5 Best RV Security Systems 

Just because you're relaxing while you travel, doesn't mean you should let down your guard. What is the best RV security system?

Camping is oftentimes a relaxing adventure. It’s a way to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That is why when RV owners travel, they can sometimes forget to implement security measures.

It's not even uncommon for people to leave their RV or travel trailer unlocked when they leave the RV park. But, unfortunately, that leaves easy targets for thieves to hit.

While you should not spend time worrying about your RV being broken into, it is still a good idea to be prepared. (Jennifer and I have been broken into before!)

Installing an RV security system is a great place to start when looking to secure your RV! Not only are security systems great when you are using your RV, but they can also be useful during the off-season. At the very least, they will provide you with peace of mind throughout the year.

5 Best RV Security Systems

Jennifer and I have been using the Canary Security System since 2016. We have been very happy with it and still recommend it to everyone.

However, I always like to provide different options for our readers. So, from my research, I've included 4 other options that seem to be the most popular RV security systems today.

1. Canary All-in-One Indoor Security Camera

This is the latest Canary security camera available on Amazon. It has a very nice design that can easily blend in with your decor, hiding in plain site. If anything, it looks more like a speaker than a camera.

As I mentioned before, there's no installation required. You simply plug it in, connect to wifi, and all systems go.

It has a built-in burglar alert siren and works with Alexa, Plus, it sends motion, person, and air quality alerts to your smart device. Oh, and it has an HD camera with night vision.

Overall, it really lives up to its name of “All-in-One.”

2. Simplisafe Security System

One option for the best RV security system is called the SimpliSafe security system. This RV and home security system is a DIY alarm system offering economical professional monitoring.

It does not require a contract or professional installation. It is all wireless and you can easily install cameras, sensors and the control center yourself.

Aside from its easy self-installation and wireless system features, the Simplisafe security system includes a loud siren with controllable volume. It also comes complete with many different sensors to provide an extra layer of safety.

The SimpliSafe security systems offer multiple sensors that can detect breaking glass, freezing temperatures, water leaks, and bursting pipes. It can also detect carbon monoxide leaks, fires, and floods.

This system uses Wi-fi, but does have a built-in cellular connection for backup. From what we understand, the camera doesn't work on cellular, but the other features do.

3. Reolink Argus 2 + Solar Panel

The Reolink is going to be the best RV security system for night vision and two-way audio.

Its nighttime picture quality is like none other. It features starlight sensor that works very well, even in low light conditions. This provides more vivid and detailed pictures when most cameras only provide black and white images at night.

This camera system is also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant and offers two-way communication. That allows you to communicate with the person (or pet) that you’re recording, and hear their response.

The Reolink Argus 2 is SD card compatible and is charged by a solar panel. It can also be charged via USB if needed.

Finally, it does not require a subscription. This device can record to the cloud where you can later view your footage.

4. Arlo Pro 2

The Arlo Pro 2 is touted as the best RV security system for its camera angle flexibility.

If you are an avid boondocker like Jennifer and me, you never know where you might end up. Having a flexible camera angle might be an important feature to you!

I also like this security system since it has a magnetic base. That means you do not have to make any holes in your RV to install this system! It is easy to move around when you travel to new spots.

Another great feature is its microphone. You can tune into your video feed, and talk to your pet or another person. That makes for an easy way to communicate when apart, or can help warn strangers that they are being monitored.

5. Tattletale Portable Alarm System

A modern security system, the Tattle comes stocked with built-in motion detector and a battery back-up when an outside power source is not an option.

It is a home security system, but is portable and wireless, making it great for your RV.

The Telltale also comes with extra features, like emergency monitoring. It also has a panic button that is easily set up with a remote control key fob.

In addition, this device can send notifications to up to five people when unusual movement activates the motion detector.
