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 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.

If you store your RV for any period of time, be it at a RV storage facility, on a pad in your yard, or at a friends shed…you are probably concerned about keeping your RV safe from burglar’s through an alarm or security system. There have been many reported incidents lately of thieves breaking in to RVs in storage facilities and stealing newly installed HD and/or plasma TV’s. Or maybe burglar’s are targeting RV’s expecting to find other electronics, important papers, or other valuable items that RV owners have left in the RV while it is stored for the off season.

What about your security when you are parked at campgrounds or boondocking at Walmart? Do you need an alarm or security system to help you keep watch?

Then there is the worry about your home while you are away RVing. Even with the neighbors keeping watch and law enforcement patrolling all neighborhoods on their regular rounds, how do you know that your house is as safe as it could be? Would you like to be able to view your house through your security system while you are on the road, to make sure that everything is in the proper place?

Now that you have decided that security of both your RV and home are important to you, which security or alarm system do you chose? Do you go with a wireless or hard wired security alarm system? What are all of the factors that you need to know when installing an alarm or security system?
