What happens if they turn the power off at the meter box or cut the phone line (very easy)?

Regards

Its a good post for caravan owners leaving their homes so I think its valid. I'd also buy half dozen fake exterior cameras. They're inexpensive and a red motion light comes on. A deterant, like a steering lock on a car is to a theif.

Thinking of a house. Hoping to buy before setting off, and short trips still in the mix. But it could apply to a van. Where I am staying while some home stuff is being sorted (and is taking ages), thieves got past controlled security keyed gates and doors to steal a vehicle and loaded it with goodies at the same time. Police admit no chance of recovery of personal items and vehicle will be chopped or burned somewhere. No sign of break-in.

I reckon all that might have helped is a good image of the offenders.

To Denis, Good point. Maybe one outside camera watching the front and power board. But I am only thinking of one camera inside so I will take that chance. Also I don't know what happens when power is interrupted. Does it re-set?

Barboots, Yes I am worried about security. But some are worse than others. I am led to believe that the one suggested is better than most.

Eaglemax, Thanks I had forgotten about the false detectors.

An internal camera is not going to help, once the intruder is in your home is ransacked and goods stolen. Better off upgrading locks etc and perhaps using some dummy cameras outside that are visible from the street. 

As an insurance claims manager I have seen a lot of gimmicks that don't reduce losses when people break and enter.
