Using Side/Rear Cameras for Security
Has anyone tied into their cameras for security when parked. It would be nice to see if someone is around the motorhome without turning on the signals or putting it in reverse.

For me its not the technology but it becomes a mental mindset.
If I need to watch cameras at night it ruins my experience. If I don't have a camera option then I won't develop that mindset.
Cameras may act as a deterrent, but they need to be conspicuous vs. being hidden to do so.
In the long run too much focus/awareness on crime and safety puts a damper on the overall experience. If the area is safe go and enjoy yourself if the area is unsafe choose another area. Trying to camp in reconnaissance mode is no fun.
Sort of like sleeping with one eye open .....that's really no way to relax and have a good time!
