Serious Campervan Security Upgrades

- Just how do I secure my campervan and keep it as safe as possible against intruders and theft?
I've used the Haloview CCTV system on 3 campers now and it's a great system to keep an eye on what's going on around your vehicle outside, coupled with a way to remotely view the Haloview screen it really does give you peace of mind.
Link to the Haloview kit here - amzn.to/3qiLI3R
I also grabbed a bargain from amazon in a set of 4 Blink Outdoor wireless cameras which you can find here - amzn.to/440aVh2
I then fitted the rear door additional security lock you can find here - amzn.to/459yViW
I showed the very secure steering wheel lock I use which you can find here - amzn.to/3s0I4vR

We didn’t know about the back door security that was pre-made, so we literally made our own. I love the Camaras.. they are on the list!! If you have a swivel seat when it facing backwards pop a decent padlock through the base this prevents them turning the seat. We use a motorcycle padlock. Thanks for your tips and videos John :)
Enjoyed this one! The security on my van is an assumption that nobody will want it cos it's 21yr old. I also lock my rear storage area and have recently invested in a cable and lock to chain my bags together, just in case someone tries a quick smash and grab.
Stop commenting here and get some videos out 😜
Haha - love how two of my favourite channels watch each other’s content 😊
Maybe I missed it. I've installed chains with hooks that fit onto the bottom of the seatbelt mount for the front doors. Very simple and basic, but SUPER effective!!
Good ideas.
Looks like that would work on American school bus doors too for Skoolie owners. I'll try it out.
Some great bits of advice. I agree, you can only work towards being more secure than other nearby vehicles
Thanks John for all the tips and info. Liking the halo view system👍👍👍👍👍
Nice one John. There are some good simple bits of kit for the slider too if you're a heavy sleeper, or if feeling vulnerable. 👋
Fantastic video on van security, thanks John,
Many Thanks John great pointers
Brilliant video pal 😊
Thanks John very helpful great vlog 👍
Love the rear door kit, making my list of stuff I will need when I get my van, love the detail, thanks😊
What van will it be? Already an idea 💡?
@@badboy1964nl yes have already found van, looking forward to getting it next month, small Nissan nv200 but enough for me😊
Hi John great video really interesting video really looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😊👍🏻
Thanks!
Excellent John, also seatbelt through the door handle click it in job done.
Saw a trucker do that on UA-cam.
Genius!
Thanks for another great video.
Nice backup CCTV, and only 8 WATTS per camera.
Can it see number plates in case of a RTA and drive off.
Those InfraRed lights do reflect off your van, can you stop the light hitting the van and still catch the bad guy.
I love watching "Automatrics MTrack" UA-cam channel on tracking stolen vehicles.
Take care and "Keep Em Peeled".
Great vid John (we're slowly catching up!) and we picked up the tip about the indicators not blinking if we inadvertently find ourselves at a d***ing site!!
John...
A thought.
When you mentioned "Van shaking like it's 50g dog"
That's "Dog" .... Not "Dogging"😉 ("If the vans-a-rocking....")
Hi John
I have installed a Swann Security DVR system That gives full cloud recording via my onboard wifi router. I have only fitted two cameras to date, one front, one rear. The cameras are fully rated for outdoor use but like you I will monitor this. The output from the DVR is wired to my TV so I can instantly "chang channel" to view my cameras. I can also access remote playback via the Swann app on my phone, this can by live streaming or prviously recordings. The only issue I thought of when fitting the system was the hard disc in the DVR getting a thrashing as we drive down our lovely smooth british roads (NOT) so I swapped the conventional hard disc for a 2Tb solid state disc as so far I have ad no issues with cameras or DVR. Current drain is 1.4 A ( without TV on ) so my system can handle that easily. Thanks for you tips ... I like the Solidfy lock.
Keep up the good work.
Dennis
Hi Dennis, I'm looking to do the same as you with a Swann CCTV system. Good shout about swapping to a solid state disc. What's the power draw like for the system?
The Solidfy rear door security lock is great isn’t it - makes you feel more comfortable when leaving the van and overnight. One of those great solutions which don’t cost a fortune and take an age to install.
Love your CCTV remote view mod 😀I’ve been installing CCTV (still have the front camera to add, another job on the to do list) but side and rear all done, went with wired as found a handy route and separate 12v DVR then attached to a small screen. The IR LEDs on the cameras at nights makes such a difference and brings out the detail doesn’t it.
I sometimes leave a rechargeable radio on so if anyone looking thinks it’s occupied.
Great tips as always.
Have a great week, all the best, David 👍
I used to park next to a Ford escort 😂 😂 how about a radio going , I also have a light which dimes and brightens,it’s 240 volt though , but looks like a tv is on , also got 2 Itags but iv taken the little speakers out thank you it was very interesting to me well done and good luck 👍👍👍🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦
nice one John. I use the blink system for my home and garage. and like you say, for the money you cant beat it. and i have fitted a tracker to my £22k motorbike..... so easy to steal motorbikes. still saving up for a van. catch you on the next one.
Another helpful video. Thanks John. When are ye heading to Ireland?!😀👍☘️
Thanks, great vlog
Glad you enjoyed it
I've got a diskloc and that lock for back door,but I also put my seat belt through the door handles,which is a good deterrent too,got a tracker aswell,I just try and slow them down,but if they want it,they will take it,I wud definitely recommend the diskloc tho,they ain't cheap tho,grt review John,keep it coming
Similar John, except i throw a curtain behind the front seats i have similar blinds and steering lock to john.
I prefer a potential thief to see the steering lock b4 they consider breaking in so i don’t normally close the drivers side blind.
Hi John Good job! What informational videos! I found you are using Haloview 4 camera systems MC7109, and the rear camera comes with the semi-bracket, but I didn't find the same one with yours on Amazon. Where did you get from?
Hari OM
That steering wheel lock is nifty... will have a look but suspect that the dimensions of wheel to window in the Transit might not work out... but it' pointed me to check out options! I have flanges already on the back doors of The Grey into which I hope to place a heavy-duty padlock for similar effect. Bit by bit! YAM xx
Anything to make it awkward for a potential thief is good, should encourage them to move on and try somewhere else. I too have Solidify, Disklok and pedal lock as physical deterrents backed by a kill switch. Yes its a bit of a pfaffe setting it all, but much better than losing the lot. Great vid on the cameras, looking for something similar, finances allowing!!
Fitted the Solidfy last year. Simple fix and only a few quid.
Hello John hope your doing ok buddy sorry I haven't commented for ages I just been going through a lot lately and messing with me mental health but I have been watching your vids and love them all as always and look folward to the next all the best take care
Good video
A good one I saw John was the drivers seat was swivelled and a hole drilled in the frame and a blood y great padlock put through try driving facing the wrong way LOL
The attempts are so costly too, broken window etc for eg an empty laptop case or something that looked valuable in view.
Completely closed down blinds they just need to repeatedly knock and ask for directions, takes minutes to establish that your away from the van.
The wheel lock can’t deter them if blinds are down, so the thief who was going to be deterred by it is now going to cost fortune in damage as they break in before seeing it.
It’s so infuriating to go to these lengths because of thieves!
Great informative video 👍
That’s where the cctv works as a good visual deterrent.
Hi John the link to the Camera system goes to an autovox one? Love these videos buddy, showing all the cool gizmos of van life.
Allow the link to take you to Amazon USA and it’ll show the correct product.
Btw.... Loved the Blue Peter Camera mount!!
(I've got my badge somewhere)
Anyone know if solidfy do a vauxhall vivaro lock, can't seem to find one online
Hi John great job on the van looks really good!! I clicked the Halo view link but it links to another cam can you check this please
I wonder if any of the camera systems have an output triggered by motion detection. That could be used to trigger a recording of conversation so it sounds like someone is in the van.
Do you have any recommendations for securing a garage (like your old MoHo). I get conflicting advice on what’s the best. I want to keep a moped a bit more secure than just the factory locks.
TIA
Mandy
As well as all the same stuff. I also have a bike disc lock fitted on drivers seat seat base when turned round so makes it difficult to drive if they try. My Solidfy i have a padlock on it instead of a pin when away from the vehicle and use pin when inside. i have a also drilled hole in the rail of sliding door for a padlock so can’t be opened easy when away from vehicle, and those chain things on the inside front doors. FYI John, Haloview link to amazon went to something else for me.
Good ideas, the halo view link is Amazon USA. Amazon tries to redirect you to the UK site.
@@GadgetJohn i tried to find the HaloView once before a while back when you did a vlog on them in the past but they seem hard to find. Did you buy via AMazon USA to then ship to UK?
I like my 2005, its so old its got no value to anyone wanting to steal it! and the immobiliser is so old it cant have new keys programmed you need to swap the module, but i like your rear door locking pin thing, to help keep carried valuables safer
Hi John, great video again. QQ - the link to the Halo you provided took me to an Autovox product on Amazon, not Haloview. Is this correct?
Allow the link to take you to Amazon USA and it’ll show the correct product.
I saw it first when David from leisurebit demo'd it, a great wee device .... sadly i cant get anywhere near mine because of rear top cupboards ... cant even get my hand in the gap 😢
You could fit them doors open and the get a 12v solenoid to engage the pin when needed.
Thanks john x
Out of interest have you monitored how much data all the cameras are using? Mine one camera uses quite a bit of data (more than I thought) which is a potential problem on some tarrifs.
Hi John nice to see you and Mandy have more security measures on your vans .are you going to fit that lock on to Mandys back door? ❤❤❤❤
Thats a bit personal isnt it?
How did you install your window blinds ? I would love to know.
They are shown in a video on here, just look back to the van build videos.
3:27 Can open the other door too?
I shall be buying that rear door lock straight away! Thanks John.
Great video, I’ve clicked on the link to purchase this setup and it takes me too a totally different setup not Haloview? Have you got the link again for the unit and the cameras you have used please? Thanks
It’s always worth reading the other comments, I’ve answered this multiple times. Ensure you choose the Amazon USA when you click the link.
LOL, I directly purchased Haloview camera on Haloview Official website due to I didn't find it on Amazon.
How about a recording of an angry Alsatian linked to the camera system?
Might be enough to suggest they might be better trying another van?
(Good "techie challenge" project?)
😂 make the van shake too like the dog is 50kg
@@GadgetJohn
Start with a "who dat?" single bark, escalating to "Rabies!"
Hi john hope your well. Been watching you for some time now… may I ask as I’m not a computer geek like yourself.. lol… them haloview cameras. Are they just Bluetooth?.. what I mean is the screen plugs into 12 V and the four cameras do they need power to them or they just work by Wi-Fi?.. I know this may be a silly question, but I am terrible with wiring.. I hope you get back to me.. keep on doing a good work. Xx
Each camera needs 12v but the video is wireless.
Ok thank you very much xx
What you think about this low tech one second fit
It’s great, fitted to both vans.
Nice hopefully it's not something you will ever have to use along with the golf club beside the bed😂
Sorry to be a pain again.. so it need 12 V permanently … or just when your using it …. .. as I thought it’s wi-Fi…. So need no wires. Xx
Big Hello to South Gare Redcar
Oddly, my brother has just had his campervan stolen today! 😢
Hi John,
I’ve currently got a PROUSER on the rear of my caravan which is wired via No 10 plug on my car and it has connectivity issues😞
Do your video with you Halo view option how is this wired? Is it blue tooth or Wifi from rear of my caravan to receiver screen on my dash - need you excellent advice on whether your system will fix my connection problem? - for safety reasons I like to actually see who is behind me even with my Milenco mirrors especially like you travelling by myself etc. Cheers Chris “The Aussie living in the the Netherlands “ 🇦🇺👍
Hi Chris,
I am using the Haloview 1080P camera system BT7, and the installation distance from my monitor to the rear camera is 40FT, the BT7 works perfectly, and I greatly love it. Powering supply to it by hardwiring the camera. Haloview camera couldn't connect to the wifi or Bluetooth, android phone and etc... It uses FHSS Private Agreement to work.
Safe to say no one is smashing John's back doors in tonight?
lol
