Alpine at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2023
The 5 innovations in the caravanning sector that Alpine is showing include: a retrofittable 360° HD camera system for motorhomes, a digital rear-view mirror for motorhomes and panel vans, a plug-and-play navigation upgrade for Alpine Halo9 / Halo11, among others, a motorhome dashcam that can be upgraded to a smart surveillance system, and last but not least, an ultra-compact speaker series for motorhomes and caravans.
Alpine Adventure Audio In-Cabin Speakers
High-quality finish, modern design, and excellent sound reproduction in an ultra-compact form factor. This is how the new Alpine Adventure Audio In-Cabin Speakers can be summed up. Their exceptionally compact design and the option for horizontal or vertical installation allow for symmetrical and well-aligned installations that were not possible with conventional speakers. Customers can choose between a high-quality surface-mount option (SPC-L500S) with a silver-anodized aluminium enclosure, designed for corner mounting. This option requires no large cut-outs and does not sacrifice storage space (external dimensions: 506 mm x 70 mm x 44 mm). The second option is a flush-mount solution (SPC-L500F) that seamlessly integrates with the wall surface using a meticulously designed aluminium grille (installation dimensions: 530 mm x 26 mm x 45 mm).
The flexible and harmonious installation of Adventure Audio In-Cabin Speakers allows for immersive sound reproduction throughout the vehicle, enhancing the living or sleeping area both acoustically and visually. The Adventure Audio In-Cabin Speakers are ideally complemented in motorhomes or caravans by the new Alpine Subwoofer SWC-D84L and the newly introduced Digital Amplifier Alpine OPTIM8 featuring an innovative calibration system.

Digital Rear-View Mirror
"What's happening behind me?" is a common question when driving a motorhome. The intuitive glance at the rear-view mirror is often missed and leads to uncertainty. Not with Alpine Freeview: With the digital rear-view mirror DME-R1200, you can now observe the traffic behind your vehicle as usual. The panoramic view even doubles the usual viewing angle and minimizes blind spots behind the vehicle.
The digital view through walls and furniture not only makes overtaking safer but also manoeuvring stress-free. Featuring a high-resolution display and a camera with state-of-the-art HDR technology, the Alpine Freeview provides an extremely detailed and glare-free image both during the day and at night, even in challenging lighting conditions.
360° HD Camera System for Motorhomes - Alpine HCS-T100
Finally, complete 360-degree visibility while driving and manoeuvring, that's what not only drivers of large motorhomes and campervans want. Alpine's universally retrofittable 360° HD camera system allows motorhome enthusiasts to avoid costly mishaps and accidents. The camera system consists of 4 HD cameras and the corresponding mounting material. Besides the top-view, many other high-resolution viewing angles can be selected, with a split-screen display showing two camera perspectives simultaneously. When activating the turn signal, the camera view automatically swivels to the side, eliminating blind spots.
Alpine infotainment systems allow the 360° camera system to be used in HD quality via a digital connection. Third-party screens can be connected via an analogue video input (controlled via the remote control). The Alpine HCS-T100 can also be expanded with up to four additional cameras (e.g., interior, grey water drain, roof).
Alpine Navi Stick
With the Alpine Navi Stick, owners of popular Alpine Halo9, Halo11, iLX-705D, and i905D-F products can easily upgrade to offline navigation with plug-and-play convenience. The iGo Primo nextgen navigation also includes a motorhome software with pre-configured motorhome profiles (S/M/L) and individually adjustable vehicle profiles (vehicle dimensions and weight), ensuring that only suitable roads will be selected for your motorhome. Moreover, the Navi Stick provides Life Traffic data when connected to the internet (e.g., via smartphone hotspot), allowing users to avoid traffic jams and hazards from the very start of their holiday journey. This HERE Real-Time Traffic service is free for 3 years. Additionally, free updates for HERE map material are available for 50 European countries for a period of 3 years. Also included is the park4night campsite guide featuring over 120,000 campsites and pitches throughout Europe.
Motorhome Dash Cam
Many countries, many regulations: With the Motorhome Dash Cam DVR-F790 and the integrated docking system (Dash Dock), you can easily comply with the requirements of your transit or vacation country. The dash cam can be easily removed from the docking station when driving through countries such as Austria, Portugal, or Sweden. Featuring Full HD resolution, HDR, and Super Night Vision 3.0, the DVR-F790 captures excellent footage both during the day and at night. The optional rear camera RVC-R790 extends the recording area to the rear. In addition to the 32 GB micro-SD card, videos of unlimited size can be recorded in cloud storage (internet connection required). The camera also offers parking surveillance with push notifications and built-in driver assistance systems, including speed camera warnings.
Motorhome Security - Expansion for a Smart Motorhome Surveillance System
The DVR-F790 can be expanded with up to 4 freely configurable external and internal cameras (including infrared camera) to create a smart surveillance system. Monitor your motorhome for break-ins and theft: Movements around the motorhome are automatically recorded, even in complete darkness. The video material can be stored either on an SD card or in the cloud (permanent internet connection required, e.g., via hotspot or WiFi). With the Live View function, you can check the interior of your motorhome at any time using your smartphone or tablet. This allows you to take a reassuring look inside your motorhome at any time, for example if you need to leave your pet alone for a short time.
