Security Cameras
We just added StarLink for our Alaska trip. I have two Blink cameras on the Montana currently. I keep an outdoor Blink on a plexiglass mount at the front door and an indoor under the cabinets over the rear window. I may add one in the basement and one watching our e-bikes. Anyone else using cameras on their units? Have you found a unique placement for them?

Tony, we have used the Blink for about three years now. I like them because the outdoor cameras go two years on two AA lithium batteries. I had issues with a neighbor, so since I use them at home, just kept the same infrastructure in the RV. The Blink mini’s can be found under $30 and are powered by USB. The outdoor are battery as above. They have worked from -20 F to 90 F and up to 84 mph winds. Curious where you end up putting them. The Blink has the ability to flip the image, so you can mount upside down. Check out if you can mount them upside down. Then you can place them more out of sight.

I use Wyze cameras at home and in our 3811ms. They have several different cameras to choose from - most are USB powered but one that is battery powered with optional solar panel connection. They have Starlight sensors - which means color night vision. They also have a video doorbell. Most - maybe all - of their cameras have a micro-SD card slot to record continuously - regardless of whether you have an Internet connection or not. As for quantity and placement, it depends on how long you stay in one location. If moving often, you don't need as many. Same goes if you use the PTZ (pan, tilt & zoom) model, because it can follow motion and cover more area than standard cameras. Lastly, if you don't like the white color - or the limited edition black, there are several options for skins / wraps for them on Amazon.

We installed magnets in the blink camera mounts and mount them on the inner slide out frames and hitch
