Trailer Security System- Designed Especially for Trailers

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Here at RV Burglar Alarm Security Systems, we have spoken before about adapting a car alarm to be used on an RV. But, what if you would rather try a trailer alarm instead? Trailer Dog Security Systems makes a security system especially designed for a trailer with an existing electrical power source. This security system could be perfect for fifth wheel security, travel trailer security, or toy hauler security. Especially if your trailer will be sitting unattended for a long period of time, like at a storage facility away from your home, the Trailer Dog Security System just might be perfect because it not only sounds the alarm, but also locks the wheels.

The trailer security system is made of commercial grade components. The unit is tamper proof and uses two ear piercing sirens, flashing lights, and a trailer brake locking mechanism. Other optional additions to the trailer security system include expansion to receivers, motion sensors, fire alarms, and smoke detectors. This trailer security system can be upgraded to a TD 2000 G, another Trailer Dog unit with more features, at any time.

This RV security system comes with 2 key chain remote controls, 2 heavy duty sealed door switches, integrated siren, exterior siren, electronic trailer brake lock, and more. For more information on this product, click here.

RV Alarm – Car Alarm Modifications

Monday, December 7th, 2009

rv_car_alarmA regular car alarm can work as a RV alarm system with a couple of modifications:

1.  Have the alarm installer put LED lights on the outside of your RV that blink to alert thieves that an alarm is present.  This alone can be a deterrent to a burglar because your RV looks like too big of a challenge.  A thief wants an easy RV target to steal from.

2.  Have the RV burglar alarm security system wired so that all of the lights on the RV flash if the RV alarm is set off.

3.  Set up a vibration sensitive detector that will sound if the glass is broken out on any of your RV doors or windows.

4.  For your home security while you are away RVing, you may also want to install a feature on the home alarm system that calls the cell phone of your alarm responder if the land line to your house is cut.

Just a few ideas for you to ponder on modifying a car alarm to become an RV alarm system.  For further details, contact a trusted alarm system provider or RV alarm security system installer.

RV Alarm System – Canine Influenced

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

bark alarmHave you ever heard someone say a big dog is all of the RV security that you need? Well, maybe this person was correct. Check out this RV alarm system that truly barks like a real dog. The Watch Dog Alarm plugs into your wall with no installation and produces a realistic sounding German Shepard bark when someone approaches the RV. Fairly small and compact, the RV alarm system can see through walls, glass, and doors up to 30 feet away. The closer the person gets, the more frequent the barking becomes.

How RV Alarm Monitoring Works

Monday, October 19th, 2009

internet_monitoringHave you ever wondered how signals are sent from your alarm system to the central station that monitors your house or your RV?

Alarm signals can be sent by the phone line (which is the least secure method), private telemetry networks (very secure), cellular alarm modules (very secure), and now over the Internet (security is being determined).

Specifically the Internet module is wired into your alarm system control box, and it’s given an IP address and plugged into your router (cable or DSL). The allows signals to be instant. You can push a button on your burglar alarm system and the signal is at the central station immediately. This allows your security system to communicate with the central station every 60 seconds for line security and then this line security can be adjusted.

The Internet option is nice because a homeowner can install broadband and they do not have to install or pay for a phone line. One downfall of the Internet monitoring option for RV security and/or home alarm systems is that you need a UPS for power on your modem and router and if the Internet goes down so does your alarm communication.

Internet monitoring is light years ahead of using the phone line for your alarm, but an alarm installer has to be computer literate with IP setups and protocols and at the present time there aren’t very many skilled installers out there in setting up Internet monitoring for you burglar alarm security system.

RV Hard-wired versus wireless security systems

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Should you chose a hard-wired security system or a wireless security system?

For homes, the common consensus is to go for a hard-wired security system unless you expect to be selling the house in a few years. The main reason for this thinking is…batteries. Often you will get a false alarm when batteries go dead in motion sensors if you don’t check them on the wireless systems. Wireless systems also go through a large amount of batteries and replacing these batteries can become a full-time job. If one or more batteries fail while you are out RVing and away from home, that point of protection is worthless.

Another reason is component failure and components can be hard to obtain as manufacturers discontinue products and move on to new technology. Thus, if any amount of time passes, it is possible that parts will no longer be available and new models will no longer be compatible with your current system. This may mean that you will have to invest in a completely new security system instead of just repairing what you currently have.

If you do go with a hard-wired system and make sure you spec the security system with internal and external sirens. Many owners tend to skip getting the internal siren, but internal sirens are very loud and can make a burglar think twice about picking your home.

However, if you are installing the system on your RV, a wireless system might be the perfect solution. Especially a system that pages your cell phone if something is disturbed and monitors motion on doors.

Top Choices in RV Security Systems

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

On many of the RV forums, a popular selection for alarm and security systems, that seems to have a lot of backing, is ADT Security Systems. Used by most RV owners for home protection when they are on the road, it gives owner’s piece of mind knowing that their house is safeguarded while they are out of town traveling in their RV. Most motorhome owners also have neighbors watch over their house and/or park in their driveway while they are gone, in addition to having an alarm system like ADT. Just the presence of security signs displayed outside of a residence, even if you do not own a security system, may convince a burglar to move on to a softer target. The website Ehow.com says “Display no trespassing and security signs such as beware or dog and stickers advertising that your home and property is monitored by a security system and cameras to help protect it.”

Not only can alarm systems, like ADT security systems, help prevent theft these also can help save pets from fire while you are away. One option is to get fire monitoring with your security system. This gives many pet loving RV owners extra piece of mind.
