Used this app on a couple of occasions now, most recently Tesco's in Lincoln (after IveaVan's posts about the council closing car parks to campers!). Worked beautifully, was also easier to catch a taxi! :D
Only problem with those cameras is kids pressing the button. When I was a kid I pressed every button I saw. I stopped a full escalator at London Bridge Station once. Didn't mean to. Just saw the button and it called to me.
Why would you have a button marked press if you are not allowed to press it? I suppose you also pushed the buttons for all the floors in an elevator .When walking past the glass case where it says break glass in case of fire,the temptation is just too much particularly when they provide the hammer,lol .
You're a truly great, great! guy Daz. I Love watching your channel. You uplift my spirit every time I watch your content. Thank you so much for uploading. I'm 57 and looking to do the van thing in my retirement and finally getting the opportunity to live a life of freedom and explore this and other countries. Inspirational and life changing stuff to come because of you mate. Hope to meet you one day. 😎👍🏻
I'm 51 and have been *mostly* full-time time since 2018 (relationships can complicate Vanlife🤭). I have very few regrets which are mostly about my poor choice of van. Life is good right now and festival season ticks every box for travel and socialising. Plan well for the cold, dark months. Keep on top of your mental health. Avoid eating like a single dude. You got this. Go live your best life.
Darren, those cameras on the side ideally should have been facing back to the rear of the vehicle. Now they're going to get covered by road grim and water & and you'll have to constantly clean them. Interior lighting upgrade is a great idea, and no doubt peeps will use them. Happy travels and stay safe.
Outstanding video, so many great things happen in the video. I managed to get off nights after 25 years. Doing 9 to 5 now and got a great sleep pattern. Hope you manage to get off nights. Funny enough was looking at getting the Emma mattress this weekend, so thanks for the extra 5% 👍
Another interesting video again Daz, that explosion and cloud of black smoke at the beginning was abit concerning had someone burnt their toast? 😂 It was good to see all the usual faces and i didnt even have to move 👍
Hi Daz I brought a couple of lights very similar to those from Amazon which come with magnetics, I traveled from Kent back up to Yorkshire with them still connected with the magnetics, so I defiantly recommend them also I've not had to charge mine up for over a year now and the light from them are a great led light .😃
You are very inspiring and motivating my friend. I hope to be at these venues next year. I have plenty of questions for you, when I get close to my next stage at looking what to buy. Based on my requirements. Keep the videos coming my friend, they are very educating. 👍
Very entertaining as usual, many thanks. Perhaps you should also check your maximum weight allowance on both front and rear axles? Guessing that it should be no problem with the Beast!
Hello my Darran ! cool video, of a quite relaxing weekend. Few remarks and comments (LOL). 1. Why is there a massive explosion with smoke in your back at 0:007 ?? The spectre organisation is taking over the world of campers ? LOOOL 2. You deserve a spanking young man! Abba has to be treated with the greatest respect ! I expect a choreography on dancing queen or a karaoke on Mama Mia on the next video as a punishment and when you'll visit Belgium I'll take you to Waterloo and you'll have to climb the hill to the lion LOOOOOOL 3. the projector/beamer quality seems ok actually ? Do you like it ? is it worth it ? Big Hugs to you and to your friends xxx Vince
The explosion is VFX. A throwback to my van arriving at a 2019 show in a huge cloud of smoke. It wasn't a touch choice to stay in watching Top Gun, but word is we missed a fun show. 🕺🏻 The projector is really great, but it does need a proper screen to get the best from it. When the weather improves, movie nights will be outdoors!
@@Mevi Movie nights outdoor are so much fun ! it's a brilliant idea actually ! Top Gun wouldn't be my first choice actually hahaha! I would go for Motorhomes movie like "RV" with Robin Williams (not the best comedy ever but can be fun to watch on campground), "Paul"with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (I love them) or my preferred "Nomadland" with Frances McDormand...but his one is more a documentary/drama/road movie mixing actors and real people...a bit sad and depressing ! don't take this one for fun LOL
Hi Daz really great video looks like your really enjoying living in camper/land yacht loving the stick on usb battery lights look amazing the show looks good and it was nice to see you hanging out with John and Mandy really looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😊👍🏻
Great video, I've seen you for a few year but only when you have bumped into John & Mandy, Did not know do your own show, would have loved to have seen that. Your video was so much better than I expected so much so I would really go out of my way to go and watch your talk. Just while I was thinking this is a great video you hit a lot of things I was planning. I would like to know how you can get your van to be able to take more weight, what it consists of doing. is it a brake up scale or suspension. love to know more because with living in a van that's my biggest worry. Thanks for the video learnt a lot from it. Ray K UK. YNWA.
Hi Daz. Another great video my friend. Id love to go to these shows but I’m in the depths of cornwall so it’s a very long drive for me and my van ‘Shirley’s’ a little slow so take a week to get there 🤣.went to perranporth airfield Sputfire caning last week and they remembered you 😀 that’s a lovely spot 🚐. Take care x
Hi Daz, How have you been going on with the Blink system, I’m just about ready to install mine. Anything you would do differently? I thought about putting mine higher up but angling them down. Maybe you should do A follow up video. If your at Campervan Campout 2024 I will hopefully get to meet you there, and cadge a sticker, cheers Fred
Certainly driveway alarms the PIR sensor outside uses very little battery as do wire free door bell push buttons its the receiver that seems to use the battery up unless its plug in the mains one.
The link appears to go straight to the door bell and not the bracket? Would be good for update on how they stay stuck while on the road. Im thinking of adding these but some say the blink mini`s are a better choice?
The cameras are still on! I saw Daz last weekend. He explained that it was the mounting options that led him to use the doorbells. The fixings for the outdoor cameras would make it difficult to mount at head height where he wanted them, without them standing out on stalks. There are a lot of options for mounting the doorbells. I'll link to the ones he bought, but there are dozens of designs.
@@Mevi Thanks for the info. If you can send links that be great. Have looked online, most appear to be black, white would suit better as more discreet. Thanks
I had this idea a while ago but haven't got round to buying them. I'm going to fir them to the wing mirrors. Sorry but if we every see you it's too tempting now we will have to press the button and leave you a video message lol 😂
Greetings from Wisbech if you pass through Wisbech ever come to the Tesco extra I’m the security Gaurd would be nice to say hello. Lol. You still planning euro trip that would make some good footage
Can I ask if you use a special camera for your walk around or is it your mobile. I'm wanting to start a vlog when my van is finished so need to get it right. Love watching your video m8 😅
🎉yay! I made it in one of your videos, may only be my back, but still in it, thanks Mevi 🤣 Good video Daz. Hopefully see you at Campervan Campout next Saturday 😊
Another RUclipsr who has a campervan used the Blink outdoor cameras which may be a better option than the doorbell cameras? Just be cautious, I have this on my front door and it doesn’t always pick up footage and can miss people occasionally so not the most reliable in my experience
I've read that battery powered wireless CCTV (or doorbells) have a delay coming out of their power saving sleep mode. There is an option to run the Blink doorbell from wired power (not an option for Daz), but I don't know if that has any effect.
becoming a bit of a celebrity daz with all your talks i was 500kilo out on my guess but i never accounted for you haha i think you love your gadgets salt and pepper magnets what next
It is. Daz took out the Concorde Liner in 2 very recent videos. Starting Wednesday is a new fortnightly show dedicated to choosing and buying motorhomes/campers/vans. Daz has full access to the vehicles on the forecourt. Exciting times ahead!
Earlier release the better drinking my cuppa tea 😊 Why 3 ring door bells instead of something like wireless reversing hitch with wifi and phone compatible? Peace of mind is good 💯% . I love watching your videos you are so upbeat and share a lot of information when you talk about each topic. Keep the smiles coming 🤗
Yey, that sounds great. But to be honest, I think, for a Giraffe its not really a satisfying life, always inside a motorhome. Please think it over Daz.
Just a question that popped into my head, as I've had an issue myself. Is, can your mobile router connect to how many devices? I was running my home Internet through a sim card router and found I had difficulties because it would only connect to 5 devices at any time, so Alexa, Google alarm clock, door camera, TVs etc were each a device, so I then got a basic broadband put in, and found this only connects 5 devices too, so I had to keep sim card router too to enable me to use smart light bulbs as each one of those is a device so even with broadband and sim router I'm limited to 10 devices between them. These smart devices are great but I'm wondering how practical they can be on your Internet setup
Expensive, right. And you'd need an antenna to get the best out of it. If it's home broadband you want to improve, then picking up a second router would work out cheaper in the long run. Maybe there is a compatible router for your internet provider that you could pick up 2nd hand. When people switch provider, their old router is probably headed for the landfill
@@Mevi thanks for taking time to reply Mevi, I'm a bit of a technophobe so thank you for advice. So how would I connect a second router to either my home broadband router, or to my 4g sim card router? I have an old tplink router in a cupboard somewhere, would this allow more devices to connect?
@@DiAllinson in that case, pop into your local Curry's and chat to them as they would be better able to give specific advice and have the right product for you - plus they price match online stores. You would need to tinker with the Netgear to stop both routers fighting over which is the boss, so maybe not. I've used TPLink "power line" to extend a home network - they transmit data through your house mains sockets. If your TV, computer, etc can connect through ethernet, they can use "powerline" instead and free up the WiFi. OR even run ethernet cable along the skirting board. 🤭
What was that massive smoke cloud at beginning of the video
Just a casual explosion to start the video with Daz 😮😂😂
Can't believe more people haven't commented on it.
Nobody's commented on the Giraffe at 20:55
This is why I am in the comments!
Yep.... I'm in the comments for the explosion 🤣💥

Hi Daz
Got Litmor wireless CCTV around our van
Cameras attached when we park up.
Have Reolink cameras inside, both work with van’s Wi-Fi

You could install those cameras higher and tilt them a couple of degrees.
Outstanding video, so many great things happen in the video.
I managed to get off nights after 25 years. Doing 9 to 5 now and got a great sleep pattern.
Hope you manage to get off nights.
Funny enough was looking at getting the Emma mattress this weekend, so thanks for the extra 5% 👍
What was explosion in background at beginning of the video?
WHOA?? Huge explosion behind you Daz! @ 0.07 ?
It seems that it was only us two who saw it.
@@Cilmaen there was no sound to accompany it; must be deliberate effect. 😁
@@jeff30795 it IS a visual effect - a joke about my awful van. I tried to make it look *kinda* real, but I'm not Hollywood so it's a little wonky.😂
Another great video and it was great meeting you at Peterborough. Joe & Ellie
Lovely easy viewing, you're such a likeable and genuine guy, thank you x
Always enjoy your videos, I've been a subscriber since the start & remember your first video. You've come a long way since then
Another interesting video again Daz, that explosion and cloud of black smoke at the beginning was abit concerning had someone burnt their toast? 😂 It was good to see all the usual faces and i didnt even have to move 👍
Hi Daz I brought a couple of lights very similar to those from Amazon which come with magnetics, I traveled from Kent back up to Yorkshire with them still connected with the magnetics, so I defiantly recommend them also I've not had to charge mine up for over a year now and the light from them are a great led light .😃
O.K Daz, what just blew up in the opening shot of the vlog???
What blew up in the background at the start of the vid ? :)

Hi Darren.
Re the doorbell cameras what is the view like, sides and back?
Great channel, always very informative.

Love your videos it makes me want to sell up and live in a van, power to you
Peggy pegs are by far the best pegs,awning tie down etc.
Great vlog Darren, looking forward to seeing your talks at Campervan Campout. 😁
How much mpg does this monster give?
Must be very fuel hungry.
“Mevi’s here” (small smoke cloud appears)…..
What are you suggesting Daz!?
That's a fairly small plume of smoke for *my* van. 🤭
good see put good vid out thanks lee

Have you checked that there are no pull out down posts from the end of the awning?
Is the van hard on juice do an MPG video
Hi I enjoy your videos. One question what’s the big grey cloud behind you in the first few seconds on your video plz? Blink campers are great .
Certainly driveway alarms the PIR sensor outside uses very little battery as do wire free door bell push buttons its the receiver that seems to use the battery up unless its plug in the mains one.

Hi - the Blink doorbells, how is it going with htem? Trying to decide which system to get and want something easy to install. Cheers!
Thanks Darren and how long is your MH?
If you do decide to investigate up plating compare SVTech with Van Weight engineering. We found VWE easier to deal with and cheaper.
Hi Darren.
When using the wedge mount for the side doorbell cameras, do you get better camera vision.

how do you recharge them? do you have to take them off your van?

Maybe if the cameras were white they would blend in with the motorhome better.
Are you keeping your cpc up to date now you've quit driving hgv's?
What was all the smoke at the start 🤣
Pretty certain it wasn’t ABBA 🤔
Maybe get some rechargeable batteries and a charger for the lights, rechargeable tend to have less energy storage though.
Yey, that sounds great. But to be honest, I think, for a Giraffe its not really a satisfying life, always inside a motorhome. Please think it over Daz.
