Living in a vehicle the last few years has helped me save & keep all the money I would’ve otherwise paid to a landlord. So I can afford a security system now, and urgently need one because people are starting to catch onto my patterns and hover around my vehicle like vultures. Please tell me the best security system you know of. I am not savvy with electronics and gadgets, and I never will be. So I need someone to tell me.
I’m thinking of a fuel kill switch or battery kill switch or whatever that thing is;
I’m thinking of camera system that I can monitor with my smartphone from wherever I am, etc
I’m thinking keeping several air tags all around my vehicle, in pockets of clothing, and in bags, and under my mattress (can I use Apple air tags if I don’t own any apple devices??, I run on Samsung and Lenovo and Linux);
Please tell me where to get these things, what the best brands are of fuel/battery kill switches, camera monitoring system
A free first step would be to have no observable pattern. And/or leaving that general area if possible.
I would think about the actual threat model and what I could do about it. If someone steals your doodad with an airtag on it are you going to find it and take it back from them?
Regarding my patterns: I can’t help it that I have to go to work every day at the same place, and there is only one authorized place to park. As soon as I leave work I keep no patterns but while I’m at work away from my vehicle, vultures are vulturing.
And never mind what I said about airtags. I tried to delete that I even mentioned airtags but Lemmy wouldn’t let me delete it.
If employee vehicles are in danger perhaps the employer (or property owner) could hire a security detail? Might present this as a benefit to them to keep customers from getting scared off by crime?
I worked at a place in a ratty part of time once. Literal crackheads and prostitutes wandering through our lot. After a couple break-ins the company put up a fence.
