Hi All. I've recently bought a 7m long motorhome, and store it at a location which is secure, but has no CCTV. I would therefore like to monitor motion (not just impact) remotely from my phone. Given the length of the vehicle, a reversing camera would also be of benefit. I'm therefore looking for a solution which combine the following requirements:
Think that's it - hope you can help!
- front and rear cameras both with motion detection (not just impact detection)
- reversing camera (ideally with the green/red/yellow lines showing on a display). I can accept that the I will have to engage the app on my phone (which I also use for satnav) when I want to use the camera
- wifi - I will connect the cameras via wifi to an old android phone which has 3G/4G signal. This phone will stay in the motorhome. I will then use Airdroid as a means of controlling this old phone, and change the various settings on the camera app remotely. I realise that some apps are better than others, so not all the camera's settings will be available via the app. When motion is detected (not necessarily impact) - e.g. someone walks in front of the parked motorhome, the camera sends image/video over wifi to the phone and I can 'dial in' to the old phone to see what's happening.
- It would be nice for the cameras to have GPS, for any any insurance claim purposes
- power - I already have a leisure battery installed in my motorhome which I never use (I always camp with shorepower/electric hook up). I'm happy to get one more leisure battery and connect in parallel, but the battery(s) needs to last up to a week without charge, so the cameras would need to take minimum draw. Alternatively, I can buy a powerbank for each camera - providing the camera can operate whilst charging (i read on nextbase forums that they can't do this). The old phone will also need to be connected to this powersupply. Ultimately, I'm going to get solar panels on the motorhome to hopefully keep the leisure batteries topped up - but please assume this isn't happening anytime soon.
- Whilst the vehicle is stationary, I don't need the cameras to be permanently recording - just on motion detection.
- Audio on the cameras isn't essential
Think that's it - hope you can help!
