Hello I really appreciate you very much I'm grateful that I found your channel I'm still working on my 8 and a 1/2 by 20 cargo trailer but but I watched so many different YouTube and there is a man named dulex He has the best video cameras around that I've seen in his setup
Well, Arkansas is a Constitutional Carry state. That being said, this situation didn't reach a point that that would have been necessary to bring out a firearm. You do need to be prepared just in case. I would make sure you got proper training. Both on the use and safety of using a firearm. You would be surprised all the things you never thought of when it comes to being a responsible firearm owner. This is exactly one of the reasons for the second amendment.
I have a Zmodo Secuity System. It comes with 8 cameras, They can all be watched on a TV monitor. You can also watch them on a Iphone when your away. They record back 7 days. You can download or take snap shots. It does require Internet access to view on a Iphone. I have one at home to watch my Apple trees and Peacan trees when I'm out camping
You need to talk to your cat, Delilah, tell her she needs to pick it up on her security detail. Teach Delilah to scream like a cougar/mountain lion, that would get unwanted intruders backing it up quick. Entitled people are aggravating to deal with as they think the rules apply to everyone but them. Those folks are always testing the boundaries. Courtesy goes a long way with other campers; but, sadlysome folks have not learned that lesson.
I would recommend you both start using a body camera when any type of interaction with guests is going to occur. This will protect your rights and have an actual video on record of what happened. Next, I would inform people that you have been tasked with enforcing the rules and the Owners / Park Management have instructed to enforce a zero tolerance policy and that you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. If they fail to comply you will not debate the situation further. You will inform the local law enforcement to issue them a no trespass notification and if they fail to leave the park after that then they can be arrested.
A body camera is going to give you piece of mind if it turns into a he said she said scenario. Good Luck.
They have cheap security cameras for the trailer but you can use driveway alarm to warn of people walking across your site. Cheaper suggestion would be to install wide angle door peep hole.
There's a LOT of good advice in the comments. I'm so sorry there are morons who treat people badly and criminals who think they can just take what they want. When they start going to jail over and over, they might get the message.
I am about to retire and thought being a camphost would be fantastic. However, after listening to your experience, I would not make a good one. You simply cannot interact with unreasonable people in a reasonable manner. They wouldn't be asked to comply, they wouldn't be told to comply, they would be made to comply and leave immediately. I have been a street cop in one of the most dangerous cities in America for over 30 years. I am old school not macho. I hate conflict. I would encourage you and the Park Rangers and the local LEO not to give quarter at all to those types of personalities.
What these people fail to realize is that they are on FEDERAL property. Any infraction that requires law enforcement goes through a federal magistrate.
When I was growing up, I thought my dad hated the world. It seemed everywhere he went or everything he did, there would be someone that would make him mad. Now that I’m hitting his age, I understand completely what was making him mad. People, not all people, but people can sometimes make you wonder what ever happened to natural selection.
This guy DualEx had a video about how he installed these minimal cameras around his van, I feel like it might be a good solution! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0m6PnLSwPU
The Park Ranger was not doing his job in the first place allowed this to continue to happen and let you to deal with it. One question that can you armed yourself while at the camp ground?
We’ve had several run in’s with ppl that didn’t like our conversion and further insult far into the night . I finally got out said first off I don’t have fancy rig like yours but I built this so we know how to fix it when it breaks. Abd secondly I’m retired AF Abd my wife still holds full time job as a jet mechanic. It’s shut up several ppl who tried to harass us. We’re trying to find cams too for all 4 sides of the trailer and yes can’t be more then 3 or 4 inches

So enjoy your adventures. I have seen van lifers using Simply Safe security systems which might be worth looking at. Safe travels.

Maybe you can have cameras you put out when you are parked vs traveling with them outside and risking damage.
Shut up!
Ring Solar cameras have sirens and mics or solar lights, security signs. Pepper spray if needed.former LE and miltary.

Just remember that if you buy cameras that need internet you will have to stay where there is internet.
boondocking
Nice to catch up with you two!
Your second amendment might be of help to you.
wyze cam works really good

You should talk to a YouTube named nomadic fanatic because he has a good security system for his camper .
Video and firearms are a great thing to have. 911 is minutes away, death and great bodily harm are seconds away. Just saying.
You have good upload speeds at the restaurant ….. is that upload of data or food😂
.
.this house protected by Smith and Wesson is a great deterrent. Cameras at the corners is also a good idea.

Unfortunately there will always be that 5%.
Let's just hope that it stays only 5.
It's a shame that the actions of the 5% effect so many of the 95%.

This really upsetting to my soul. You guys are awesome. You help many of us. With information on getting into the cargo trailer lifestyle.
