This is incredible thanks man, exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciate your researching this!
Another layer of protection is a gps tracker like YoGPS. It notifies you if the vehicle moves and tracks it in real time sending you notifications.
Little, old, disabled lady, traveling alone....Thank you.

Super sick product! Love how easy, inexpensive and user friendly every aspect is!
Hello, I have the both the Blink and Arlo security system. Each has its pros and cons. Blink was easy to install (I mean real easy, even instructed my sister to install over the phone). Battery is easy to replace but they take a special battery from Energizer - ultimate lithium. Expensive but they do last a long time. When they loose connection with the internet, mine do take awhile to connect back. Biggest con for me is that you can view only one camera at a time. The Arlo you can view all cameras simultaneously. This makes it easier to view where the problem is. Turning on the cameras for a live view takes a time - Blink one at a time vs Arlo all cameras simultaneously. Arlo was harder to set up. Once set up they work fine. Arlo has rechargeable batteries but they need to be recharged 2-3 times a year depending on activity. I love them both for different reasons. I also would have selected Blink due to the installation. I just wish it reacted quicker and could view all cameras simultaneously. Thank you for the video!
I don't have feedback on security systems, but I love your channel. You do quality work. (I learned a lot from you when building our own van.) You are informative and easy to follow. You move a long quickly-- no endless gabbing. I only wish you did more videos. PS -- Now I'm leery about visiting CA.
Interesting option. I'd position a camera to cover each side of the van so that I could see around when all the window covers are in place. I watched a video from a female vanlifer describing some of her security, including this.
I'd also research a GPS tracking system.
Campervibe had a gadget installed that manually locks the shift transmission on their van.
Aaaah, I don't remember that video of Campervibe's. I'm going to have to go back, find it & watch it. That's a 'Fantabulous" idea !
get a wheel lock that you lock urself!
Glad to see you still making videos about your van
Boy, I've been watching quite a few of this guy's vids. Talk about the Taj Mahal of van builds. I admire the dedication and attention to detail$.
Thank you!! I’m definitely going to try this in my van. Love all of your content!
I concur with you on this Blink system. It works great, just like you said. I surprised my gardener when I spoke to him as he passed my camera attached to my van. He thought it was a ghost.
WOW!! INCREDIBLEY helpful video! Can't wait to rig up my van with this setup. Love all the creative mounting techniques you shared!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for the video. I have decided to install a 5 camera system onn my storyteller overland mode 4x4 van with the doorbell as well because of your detailed description of how to use it. Thank you, Thank you ...THANK YOU!!!
Looks like a brilliant and cost effective product 👌
Cheers for this.
Always on point... I went with blink in my build but didn't realize about the base - I have three dedicated cameras all connected to the vans Nighthawk 5g router..... great more pieces to buy - Tx SevenO..... ;) ... more content - add in some RC Stuff !!
My brother uses Blink Camera system at his place of business and loves them. The camera has a microphone and speaker in them and he uses them to keep the Unwants out. They do also give him alerts if they detect motion. You do need internet systems and
Always use lithium batteries. Great product
Great video. I was looking for something, but I had no idea what? Bot now, your Blink system looks like my answer. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks big time for the review and ultimate how you installed your Blink System, I am all about Blink for homes and now will role them out to our new Roadtrek Play camper van.
It pleases me that I could make your day, that wasn't the reason, but it was a nice one, I just was concerned with your health because adults do that when your kid don't keep in touch, maybe selfish but I became attracted to you and your psyche by watching you videos and enjoyed your teachings. Your quite the swav-a and deboner way of teaching, your also EYE CANDY. Just happy your safe and alive. You are a special person and you make me proud that I know you. Lots of love. Afriend.
I’m going to look into adding something like this to my van. I’m in Florida but the van gets a lot of attention everywhere we go.. and it’s always positive attention from curious people, but I’d rather be safe and have some deterrents in place besides the alarm and other security features I have
I used this Blink camera system for my business with business WIFI, as well as my for Cargo Van (with Verizon 5G Internet). They are work well, last long and simple to setup.
This is awesome! I feel like this is the one mod on your channel I could actually do😂
Love blink cameras. Use them at the house. Doorbells, flood light, doggie door and dog’s room.
Good informative video.
Ordered my blink system after watching your video on Amazon Black Friday sale.
Not tech savvy so your video helped.
Keep up the good work
Awesome video! We're looking at the Wyze cameras. One thing I didn't see in this video (maybe I missed it, I am working while watching) was the amount of data being used and how that could impact your data caps for van lifers using hot spots for internet.
I know for Wyze if you are live streaming it will use 4-7MB per min for HD or 1-2MB for standard definition video. They also will send 12s clips of video to the cloud if motion is detected with the detection feature enabled. Each clip would be roughly 800KB - 1.4MB for HD and 200KB - 400KB for SD. Since most van lifers use a data plan for internet this may add up to a large portion of internet use. Something to definitely look into!
Also, I would be scared that a thief would attempt to break in, notice the camera right at the door and just take the low hanging fruit and leave xD hopefully that doesn't happen!
This was an excellent explanation. Haven’t seen one more informative and to the point.
Pretty awesome. I may need to get a system now for our van… thanks for sharing
NICE Product Review. You did the research for me and now I need to place this on my Things to Do List for the New Year😎👍👍⬆️‼️
Thanks for sharing! I will try at home. Like the new solar mount.
Thanks for the info. I’ll give it a try.
I am still waiting on my van build. We have Eufy for the home. So I purchased 4 Eufy Solo cam E40 cameras and 4 strong magnetic mounts (from Amazon) for them. I also purchased some black silicone covers for the cameras so that they will be stealth. I also have Starlink RV. I plan on just using the cameras and Starlink when parked. Hopefully I can mount them high enough so that they will be somewhat stealth and harder to cover or steal.
Wow what great information thank you! Just what I needed!
Thank you, Cindy 👋
Sounds great. I need a security system. My problem is the requirement that the van have a WIFI connection. How do I do that? I don't have Starlink (yet).
I purchased the blink system as well, affordable and easy to setup was the deciding factor or me as well.
As Always, Luv your vid and expertise. My “base plan” was the use of a ‘pain generator’ in the cockpit area. High decibel siren mounted in headliner that would be activated by motion, door opening, or glass breakage.
I have extra ‘back-up’ cameras for exterior, from trial and error purchases, that are adequate for exterior ‘surveillance’.
The challenge for Both of the above is control ‘modules’, that I have yet to understand/find to implement my ‘system’. Your concept in this video is outstanding in that it covers all of it with the exception of my ‘pain generator’ (which I really want … punish n’er do wells with some hearing loss [permanently]).
The Only concern that I have with the blink is sourcing Inexpensive Wi-Fi with near-excellent location coverage … I know, not asking for much 😒
If any of your smart subscribers have thoughts on my ‘base plan’, I’d love to hear it. If I am unable to button that plan up with the controllers, I will Definitely be going Blink 👍🏼. I would just like to (Try) using what I have …
This was exactly what I was looking for thank you so much for this information😊BTW I had to subscribe to your channel again just so you know! Thanks again ☮️
Thanks for doing the research. I appreciate the work. I’m an Flight Attendant that lives out of a sprinter.
I use the same cameras. They do what you need them too do. Not very expensive if they get taken and they will notify you while it’s happening so you can potentially stop it. Best value by far.
Do you notice any issues with the Wi-Fi connection from inside the van? I'm worried that it will act like a Faraday cage and not have a good connection
Great video! I use the Blink system as well. It works great!
Sempre aprendendo muito com as dicas ✍️🥰
Very cool. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Just watched and since I'm looking for something to use in our teardrop when we are hiking, the Blink seemed ideal. Popped over to Amazon and WOW, the number of negative reviews is daunting. You need a subscription to record, adequate band width (something about 5G) and the poor reliability and you would need internet, so for us that would mean one of our smart phones as a hotspot or something like a Jetpack from Verizon.
Great video
Awesome video! I will use this system!
Thanks for sharing your research.
Great info! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Great advice, you got yourself a subscriber
awesome tips thanks for sharing👍👍👍
I loved it. Subscribed.
Cool content. Will have to look into this. Thanks.
Id love some elaboration on the wifi neccessity! If my hotspots out of signal range, does that mean I don't get camera footage? Does signal constantly going in/out mean I'll have to reconnect the cameras often? Thanks for the vid!
That’s my question too
Hi. I use blink at home and now considering adding to my transit custom camper. Only issue I've had is that unless you add rubber aftermarket weather protection, after a couple of years you find your internals rusted out. Good video thank you. From rainy U.K.
i was going to go every way u said until i started finding wireless solar cams that you can mount on your roof and then just mount and plug the monitor inside the van and you got a wireless CCTV cam system. Check amazon but that was the direction i was going to go unless starlink gets stuff figured out for my area this year.
...Great Hand Gestures!
thank you for your video! that is great!
thank you. very nice system.
I'm not yet ready to buy, but will use your link when I do. Maybe you'll get a $ or 2. Thanks for the video. I look forward to your follow-up, 7-0.
Nice work!!
you had a good advantage since your van roof is high up. you can have a 4 way compass monitor security system. Unfortunetly I have a suv CRV - with the gps tracking, drive cameras for scammers. and sensor alarms that even if you try to break or wiggle a bit of my car. it will set off a lot of sounds within.
I wanna try blink cameras when I get a toyota sienna or subrbanan with the roof rack up and just attach them on my cargo box :3
Very informative, as always. How much is the angle of view for each camera? If to install several like you did on roof rack, how many cameras are needed to eliminate blind spots?
Solid. Upvoted!
Thank you!
Very good job!!
The simulation really put it into perspective 😂
Great ideas Seven O! I have Blink (recent addition) and Ring at home, and Arlo at my brick-n-mortor business. I started with Arlo, then moved to Ring, but I've been pleased with the Blink for the added security and low price. Of course, I have subscriptions for all three.
After seeing this, I would definitely consider adding a Blink system to my van conversion (I have a Starlink RV so Internet everywhere is not a problem). My only question is, why the need for the doorbell camera on the passenger side? For someone to check to see if your are in the van? Or, it was part of the kit so you used it! Just curious!
Thank you.
Another great Presentation 🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆👏👏👏👏👏👍🏽
Thank you for your infomation
I have 6 of the blink mini cameras as well! I absolutely LUV them! I have them around my apartment suite. I have one facing at my entrance door so I know if anyone is entering (breaking in) to my suite while I'm away, as well as one facing the building entrance door on my side of the building (inside pointing out through the window) & 2 monitoring the parking lot! I also put 2 in another tenants suite facing both directions of the main entrance door on his side of the building. I monitor those as well. They are as easy as you say! I would like to purchase more & add them to the inside of the apartment, one inside facing in the direction of each of the entry doors (that would be 2) & one in the laundry room. No, we do not live in the safest neighborhood. We have suffered break-ins & theft & our landlord/owner is the cheapest neglectful one I've ever come across.
Awesome, good to hear they are working... I want to figure out how to disguise and embed them in natural things, tissue paper containers, etc, so the thugs don't see it immediately or at all. My goal is to get them arrested not to scare them off. So I love the idea of getting video of their faces.💪
@@LJ-jq8og I love the idea of disguising them. Especially in a natural setting. Mine are the minis and are only for indoor use. I'm on the 2nd floor, so anyone on the ground can't see that they are in the window. Also, because they are the minis (small), they fit right in the upper nook of the corner of the window & I don't see any of the window frames in any of the cameras that I have facing out. I LUV the fact that you can speak through them as well. I have spoken to an intruder (another selfish rude thieving tenant who is now in jail & not living in our building anymore) who broke into my suite while I was out one day. After I called another neighbor to let the cops in (24 hr locked doors, no buzzers), I called the cops & reported it, all while I was watching her and once they were on their way, I called out through the camera "Busted"! I called it out a few times. Seriously, the quality of the videos is clear, and you can define colours wonderfully well. And you get sound in the videos too. So you can hear the intruders talking & rumaging.
@@tamo9520 That is so freaking funny ! Great work.... You nailed another democrat 💪 I would give anything to see her face 😂 Landlords don't care unless they are getting sued....
What ever you put out I will watch. I'm hoping your well have heard from you in a while, just check in with us every now and again, just to make sure your alive and well. Hope your full filling your dreams. Lots of love. Afriend.
Thank you, you made my day! I am thinking about getting back into TH-cam, just haven’t quite gotten there yet :)
Eres suuuper agradable, excelentes videos e info 🎀🎀
great video, thanx
Thank you
Great and informative video. A side question. Unrelated, what is the make of the window you are sitting next to? I believe it is the same frame as the plexi glass one I have on my Westy, which is cracking and needs replacement. Thank you in advance if anyone knows please comment.
Thanks Man 💪👍🏻
I use blink. If you setup IFTTT on you phone you can have them auto arm and disarm with you walking away and back to your van via it disconnecting and connecting to wifi.
I would tell the Blink system to add a future that has a way to turn on ur lights in recording while away in the van so the footage has good face recognition shots. The down side to motion lights is the thief will see ur possessions easily.
very creative
perfect!
Good Choice Blink security … i use it and is a super easy system …
Awwwe man! Finally someone praises the 3M Dual Lock! It's AWESOME! I don't know why not many people knows of this, I originally was looking for something to mount my portable amp to my phone, came across dual lock from InnerFedelity on YT, it's AWESOME!
This Blink system seems pretty damn cool, affordable and easy! I'll to check into their privacy policy etc, you know these days...
Great video, I don't own a van but I do follow you to learn so when I do decide to get one! I'll have a huge leg up, happy new years! Thanks!
How do you prevent someone from simply grabbing your doorbell camera if it is just velcroed?
obviously nothing really can stop people from doing that. but cameras have some chilling effect on thieves, I think.
My thoughts as well. Or simply putting something over the lens to block the camera...and also being alerted to the fact more cameras are probably inside, causing the thieves to engage hoodie/mask mode before entry.
A custom silicone attached cover may help
If YOU can think of a question/probem, you might be able to think of a solution, yes? Takes a bit of creativity. Playing chess with smart (or dumb) thieves is an age old problem...
Once the person walking up to the vehicle sees the doorbell it’s too late, they have already been recorded, and most likely know that.
Will definitely check out Blink for my rig. Thanks!!
I think people are going to ask, please provide the details on what/how you use as your wifi/hotspot. Great video, made me think....
Starlink RV
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I've been searching for a dash cam for a van. Wondering if something like these could have dual use?
Love 707😉
Thank you for sharing. What's the best wifi while traveling?
Wouldn't it be good to have motion sensors outside wired to an audible device inside that makes a loud dog barking sound? And maybe throw in a "I ❤Pitbulls" sticker on the door and bumper? I'm not joking!
I am taking that advice!
EXCELLENT!!!
Just stop
How about tge picking on the van for security as well?? Thunderbolt, for example. Also can and I believe should have a dash cam with motion detection. Huge help and easy install in addition.
So much paranoia with a van in CA! Im focusing on this very early on in my build. My issue with wifi cameras for security is that wifi can be defeated with a pocket sized jammer. I dislike walled garden systems for privacy and upgradability. I live in break-in central, and ill be installing ONVIF/RTSP cameras on a POE system, with a small single board computer running Frigate and Home Assistant. These will all run directly off the DC bus. This will allow for NVR, cloud backups, and alerts. Im designing my security as an integrated system, with an aftermarket two way alarm, thunderbolt and puck locks, and a camera and presence detection system with its own LTE modem for alerts. An added plus to using my own SBC, I will be able to integrate my own glass break and motion/presence detection.
Planning the same with HA and Frigate on a HP T530. Not decided yet which camera's. In my garden to check for birds I use the Eufy Indoor 2K, build in a PVC pipe, works great, but a little to big imo for the roofrack.
YES, you cannot be too careful. Especially living in lefty land. You are guaranteed to have people try and break in. Sadly, you need to remember that no matter where you park it when you live in that area it is ultra high risk. But it sounds like you're putting in a great system.
I would also design into your build plans places to put laptops iPads, and wallets that are seamless and counterintuitive so if somebody does break in, they can't find them easily. One of my ideas was to have old junk or huge Apple laptops and iPads that were broken and leave those readily findable.
That way the lefty thugs, find a bunch of "treasure" but don't realize that you are decoying them with pure crap. They will feel like they hit it big and bail out of the vehicle sooner than later. This way your good stuff is hidden away, built into the frame of the interior. Good luck and be prepared for having to get new windows on a regular basis.
@@ijsvogels_nl yes, the right form factor for automotive appears to be a challenge. The analog cameras used for vehicle backup and security seem to be the right size, but one would need to add a video server to convert the analog video to an rtsp stream. The vivotek video servers might work well. Heads up, Eufy were found to be sending data back to company servers!
@@vandal144 Will check that Vivotek out. I'm gonna check out ESP32cam and Raspberry camera's as well, I don't want to be independent for firmware of other companies.
@@LJ-jq8og vandalism and crime are not isolated to a political spectrum, but rather based on location, scale and opportunity. No one is going to ransack a run down trailer park.
I have a eufy system that sounds very similar to blink
Please make more videos! Travel, life, build, adventures!
Question, the Wi-Fi on the road… do you have starlink?
Thanks for making a video about this. I’m so freaked out about theft. I also live in a city with rampant crime! 🤦🏼♂️
Nice ! Thankyou ~peace~
Great video! I have this idea. You mount a pole on top of the van. With a hinge to lay it down or removable when driving. When the pole is extended upright, maybe you only need 2 back to back Blink cameras mounted to it? Will that provide a 360 view with minimal cameras?
I wonder if the velcro survives the shakes the van undergoes.
As usual, great video! I was thinking ab,,the camera on d side…. Maybe zip ties perpendicular to existing too and silicone on grabbing areas- I’ve experienced loosening and now it’s DONE!
Ps, how and where is gf?
This worked well for the sliding door screen: 3M 4941 VHB Double-Sided Acrylic Foam Tape, 45 mil, 0.5" x 5 Yards (Dark Grey)
How is the battery life? How do you keep it from picking things up while in transit? Thanks
