Verge Gets festival ready with Vodafone's Connected Caravan

Packed with the latest IoT products and smart technology, Vodafone employee Dirk Ellenbeck kitted out his own ‘Connected Caravan’ to demonstrate how technology can improve your camping experience – making it simpler and safer.

We went to check out the state-of-the-art ‘Connected Caravan’ which features a range of connected devices from the V by Vodafone range allowing you to protect your caravan via your smartphone. Whether you’re nearby or far away, you’ll be able to keep tabs on everything from possible intruders (using the V-Auto) to fire and water damage, thanks to the V-Camera and V-Home Safety Starter Kit.

If you’re travelling as a family, you can even keep an extra eye on your children with V-Kids and monitor your pets via the V-Pet – making your next holiday the safest, most relaxing and most enjoyable yet!

The ‘Connected Caravan’ also features many other smartphone-controlled features including remote door locking, a levelling system (using an automated lift system) and, for caravans with solar panels, an energy monitoring system with a power invertor.
