not be an "expert", but you're a man of many talents. You never shy away from tackling the issue when problems come up. But, you are also sensible enough to know when a task is beyond your scope. Well done! Sending you sincere Happy Birthday wishes!! (:
I enjoyed watching the process and seeing the changes you made. Its got to be fun fixing up your own space the way you want it.
Strong security is NON-NEGOTIABLE!
Just like 2-A! ;O)
CHEERS!
Looks like a great set-up, and done like a pro! I'm going to be laughing about that name all day for sure!! Good eye brother!
Aiya, I wouldn’t get these cameras if I were you. I would get POE dome cameras. Power over ethernet cameras give you less wiring and do not have antennas sticking out. POE dome cameras look better. Also, a hole on a camera base is for wire going out. If you don’t need wire to go out, then seal it. Imagine you drive 60 mph, and keep hitting those holes.
Hi Eric!
I hope Jax is feeling better. I just had to send my faithful American Bobtail companion, Nicholas, to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday after 14 terrific years. The hardest part of pet ownership.
Cheers, beers and belly rubs!
Sorry about Nicholas. I can't imagine your sadness. Take care.
@@lucyarmstrong1075 Thank you, Lucy. :0)
Great work! I always wondered how those types of wireless cameras worked, especially being able to view them from your phone.
Cool set up! Thanks for sharing. Also How is Jax feeling? Happy birthday also!!!
I would epoxy the inside of the curt surface to prevent water infiltration between the layers, much like you'd do on a boat. But nice install - looks nice and tidy.
I was thinking Hi see u was pretty funny as well. I wish linking all that together came as easy to me as terrible puns. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks so much for the info! I’m going to look into getting a hotspot booster myself. My husband and I really enjoy the videos. Informative and entertaining! We’ll be waiting for ur next video adventure. Oh.....Hope Jax is feeling better!
Where is our Vid of Jax's happy and healthy !!! Were all still waiting !!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Eric!!! 🎉🎂🎁
Eric, even though there are a drain holes in the mounting plate of the camera. You should still put a bead of silicone around each hole you drilled. I noticed you made the holes pretty big, you might want to consider getting a silicone gasket to place behind each camera to help make it better sealed from water and air. Good luck with the project. Happy Birthday!! Also hope Jax is feeling better.
Nice setup. That would be a must for me if I was a full time traveler!
Happy Birthday Eric! Hope Jax is feeling better. Love your security system and the name is cool for sure. My dad's birthday was today too. Safe travels to you and Jax.
🙂👍
Your turning your rv into a mobile Fort Knox nice👍🏻😁
Great install! Although, I'd seal the top half of the camera mounts.
Eric, how is Jax feeling now...he was sick in your previous video.
Note: Chances are that the cameras don't need 110V, the wall warts are probably 12V, could run the cams right off the battery/solar... The other thing to think of is that the wireless is no boundries, so there are opportunities for others to see the internal cameras... And with the QRCode in the video, I may be able to see your NVR, have not tried.
Wow! PEEPING_TOMS; it is ~~ a deviant, STALKING, CRIME~~~in my younger days, __we'd jail you. & Selfies is a weird-peeping -tom ploy! Up the skirt pop! Just another_ 2020-WHAT_EVER, generation, RULES game/on!!!!!! Baby/cam/invasions.
MIND BLOWN!!! I need this system!!! I LOVE the thermometer idea❤️
Thanks for sharing your camera 📷 work, be safe, love ya & Jax
8:36 The "hole at the bottom" is to run the wire from behind the camera mount to surface mount the wire from the camera to a structure. That "hole" is not there to weep water, it is a cable pass through.
Happy Birthday Eric! Today is my Birthday as well! (50) for me.
Happy birthday
Happy birthday Eric on your special day and how's Jax doing, I hope better.🐈
I have some thoughts about putting silicone around your cameras . Put silicone around the top and the sides but leave the bottom open. The idea is to keep water from getting in but don't stop it from getting out if some does get in that's why you leave onpening on bottom just a thought
Very cool Eric 👍 I like how you take security seriously 👍 Hope JaxMan is feeling better and God bless ✌️
we also need a JAX CAM with a small one strapped on his collar
If the wall wants are stepping down to 12v you might be able to run them from the battery or through a regulated 12v supply off the battery
So sick!!! Got to have those cameras, very impressed
Very cool install! Jack of all trades...
Happy 😊 anniversary of your birth I wish you continued health, happiness and prosperity! Give Jax a hug from this Cajun follower.
Won't the wind throw off the direction that you set the cameras to?🤔
