Infra Red camera's will not work very well behind glass windows.

[@kevinlee7263]

One thing you might want to consider about your front camera is that the IR night vision probably won't work when looking through glass. I have one set up like that. All I could see at night was the reflection of the IR lights in the glass. I can turn off the IR lights and just use existing visible lights, but then you can't see anything except maybe a person right under the porch light and very close to the camera.

Eric, THANK YOU so much for including the Jax Angel back into your outro😻 for me, he is the embassador for all of the kitty angels! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU🎄 from Mrs. Ed Layne

[@richardlaborde6460]

Great video! When I put my night vision camera facing out of a window the reflection from the night vision made unusable. Hopefully yours has better technology and won’t have that problem.

[@IntegraDIY]

If you are building a school bus into an RV and you are in the first steps, wouldn’t it be hard to not show where the security system will be set up at? I think it’ll be best to have it by your bed.. so you can check the monitor and be able to see everything in your resting area

[@floridabb]

I would recommend renaming the bus!

I like POE, power and video over a single ethernet cable.

Good morning Eric, Diana, kitties, & friends!! ... Eric, don't let those trolls get to you! They are going to try! Jealousy is just another form of hate!🤗

[@JanesDough855]

You are smart to install cameras. Sad that society is like this today, but you have to protect yourself and your property.

[@Gayle.M]

Are you planning to label all those wires in case you need to do future repairs?

[@superdog9176]

This question might sound bizarre but would you ever be able to make the bus a stationary tiny home if you had to? I mean basically you are building a house, it's just on wheels. Maybe when you're 70 you might want to still travel but just shorter trips and have a livable home base. God forbid something happens like with poor Felix and you have to stay stationary for a while. Sorry I'm sounding like a downer but I'm curious what the longevity of the bus could be for someone who has property like you but eventually wants or needs to become stationary. I would be thinking why sell the bus and buy a house or tiny home when I've already built my ideal home. Does that make sense?

[@brianvandy4002]

Looking good, Eric. Hey, regarding that hard drive. I would suggest instead an SSD. Having a hard drive with it's platters spinning 90 times a second traveling around in something that could cause jarring impacts to it can lead to early failure. An SSD has no moving parts to cause physical damage, so they're going to be more robust in motion. Otherwise you should shut it down when preparing to drive off. That's what I do with my NAS, shut it down before I move.

[@jeffbrdr]

SSD is pretty new technology. Old school hard drives worked fine in laptops for years, traveling all over the place getting banged around. Doesn’t really matter, imo.

[@MagentaRV]

@@jeffbrdr laptops all use SSD by default now because mechanical drives aren't meant to be moved and bumped when running. SSDs aren't that new, they've been around more than 30 years and they're not that much more expensive if at all...

[@brianvandy4002]

@@jeffbrdr They worked fine for years in laptops, but it was very rare for laptops to actually be on and accessing the drive while being "banged around." SSD is not new technology. It's been around for 35 years. Oh, and the reason I shut my NAS off before I move? Because I've had to replace hard drives before I realized I needed to shut them down before moving.

[@brianvandy4002]

@@RVingwithG When it lists an RPM, that means it has a spinning disk, so it really is a HDD.

[@daylen577]

@@jeffbrdr SSDs aren't new at all, they're literally bigger SD cards, we've had them for years and years. Flash storage is much more reliable period.

[@DavidHall-d8q]

Well done ... all of your past experience and advice will be worth the work and expense . I try tell women that men who are knowledgeable and experienced in blue collar work are going to be SO VALUABLE in the near future . Some say those in tech are the ones but , the truth is many tech guys will be out of work once the systems are in place and all that is needed will be a few maintenance guys and their robots . Laugh if you want but that is the near future . Ladies you'd better secure a GOOD man and make a good wife because women's Jobs will be the first to go . PK

[@Gayle.M]

Have you run across a dash cam that works good in the dark with just the headlights? I’ve tried 2, one cheap and one mid price. The cheap didn’t work and the middle price one did show my headlights, kind of. But both worked great in daylight.

[@stevenanderson5272]

[@brokeandbored85]

Good idea to get cameras, but would have been better if you got more discreet cameras. Too many cameras can sometimes bring unwanted attention

[@yolandaloza4858]

Eric ignore the mean humans. Use sinking tubing on your wires. My husband is an engineer and he saids your a smart man. Why are folks so mean ????? We love you dude. And wireless is the best way to go. About the police report, I believe you. There are a lot of people who are jealous and evil. We know who they are. You’re doing good dude. We are happy to see that Diana keeps her clothing on because our grandsons love your bus and one day they want to visit your bus where you live. Keep your videos coming and take care of those loving cats.

Eric you could have just used a longer bit from the outside to see where to drill from the inside! 👍

[@MagentaRV]

Yeah, this is a thing. Drill the outside, remove the material stuck in the saw, drill again to go through with the pilot bit... Now you know exactly where to be with no measuring or guessing.

[@wellmike]

Thanks Eric, I'm really enjoying this series. Your DIY skills have grown so much over the years. Keep up the good work. Mike

[@chrishelms1967]

[@deeblite]

Since you're taking the rear view mirror off you should repurpose it as a bathroom mirror

[@iandavid7474]

You should have gone 4k cameras with full colour night vision, massive difference, especially at night with it staying in full colour

[@americanpatriot8786]

I have pulled into a gas station before and shortly after had a CHP officer pull up behind me and say that someone swore they saw me swerving all over the road. I told him I wasn’t swerving, he insisted a couple more times and I held fast to my story because I wasn’t. He told me to watch my driving then drove away, probably sore that I didn’t admit to something I didn’t do. The point is, yes they will come ask you if someone says something against you. Eric you’re correct to protect yourself.

[@deney54]

I have the same system for my house, works great. It's been a year and still works, no problems.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

[@bootsbagby6551]

On your front camera put a block in between the camera and bus. This will lower the camera so not to have any blocked as well as a better viewing angle.

[@enjoylife7030]

Very good price for what you get. Do the LED's come on when motion is detected at night, and if so, do they provide adequate illumination? I like night vision but the best cameras I have owned for night time recording are the ones that turn on a bright light when motion is detected. The light provides a much clearer image in the recording in low light situations as opposed to simply using the night vision technology where the image has that greenish glow to it.

Hello Eric, looks good, hope works like you want! I think security cameras are a good thing, but I can’t bring myself to drilling all those holes in my coach , Lol. I will do some more research on them . Thanks for sharing!

Eric, that hole in the mounting plate is usually put there for the wire to come out the side instead of through the hole in the back if you can't drill through the mounting surface for whatever reason. You can use it as a drain, but that's not it's intended purpose. :)

Good to have a camera system but I'm afraid cheaping on a system like this isn't the way to go. These cams are probably not good enough quality and the picture quality really is lacking barely 720p. Will be a shame when you have closed all wires in and want to change it out later.
