How I made a Stealth Security Camera System | TINY Cargo Van Conversion
In this video, I explain how I made the security camera system that I used in my Ford Transit Connect cargo van conversion. This is a simple system that can be achieved at a low cost.
I used a 12v 4 way split screen as my monitor and 4 cheap Amazon backup cameras as the live feed. I simply needed to connect everything to a 12v power source and attach it to a switch.

Hey I need some help

@Jay-hm4yy 2 года назад

Dualex should try converting a shipping container into a tiny house or just built from the bottom up with all the knowledge that he has obtained through all his builds. Really hoping to see a tiny house build in the next bazillion year into the future. :D

@scar3xcr0 2 года назад

Hey if you haven't already done it you should put some tape or a rubber washer in your drill holes so it doesn't saw through the wire from the vibration while you drive. Great tutorial.

@below2918 2 года назад

Good info. Thanx man. What was your total cost or cost breakdown?

@Kingofprinciples 2 года назад

Great video… bro I don’t see the smart mirror In the Amazon list… what brand is it?

@shamrockfile 2 года назад

Only noticed one thing missing. Vans flex a lot while driving, to avoid wear on the wires install a rubber grommet on drilled holes and then pass the wire through.

@markphillips8019 2 года назад

15Amp fuses? I'd be shocked if the whole system used half of that. Plus your wiring is not capable of anywhere near that and so should something bad happen you will NOT blow the fuse before the wires catch fire. Try replacing those blue fuses with 1Amp black ones (the color dictates the rating). Otherwise, well done. Amazing job.

@randynovick7972 2 года назад

Pretty cool. I didn't see you use any rubber grommets or sillycone when you were passing wires through drilled holes in sheet metal. I've had some stereo installs that needed to be redone (well, just recabled) when sheet metal wore through the wire insulation where the cables passed through. It takes awhile, but vibration can do this bit by bit and you don't notice until signal gets bad. You can wrap the ID of your holes with foam rubber or neoprene (I cut up tiny strips from an old mousepad one time.). Anyhow, this was neat to see and I like your approach to power - keepin' it simple. Nice work and thanks for sharing it!

@cb1784 4 месяца назад

This is great advice (not just for the video poster but for us watching it!) I hadn’t heard this before. Thankyou!

@CannedNirvana 3 месяца назад

Good advice. Paint any exposed metal after drilling, then place grommets to protect the cables.

So I'm guilty of taking the filming aspect for granted. Your content is so awe inspiring, I completely disregard the filming, editing and final product. Wow man, you are a regular Jack of all trades, but you seem to master them all as well!!

@barbaragrant9337 2 года назад

You are so impressive, there is nothing you can't do !! We sit here in Ottawa Canada watching your accomplishments and can't help but be amazed at your unique talents to tackle jobs most people could not do or think to do. Bravo.

@treytonbuh4720 2 года назад

Love waking up to see your vids man! i’m trying to get on your level of camper/van/rv renovations. your videos give me inspiration

@BasicallyBosco 2 года назад

Dualex! You are literally a Godsend. I been waiting to do a conversion on the ford transit connect and you are making videos on everything I wanted to do. I love how straight forward and details your videos are.

@ThomasTrutt 7 месяцев назад

Cool idea... I would just make a few changes.. Move the side cameras to the side mirrors (just because that is usually where blind spot cameras are). Id also add a old laptop or a raspberry pi running Frigate NVR and a Google Coral TPU.. Frigate will record all your video streams or only when it sees motion. It can also be set up for alerts and if you really want to get into it face detection of common people.. One cool feature is you can set up zones and tell it to look for specific things like people or cars. All local and self contained. Id do two modes a drive mode that pings you when someone is along side you and a night mode that looks for motion by the van and alerts you. Im curious how the nigh vision is on the cameras?

@johnwilcox8519 2 года назад

Great video my friend! I'm a bit of a security camera nerd around my house. I even have a LTE dashcam that is accessible on my phone, the trouble is that it only shows the front. It's only natural that I wanted to view more angles when "car camping" and this is EXACTLY what my plan was on using. Thanks for the post!

@carolwilkeshoward5629 2 года назад

That’s wonderful to see , you are educating people every day. I’m really learning and I’m a senior. Thank you

@stephaniesimmons-ashorobi3314 2 года назад

This vid is interesting and educational again you nailed it Duel Ex. I always feel that again your deep insight on practical projects are wonderful gifts of your skills and knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

@jillhershberger3213 2 года назад

Happy Easter Dualex! Thank you for your intuitive knowledge you share with us! I am now building my cargo trailer. I learn lots from you. Thank you XOX

@PossumMedic 2 года назад

Perfect! Thank you so much! 😀 Don't forget to file or sand those holes so they don't chop up your wires.

@theresakelley9730 2 года назад

I always watch your videos as soon as they come out. I really enjoy them and find them entertaining and informative. I have no desire to do a conversion but I am impressed with all you do and have done. Thanks

@rman8028 2 года назад

This video answered the question I wanted addressed (security cameras) for a stealth van. Thanks for the straightforward way you presented it.

@craftyourwaytopeace Год назад

You have some of the most helpful videos out here. I'm always excited to see what you're up to even though I don't comment very often. I know when you're finished with your van it's going to be not only functional but it'll be beautiful! Can't wait! 🤗

@fitmydashcam 2 года назад

Thinkware F790 and MB100 will do the same thing, but a bit more refined. Can also output to a monitor, and will obviously record etc. :)

@jwf2327 2 года назад

Excellent work, you impress me every time I check in on your videos! Keep up the great work.

@62hotrodvair 2 года назад

thanks for this information . love your video's, all very well made . . and am glad you don't have over powering blaring music in the back ground as you are talking . keep up the good work ! what you show helps and inspires many people.

@Dualex_Builds 2 года назад

I try my best to mix the audio well during my edits. I think audio is more important than the visual quality

@Kayte... 2 года назад

Ditto on the music. Many times on vids, the music is so grating I need to turn off the volume.

@BattleOfBowties 2 года назад

Great job I am doing the same for my camper build, I have to integrate a DVR as well.

@SoCalKevin 2 года назад

Nice 👍. I have been planning to do this same setup for a while ever since I saw cyclecruza do it on his Chevy bugout van about 2 years ago. He’s been running the setup for years. He has all his cams fed into a large tv on a swing out mount in the back of the van. Maybe I’ll be able to tackle that project this summer finally.

@storbokki371 2 года назад

Now all you need is a camera that shows the driver, in case your vehicle is stolen. Like those cameras they use in bait car videos.

@charlesknight3204 2 года назад

Outstanding!!! Short, sweet & straight to the point … best video on do it yourself security camera installation. Educational and informative!!! Excellent job. Be safe and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠👨‍🌾✝️🙏🐩

@judymoodyslifevlogs4341 2 года назад

How you come up with all these ideas is impressive! I really enjoy your expertise and knowledge. Nice!

@CannedNirvana 3 месяца назад

I'm glad I ran across this video. For several months I have been looking at camera systems to add to my van. I don't really care for most of the available options. Like you commented, most of them were bulky and were better suited for home use than on a van. Definitely not stealthy. This looks like it might work. Thanks for the tip!

@quintbarjheron6265 2 года назад

amazing you have such a way almost like an artist with a canvas you sir are destined for greatness thank you for sharing

@jamescarroll0615 2 года назад

This vid was exactly what I was looking for. Been on my mind and this was the easiest solution.

@madjack8893 2 года назад

This was a really good video. Appreciate the close up of the components. Going to check the electrical follow up.

@williamwatson8796 Год назад

Sooo , Where is the Electrical " Follow Up" Video ...? Also, I did Not See the Dual ( Male ) ends- connector for the Yellow camera Plug Wires.... Listed anywhere, but I'm Sure I can Track them Down... On Amazon.... People are Mentioning that the Side / White Cameras Show ( upside Down) on the Monitor...? What's the Resolve on That..? I Love the Whole Set up, But Probably Would Not be able to Purchase the Bluetti Power Box, I would Just Hook it up to an Auxillary Battery Bank. Stealth Van Safety is Priority One... With all of these Doped up, Desperate Crazies, Lurking Around , Trying to Burglarize Parked Vehicles, at all Hours of the Night... I feel an Emergency Switch to Light Up 4- Sides of the Van, would Help Immensely, also - a Panic Alarm or Loud Horn Sounding Off... Could Send the Intruder Running Away...!! BillinL.A. 10/15/22.

@ThomasMcPherson 2 года назад

Man I been watching you for a long time and to see the depth of how you keep growing and expanding new ideas on builds is mind blowing!! I own a construction company and just bought my first box truck all I know is when I retire the box truck Imma make a Wild build out of it! Definitely going to be looking back at your old builds during that process! Very motivating man!!! Thanks for the content 🙏🏼🙌🏼

@mrmotofy 2 года назад

Add on on the rear now for a backup cam...on a truck that large visibility is good.

@randallmedley4495 2 года назад

I m very proud this what you made in the first history, I never think about it this one. I want to thank you for sharing this for our country's safety!

@captaincatastrophe5143 2 года назад

Hey brother, might wana invest in something called Heat Shrink Tubing for your AV connections. Electric tape will get the job done, but HST will last a lot longer and has zero chance of slipping off as it moulds to the shape of what it's covering.

@vickilindberg6336 4 месяца назад

@RyouConcord 2 года назад

YES!! DUDE I WAS RACKING MY BRAIN THINKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WENT AND DID THIS!! I was thinking of something quite similar but I wasn't sure how to execute it. Oh DAMN thanks dude for uploading, this is so helpful!

@Subgunman 2 года назад

Very nice setup! Thanks for the links as well!

@aaronhamburg4428 2 года назад

I installed security cameras on my van two months ago and at first was looking into the old school way like you did it. At the end I end up with a more modern setup, with two ip spycams. Since I already have a non stop internet in the van for my work it just made more sense to have those because I can see what's happening around the van when I leave it perked. Other benefit of the ip cams is recording in the cloud and motion detection alarms. Knowing that I get message if anyone starts messing with the van and I can then see what is going on right away makes me feel a lot more safer when my leave my micro house.

@BigQ07 2 года назад

Will you post the link to the cameras you used?

@seanrock8717 Год назад

Man you deserve 1M+ subs. Great videos...very inspiring!

@ParArdua 2 года назад

@OldExodus 9 месяцев назад

Great idea! I’m glad you did the video because I was wondering where you got the system from

@Kayte... 2 года назад

Another timely, useful and well done vid. Thanks!

@k-station5708 2 года назад

Hey, awesome video! Just wondering how you are actually recording footage with your security cameras. Are you loop recording onto an SD card using the 4way monitor or through your mirror? Thanks!

@splattdaddydog1041 2 года назад

@ronethridge9875 Год назад

you should teach your students-get some people to train to build vans -an videos on that/like your work man/keep the videos coming/thanks much

@Cyndeewii 2 года назад

I have learned so much watching your videos!!

@frederickfranklin8999 2 года назад

I have watched a lot of your builds, i'm impressed to say the least. It would be cool if you build a re movable 6x10 square drop (on a trailer) with a pop up top. That would be so cool.

@ifell3 2 года назад

I've just brought a similar 12v cctv set up but I'm not too worried about the look of the cameras. Well, I am a little, the red IR lighting gives it away a little at night. Sometimes overt is better than covert, especially if you are losing camera sensor quality. Great build though!

@kajman911 2 года назад

How do you store the video material? (Does the screen have a DVR function to store video?)

@stephenw2671 2 года назад

Thanks for your content. I am fixing to get a step van and putting resources together. However, I am having a hard time finding specific resources to setup the electrical and wire the van. I know how to do the solar and shore power install (I think lol) but just not the wiring to appliances, lights, plug outlets. I also understand a strand of plugins can go on one line as the system is only setup for like five ports. I don't understand the different gauges I need to be able to handle each thing. Thanks again for any direction.

if we can have opposite facing cams on the sides so you know who is approaching from front i will feel safer also if we can setup some kind of storage connected to cloud or something

I did the exact same thing but my side cameras are even more stealth ☺️ I build my van 3 years ago and the cameras (also cheap ones) still work perfectly. I even have the exact same monitor 😄

@starb5259 Год назад

nice, what cameras did you choose?

@tamo9520 11 месяцев назад

I'm another one who would liek to know what cameras you used. And I"m sure that the 2 of us who commented ae not the only ones. Would you please kindly share that info?
