Portable security system prevents theft, provides peace of mind

Imagine you and your family spending a gorgeous, sun-filled day enjoying nature along a winding hiking trail, then returning to your campsite to discover that you have been robbed.

Your tow-behind camper has been broken into and the thieves made sure to clean your family out of your prized electronic equipment -- the laptop, GPS unit, gaming system, DVD player, LCD HD TV and even your daughter’s iPod left charging are all gone. At quick glance, you figure the burglar got away with at least $2,000 in goods, and to top it off, your camper door will no longer close.

For many people, the theft of valuable contents not only carries the monetary loss, but there is also the headache and stress associated with filling out insurance forms, filing police reports and replacing what was stolen.

Whatever you are hauling -- boats, campers, motorcycles, ATVs or a trailer to tow your tools and equipment back and forth from the jobsite -- make sure it is theft-proof.

Some preventative tools, like chains and locks, make the process of stealing a tow-behind much more difficult. However, the reality is that with just one snip of a chain cutter, the thief can be off with some, if not all, of your belongings. Additionally, some determined thieves simply hitch your trailer to their vehicle and tow everything away to a remote site where they pillage through your belongings and then leave your trailer abandoned and destroyed.

But this does not need to happen anymore. Trailer Dog Security Systems has unleashed a new, high level of defense to protect portable belongings. The company has designed a full line of security systems for anything mobile -- campers included.

How does it work?

Trailer Dog has several security systems on the market, all with one goal in mind -- to deter thieves. All Trailer Dog Security Systems can work off of solar energy (with battery back-up), making it ideal for locations where electricity isn’t available.

When unauthorized activity is detected, units will sound two ear-piercing sirens, flash lights and even lock trailer brakes (if applicable). Often the siren and lights alone will be enough to make a thief run. But for additional peace-of-mind, GT units come with real-time GPS tracking, cellular notifications and can be remotely controlled though the Internet.

Additionally, units are completely customizable to fit your specific needs, whether it is to detect motion, smoke, fire or water. Any commercially available sensor can be adapted into the Trailer Dog Security System.

No bigger than a flat-panel computer monitor, all Trailer Dog Security Systems are easy to install and require minimal maintenance. Additionally, they are as easy, if not easier, to use as a car alarm.

How much does this security cost?

Trailer Dog Security Systems are extremely affordable, especially when you consider how much it would cost if you got burglarized just once. Not only would you need to replace all that was stolen, but you would also lose personal time while filling out insurance claims and police reports.

The price of a Trailer Dog Security System starts at $500 and increases depending on what customizations you choose. Furthermore, systems are sold with complete installation instructions, and each has a two-year warranty.

About Trailer Dog, LLC

Trailer Dog, LLC was founded in 2002 by Jack Landis, a carpenter by trade. He realized the need for a trailer security system when his construction trailer was broken into and his tools were stolen. After an exhaustive search that didn’t produce what he was looking for, he decided to develop his own security solution. Knowing that power is not normally available, Trailer Dog was designed as the first solar-powered security system on the market.

Since its inception, Trailer Dog has continued to advance its product line with new technologies, most recently with real time GPS tracking and two-way cellular communication systems.
