Inside Security Cameras?

How about one of those Nanny Cams

Address the theft with the shop that did the maintenance and stole the items.

Do you have a PC in the RV? If so use an external drive that's hard to remove. Maybe in a wood box screwed to the floor with stripped Phillips head screws and record video to that. I use Yawcam software as a dashcam. It also works as a security cam software.

Yep, which is why I think cloud monitoring is very important. $10/mo seems quite reasonable for that added bit of security.

IN another thread on one of the forums I visit an RV owner had such a camera.

The thief entered, Spotted the camera, Played with it, Left it, and then left the RV.. Went home, went to jail and as far as I know remains there today.

The problem I see with an exposed camera once stolen you are no better off. A notice on the door is no proof you have or had a security camera.

When I was searching for a security system I found a lot of cameras embedded in things like a wall clock or picture frame, they have SD cards and are just about impossible to detect the only shortcoming is battery life but in your case this would not be a problem.

When I said I was only interested in using the camera when work is performed on our coach, its because that is the only time someone other than my wife or I are inside our motor home. And, it was during a PM service that our robbery occurred. If the camera is stolen during coach servicing, we obviously know who did it.

First and foremost, having a security camera and stickers on the doors will act as a deterrent.

The reason I want the camera to record to an SD card is we have to pay for Verizon broadband data and it is expensive. I was hoping to avoid running up my Verizon bill every time the camera is in use.

I'm not trying to start a fight. I didn't understand from your original post that you were only interested in using the camera while you have work done on your rig. I am still interested if anyone has ideas about my questions concerning cameras that will provide a record up to the point that the camera itself is stolen. Obviously if a camera records to an internal SD card and the camera is stolen the recording is gone too.

So what's your point? A as victim of a theft I am hoping to prevent it from happening again.

So you are only interested in cameras to watch the techs working on your rig? You don't care about catching a thief in your rig who is not working on it? That was the intent of my questions.
